Isn't Marshmallow Fluff one of the great American inventions? I mean, it's a jar filled with creamy marshmallow and has a great name like "Fluff," how can you not love it? Even the font on the bottle screams American pop culture and food nostalgia.
This is the 90th Anniversary of the white stuff, which was invented in Somerville, MA by Archibald Query (great name!). The city had a celebration this past weekend, with cooking contests, food, music, games, and other activities.
What do you serve at the fall's first dinner party? How about oven-roasted pork loin? 
Marshmallow Fluff is a wonderful concoction of sugar, corn syrup, egg whites and vanilla that is whipped into a creamy and spreadable goo. It turns out that the tasty treat might join the list of foods banned from Massachusetts schools, despite the fact that the spread is a local icon, invented in the state back in 1917 and has been a popular New England pantry staple ever since.

The company that makes Marshmallow Fluff brand marshmallow creme is suing
Williams-Sonoma over its use of the word "fluffernutter". A fluffernutter is a combination of marshmallow creme
and peanut butter and the "fluff " part of the trademarked name comes from the Marshmallow Fluff brand name.
Williams-Sonoma sells a marshmallow and peanut butter chocolate-covered candy under the same name. The products were
available over the 2005 Holiday season and do not seem to be in stores at the moment.
The turkey turned out perfectly, but the gravy's a different story. Avoid botching the one recipe that guests pour over their entire Thanksgiving plates with these quick fixes.
