There's definitely a common connotation to the word salad implying vegetables and definitely not some kind of concentrated caloric slurry. A connotation not shared in German because it's another fuckin' language.


Because the liquid component is not a core defining aspect of the dish.

Potato salad
Tuna salad
Chicken salad
Pasta salad

These are not crazy obscure dishes to anyone but goons being performatively weird about mayonnaise

Brother Bear's Honey

quote:

for cheeseburgers i buy premade buns and chicken patties. but everything else i make myself! and of course the highlight of my dish is my special sauce brother bear's honey, as i call it

cut the bun in half, spread some mayonnaise (to percolate it) and put it aside. fry the patties until ready, if they are too thick cut in half, take a slice of tomato, onion, processed cheese (i like the one with bacon) and ketchup or mustard whatever you like more. this is our filling for the bun

on to the sauce - take a bowl and mix chocolate butter, grated hardboiled egg yokes, dijon mustard (to make it spicy) and finely chopped cashews, mix it until homogeneous))

generously pour the sauce on the cheeseburger and put it in the oven for 15-20 minutes!!

bon appetite!

Someone once showed me their prized family recipe for "Wood Tick Salad." I posted it in the old thread but

quote:

quote:

1 cup of wheat

1 – 14 oz. can of crushed pineapple with juice

1 – 4 oz. pkg. of vanilla instant pudding

1 – 8 oz. pkg of cream cheese

1 large container of Cool Whip


Soak the wheat overnight. Strain the wheat. Mix everything together. Chill for 6 hours.

I think the issue might be the use of salad by itself.

"I'm going to have a salad for lunch" (in American English) implies green stuff, rather than a bowl of (eg) tuna with mayo.

all these other things are salads, but wouldn't be referred to as just salad without the appropriate modifier. kind of like how we say pickles to mean pickled cucumbers and not eg pickled eggs.

other languages might not have that connotation.

Note how all of those have qualifiers as part of the name because while they have salad in the name, they are clearly a different genre of dish from normal salad, and the names are more colloquialism than a grand redefinition of the term. Much like how "pennsylvania dutch" as a qualifier indicates people who have nothing to do with the Netherlands, or how "baking soda" isn't something that you drink out of a can.

If you toss in some chicken with lettuce and tomatoes and croutons, it's still definitely not the same substance as "chicken salad" which has different properties. On a restaurant menu, one's under the "salad" section while the other's under "sides". They have different places in the food world with different nutritional properties.

Oh god someone discovered chefkoch. All is lost.

Might be worth pointing out to save the face of the nation maybe a little bit, the actual recipes do call for you to fry up your own ground beef, make a sauce etc. i.e. it isn't just "go to McDonald's get six Big Macs put in bowl salt pepepr; in it"

i'm wondering if it was meant to describe the look of the results as with this outdated definition of "tick" to mean

quote:

Definition of tick (Entry 4 of 5)
1: the fabric case of a mattress, pillow, or bolster
also : a mattress consisting of a tick and its filling

did it look like it was encased in woodchips/shards? i must know!!!

When you eat a dish with soaked wheat or other grains, for added fun imagine that each individual grain that rolls over your tongue is a huge tick, nice and fat and ready to burst as soon as you bite into it.

But that conceit falls apart if you ask for, say, a chili dog salad.

You eat your chili room temperature or chilled?

though some can be served warm

Now you could make the argument that 'hot' is not 'warm', but that just means that if you leave a chili to cool a while it becomes a salad.

"salad" (earlier, "sallet") as "a bunch of poo poo mixed together" as a definition PRE-DATES the concept of salad as meaning lettuce in a bowl by several hundred years, so the "redefinition" is actually the one you're defending, not the one you're arguing against
