In classic literature, Ambrosia was food or drink that bestowed immortality and was only consumed by the Greek gods. Various texts say it was a food and others infer it was a drink. In modern use ambrosia means anything delicious and typically refers to a fruit salad that includes coconut and might include a dairy base, topping, sauce, or pudding. Ambrosia Salads are known by many names which include "Heavenly Hash", "Creamy Fruit Salad, and "Cool Whip Fruit Salad".
