While I have too many holiday favorites to fit within the small space of this column, there is one — and it’s a bit of an outlier — that I’d like to share. In our family, the top requested dish is called, innocuously, marshmallow stuff. It’s not groundbreaking and the dish goes by a variety of names ranging from pineapple marshmallow salad, pineapple fluff to marshmallow fruit salad.

Some versions are made with Jell-O, maraschino cherries, mandarin oranges, shredded coconut, macadamia nuts, cottage cheese or whipped cream. One person wrote on Reddit, asking about “this kind of gross American (possibly Southern?) white mush.” Sir, I take offense. There’s nothing gross about marshmallow stuff and even the most skeptical come to the fluffy side after they’ve tasted it.
