I'll never understand sugar, cool whip, or marshmallows in a "salad".

[@Caldella]

I think the vaguest form of "salad" Is any cold dish covered or tossed in a dressing, and a lot of 'dressings' are oil based. I'm guessing the Cool Whip counts, as technically, it's oil based. Mayo and Miracle Whip are the same situation. They're oil-based and originally made as toppings, aka dressings.

[@nicholasmiller5643]

They make some of the very FINEST 'salads'!

[@Mantheren]

Think of it as more like a parfait. But because its not in layers they changed it to salad to account for it being mixed up. I think? At least that would make a little sense to me.

classic midwestern food also includes roadkill and catalytic converters ripped off monster trucks if you go to certain patches of each state so we can't really say much as a region

[@lothcatskilledthesith6903]

​@@soup5344 sit down and finish your catalytic converters or no mayonnaise cake for dessert. lol

[@Awesomeficationify]

I'm glad my midwestern family never made this. They must have been protecting me.

[@sunnyfly7447]

We did something similar by me, except with grapes, never was my thing….

[@EYE_GOTCHA]

Why do they call it “Frog Eye” salad? 🐸 👁

[@maryerb6062]

Dylan, you're among my very favorite natural comedians. You own it.

[@carolynwheeler8315]

First I thought of Ambrosia minus the coconut. Then I remembered he said macaroni and that threw me off completely. It sounds unappetizing (i.e. disgusting).

[@sunshinelizard1]

"The other word for al dente is "correct"" - I laughed out loud, that's hilarious!

[@BrittyJo87]

I really do appreciate the commitment bites. They are large and leave nothing to the imagination🤣😂 all flavors received👌

[@JakeLovesSteak]

As someone who's been to tons of church potlucks, I've had this monstrosity a few times. I always forget about the times I've had it before. I never learn my lesson.

[@cutiesailor]

The first time I had this was at my great- grandmother's funeral. I loved it.

[@Bailemos888]

Why is this allowed, it's a sin😅

[@katieh890]

It’s so good though, what don’t you like about it?

[@bosshog8277]

Lol “it’s a mistake”. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 took me out, and I totally agree. The noodles in this just made my stomach turn. I wonder what made them do this back in the day. I would’ve rather gulped down water and went to bed hungry

[@MPurrez0306]

The face he made, when he said "it needs help" !😂

[@Medorcrit]

I love frog eye salad. Gonna have to try this recipe

[@Floareintherain]

It's basically ambrosia bulked up with pasta. I could totally see how this recipe would come into existence. Pasta can be sweet - think kugel. :)

[@victoriahoward8244]

I love Lockshen Kugel!!!

[@joshsero3487]

loksh'n kugel is a dessert, the only correct kugel is potato

[@HellsCowBoy666]

So nasty with cold pasta.

[@RK-fz7qc]

@@joshsero3487 nah, Some ppl just overload their lukshen kugels with sugar, so then it would be for dessert . You’re not supposed to make the kugel too sweet, so it’s a side dish.

[@tonyjackson4078]

I appreciate the solid, stone face "it's not good" summary.

[@lonanewell5578]

Love Frog eye salad. Its a favorite.

[@mads1406]

This man’s energy and humor is something that I will never overtake him in.

[@alrighty4787]

“The author called it her comfort food. I call it a mistake” damn he got me with that one! 💀💀💀

[@schulze420]

My favorite growing up!

[@audreyl.9200]

I love your videos! I'm old and I remember some of the dishes you make.. Thank you for a fun break from the woes of life. I'm asking for your cookbook for my approaching birthday. Thanks again, and keep them coming!

[@FireDancerProduction]

Ok I just binged every episode in a very short amount of time. His energy is addictive and you have to admit he's brave to try the things we'd cook, stare at, then order a pizza

[@Miniaturerailwaymuseum]

Man that was my favorite treat growing up, my grandmother would make it only once or twice a year. Great memories 😊

[@haileybaker1383]

Its one of my all time favorite treats as well! My grandma used to make it in the summer for get togethers and now i do 💗

[@Miniaturerailwaymuseum]

@@haileybaker1383 gosh it’s so good, I could really go for some frog eye salad right now, I have not had it in probably about 2 years now unfortunately

[@collinwarren7893]

It’s something you either like or you don’t and it’s one of my favorite things

[@liam_er]

there’s a thing called Ambrosia that my family makes every year for thanksgiving- it’s from my mom’s polish family it’s a dessert that’s basically jello powder, marshmallows, cream cheese, cool whip, mandarin oranges, and sometimes some chopped nuts. it’s insanely good and this video reminded me of that 😤

[@someweebkid9826]

I've done the same recipe from my father's side of the family. Also polish. I don't think we've ever done jello powder, but we do the same marshmallows, pineapple, mandarin oranges, cool whip, sour cream to offset the obscene sweetness, maraschino cherries, and shredded coconut. It's always been less of a salad and more just dessert

[@deezynutz4742]

I grew up eating this, always loved when my friends looked at me like I murdered their mothers when I told them what it was, most people thought it was literally eyes in cool whip. Also, I never have seen it made like this, usually it's just the fruit, the juice from the fruit, the noodles and cool whip. You also need a lot more whip to noodle ratio

[@1AnimalWhisperer]

You mean pasta! 😉

[@kimhongsuk8347]

My mom makes it the way he did. Although I think the recipe he used uses too much sauce and not enough cool whip.

[@kayleelavon5]

This seriously was one of my favorites when I was a kid 😂 my grandma always made this for barbecues.

[@rexbaumeister7377]

This is exactly how my grandma makes this, and my sister absolutely loves it

[@mattadams4426]

I grew up eating this salad and still love it to this day 😅
