This from the country where a salad is a whipped cream gelatin dessert with candy bars.

that's as far as I can tell a largely Midwestern-exclusive use of the word, and by and large their cuisine is to be mocked from a safe distance.

the gelatin salad is the worst salad, but this is the Wurstsalat :razz:

This reminded me in the south they make poke salad. Made with pokeweed which is actually poisonous if not prepared correctly! Here's the grossest pic I could find of it. I think it's kind of a modified version with eggs and other stuff added.


it's got to be boiled thrice, with a change of water each time, or it's toxic. it's one of the first edible green things that grow wild every spring, but it's a subsistence food.

I have an acquaintance who holds some really woo beliefs. while she was communing with nature in a local park, she dug up and ate part of a raw poke root, and ended up spending a week in the hospital.

the word salad comes from herba salata, "salted greens" in late Latin. it originally meant what purists are talking about, but like the word pudding, it's come to mean other stuff.

my favorite weird example is a true salade niçoise, which is just tomatoes and anchovies, nothing else.

bonus etymology: lettuce means milky, bc of the white stuff that comes out when you break or cut it (not that this happens with most supermarket lettuces)

Potato salad

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

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.

"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

the word salad comes from herba ensalata, salted greens: lettuce in a bowl. it was redefined to mean "a bunch of poo poo mixed together."

etymology bingo isn't going to solve this, though.

Also, when did the "receipts"/"recipes" etymology lines converge or diverge? My parents have a huge binder which in one of their handwritings reads "Receipts" and for the longest time as a kid I thought they were just being really thorough at documenting their purchases. The binder was started in the 80s or 90s. I'm also wondering about the pronunciation of "receipts," is "recipes" just a simplified form you're meant to pronounce as "re-seeps", and then it got blundered back the other way to sound fancier/more proper by pronouncing the final e?

the p was apparently reinserted into receipts hundreds of years ago, but we didn't change pronunciation.

there's a neat essay on the words here:

https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/recipe-vs-receipt-usage-word-history

Garner's Modern English Usage has nothing about receipt/recipe, which is odd given how obscure he gets with other debates

Amazingly enough, Americans are actually using entree correctly in the traditional French way. Entree is short for entree de table and look it's really long and dumb but basically Americans copied the French, who were already like 5 steps removed from the literal "entrance" meaning, and it's only in the last century that the French finally gave up and dumbed down their own terminology.

here's a bit on it from Modern French Culinary Art:

I can't remember if this was the thread with the garlic in tomato sauce derail, but I read somewhere that Italians in general associate garlic with poor-people food and it's largely avoided in contemporary Italian cuisine.

meanwhile, Italian immigrants to America were the poor people in question, so etc.

here's a more nuanced and researched look into things:

Kerrygold is even better than the local grass-fed butter I can get. the controls they've got in place (no silage and only making butter from milk during warm months, iirc) are all it takes to completely blow away even similarly priced butter here in the US. they don't even culture it. it's just loving amazing on its own, compared to what we can get

I am 38 years old, I am college educated, I have traveled to multiple countries and have enjoyed a broad range of food both home and abroad, and have prepared many dishes myself, ranging from the boring to the exotic, simple to complex.

Until this moment I have never thought to put cream cheese on toast. I've done it on toasted bagels plenty of times, but it just never occurred to me to put it on regular toast.

I'm glad I'm sitting down. I feel like the trajectory of my life has changed, and I need a moment.

my ex was flabbergasted, even somewhat offended, that my family puts butter and cream cheese on English muffins, so you're not alone
