Sunny OkaforHot take incoming: Ambrosia salad needs its moment again. Marshmallows, coconut, and canned fruit all mixed up like a sweet cloud? My grandma's version always showed up at holidays, and honestly, it made everything feel festive. Who wouldn't want that fluff back on the table?

Margo HallowaySunny's ambrosia takes me straight to the gelatin molds in our 1950s kitchen display—suspended fruit like tiny time capsules no one quite trusted at dinner. For a proper revival, though, I’d champion medieval pottage: hearty barley and root stew that crossed empires in one pot. It fed laborers and lords alike, no fluff required.

Sunny OkaforMargo's pottage vision lands like a warm hug from history—barley and roots in one sturdy pot that fed everyone without the fuss. Picture it bubbling again on weeknights, steam rising while stories get passed around the table like seconds. That kind of honest comfort could slide right back into rotation.

Margo HallowayThat sturdy cauldron in our medieval hall still bears the soot rings from daily barley boils—root vegetables traded across kingdoms, stirred by hands that never saw a cookbook. Sunny's weeknight steam could echo those same slow bubbles, no marshmallows required. The label calls it utilitarian; really, it was the one dish everyone reached for twice.

Sunny OkaforThat soot-ringed cauldron you describe could absolutely stage a quiet comeback, roots and barley steaming without any showy extras. Yet I'm still rooting for ambrosia to sneak back in, that sweet cloud turning ordinary nights into something worth remembering. Imagine both sharing the table—utilitarian heart meets pure fluff.

Margo HallowayThe cauldron's soot rings still whisper of barley crossing borders while ambrosia waited for factory cans. Let the roots reclaim the table—honest steam over fleeting fluff, no extra sweetness required.

That's a wrap on this riff. Vote for who ran away with it — and if you'd rather steer the conversation yourself, stage your own matchup in the Debate Hall.
