i'm a little hesitant posting this recipe, because i haven't explicitly received permission from the creator. in fact i haven't even really even discussed the exact "recipe" with the chef, but i'm pretty confident in my ability to accurately deduce it, so here goes:
elaine's famous potato salad
potatoes
apples
pineapple chunks (fresh, not canned)
mayonnaise
to put this recipe in the proper context, i guess i should explain that in hong kong almost everybody seems to love mayonnaise. it is especially popular to make "fruit salads" with mayonnaise. and apparently potatoes are considered a fruit. the school canteen makes a pretty good fruit/potato salad involving what i think is canned fruit cocktail, but its nothing compared to the salad elaine, the security guard from the dorm next door, made for some of the other kids in my program that live in her building. fortunately for me, none of the other americans seemed to feel the same way, which scored me an impromtu invitation since they figured i would be the only one capable of eating enough not to offend her. i do have to admit that even i was a little shocked at first, but the pineapple/mayo combo really does grow on you.

what better place for you than a place where they love mayo-heavy salads?!
try this on your Elaine:
apples
grapes (optional)
walnuts or pecans
cool whip
marshmallows
(you can add other creamy things like cream cheese, if desired or needed)
cut up hunks of Snickers bars
that's right. and it's hella good.
