What is with Americans and not understanding the word 'salad'
I just watched a guy cover tinned beans in mayonnaise and call it bean salad.
Edit: This is the definition of salad people.
USian restaurants: no we don't have any vegan or even vegetarian salads, but if you want we can charge you full price and just not put grilled chicken on top
One of my biggest pet peeves.
A "garden salad" that doesn't include the ½ inch of shredded cheese in the ingredient list 🤮
Where I am now has pretty solid vegan options on the menu but places I've worked that don't I've let front of house know if anyone they serve is vegan I'll come talk to them and we'll figure something out. I could do rice bowls of various flavors, burritos, a few pastas, it wasn't hard to improv a decent dish
I need one of you in every non-Asian or non-vegan restaurant in my town.
Ordered a marinara and pasta dish at dinner event a few months back and told them no dairy or meat and it came with fucking cheese on it. Then the wait staff tried to gaslight me into not recognizing melted grated Parm on the prongs of my fork. But comped me a beer "just in case".
It was supposed to be an easy meal to request and they still managed to fuck it up. And no it didn't say it came with cheese. I'm still mad about. Pasta, marinara, veggies. How hard is that?
Would you like another serving of Spaghetti-O hotdog salad?
Delicious. Finally some good fucking food
it's like someone tried to make 60s US food worse
Why do people point at 1 definition as though it's the only thing a word can mean. Most words have more than 1 definition plus there is no authority over language so the meaning of a word follows usage.
I'm sorry. I'm illiterate
Good on you comrade. Don't let the red fash teach you how to read, they only want to propagandize you more easily.
Counterpoint: "Fruit salad, yummy yummy" (The Wiggles, 1994)
Also Merriam Webster has a more expansive definition
Okay I will accept fruit salad too
Yummy yummy 🐸
If you fuckers come for my potato salad imma turn leftist unity into leftist dissonance.
Also, fleischsalat is amazing and there are even good vegan options for it in the mean time I’m told.
Etymology of salad from Wiktionary

I read that in the voice and cadence of that NPC tik toker.

I'll mix you together
Fried rice is a salad
Gonna start calling the music I listen to while writing code "salad"
Ok but potato salad, tuna salad, and chicken salad are all good.
Also this Slovak fish salad looks good, but it doesn’t match your definition.
Potato salad or kartoffelsalat is a popular German dish that's been around longer than America's existence
Also I went to that site and you cut off the second definition 💀💀
My political days are over. NO MORE QUESTIONS
I WILL NUT EAD DA FUGGIN SALAD

Post that definition in Eastern Europe to instantly trigger three national blood fueds and an ethnic cleansing.
I got caught off guard at a Subway in Australia. The worker asked me what kind of salad do I want on my sandwich. I'm like, no thanks, just the sandwich. It took a minute or two for me to realize they consider salad to be all uncooked vegetables. Is that correct or was it maybe a small town thing (I was in Sale).
No this is correct, more convenient than asking "what fruit/vegetables would you like on the sandwich"
someone break out a salad version of the "sandwich alignment chart"

like good marxists, we must apply the dialectical method to resolving this contradiction in the conditions of salad
im throwing marshmellows and mayonaise into a Niçoise we'll figure this out
I think “salads” like that are mainly a midwestern boomer thing. The thing with salads I’ve seen more is people who think it’s mainly just chopped lettuce with ranch dressing (mayonnaise based sauce) and everything else is unnecessary. Even basic, common vegetables like tomatoes or cucumbers are seen as overly “fancy”
bean is a vegetable
salad people
Also, the west wasnt won on salad. Or some shit. I saw it on a bumbersticker on some overcompensating jackass’s truck recently. So it has to be true.
HOW IS THIS A SALAD https://m.cookeatshare.com/recipes/marshmallow-pineapple-tropical-salad-732439
you dont win friends with salad
Are Americans asking you if you want some salad and then putting anything other than a green salad like the one pictured in your bowl?
If you're talking about bean salad, no one will be confused when it's beans. If you're talking about potato salad, no one will be confused when it's potatoes.Americans think salad just means food covered in mayonnaise, it's so fucking gross
No, things covered in whipped cream or submerged in Jello are salads too.
This is hexbearica. I believe we very strongly understand word salads.
WHAT THE HELL IS A JELL-O SALAD
A salad is anything loosely mixed together. Fruit salad would be made of fruits
Permanently Deleted
yeah just ask any Spaniard about their "ensalada" rusa, same deal
the final word on all arguments about food definitions is that it's all made up and you can do whatever you want forever. tomatoes are both fruit and vegetable. a hotdog is a sandwich iff the person eating it is eating a sandwich. anything can be chili. champaigne does not exist, thank god.
You gotta have a warm fish salad at least once in your life.
I'm vegan so I'm alright for fish salad but in principle I wouldn't say adding fish to a salad is bizarre. It's more the sweet stuff or just adding mayo to something and calling it salad.
My wife makes a warm fish salad that'll blow your balls off. Here's how she does it, she takes some warm fish and she mixes it with a salad. Boom, ball's right off.
This bean's eatin' salad!!
I found a salad you'll love
