The very many questions-not-worth-their-own-thread question thread XXVII

How does that work? ^^

It's not all vegetables. You add croutons, bacon, chicken or ham bits, dressing, many choices. It adds up.

Than you got a bowl of bacon, chicken, ham, dressing and crotons. It ceases to be a salad.

 

[Flying Pig]

They serve potato 'salad' and pasta 'salad', both with generously thick sauces.

Just gotta put the healthy bits on your plate then.

Noah Webster and Jimmy Wales disagree with you. Garden salads are not the only type of salad.

: any of various usually cold dishes: as
a : raw greens (as lettuce) often combined with other vegetables and toppings and served especially with dressing
b : small pieces of food (as pasta, meat, fruit, or vegetables) usually mixed with a dressing (as mayonnaise) or set in gelatin

Salad is a dish consisting of small pieces of raw or cooked food mixed with a sauce and almost always served cold. Salads can be based around a wide variety of foods including vegetables, fruits, and cooked meat, eggs, and grains.

So there we have it. My salad of a smattering of lettuce (and a few other small samples of veggies) with loads of diced chicken, ham, bacon bits, cheese, etc and a good 1/2 cup or more of ranch dressing is very much a salad.

EDIT: Who am I kidding. It's probably more like a full cup of ranch dressing.

Personally I like one or two types of leaf and tomatoes with a little bit of oil and vinegar dressing - complements the food without overpowering it. I don't understand people who can order a steak then eat it with a salad covered in thick, cheesy sauce.

Let's just settle the question by stating that salad is what food eats.

"There's nae fruit or veg in ma hoose", says the person (maybe Scottish, maybe not) destined for a premature pasty-faced death.

But Sir B, it's occasionally tasty to pop a cherry or two.

 

[Borachio]

There's an unfortunate innuendo there, too. Was it deliberate?

Ah, no. Wrong thread.

 

[Farm Boy]

I'm not up on Scottish slang.

 

[bhsup]

That's hardly restricted to Scottish slang, Farm Boy!

 

[Takhisis]

There's a difference between eating fresh fruit and eating salad. To wit, you don't make friends with salad.

 

[Farm Boy]

Ok, something about booze and maraschino cherries?

PM sent, FB.

 

[Farm Boy]

Bit awkward this is.

 

[bhsup]

Private messages?? Heh, okay, your call Er, unless you mean Facebook, in which case you should know I meant "Farm Boy" by FB.

I take it that your innuendo cherry has just been popped.

 

[Mise]

This is actually amazing

Thanks everyone for responding to my hearty question earlier.
