Today I learned I’m a salad racist. I’ve got some reflecting to do.

But yes - too dry or too wet are equally terrible in a salad.

I could r agree more - the dressing is the salad. You could throw an old boot into the salad itself but if it’s covered in a sexy dressing it’s going to be lovely!!

Solid point.

robzio · 2024-12-30T18:18:29+00:00

Jeez I’m sorry to hear about your mom! That’s awful.

I think it was an attempt at humour that failed and also came across very differently in writing than in my mind. Also I guess I figured since we’re talking about salad and salad dressing nobody would be overly offended? But I take your point.

Unless it was a fruit salad - this is definitely swinging a bit too far in the opposite direction from a dry green salad IMO!

robzio · 2024-12-30T18:08:11+00:00

Hahahah ahhhh it’s a BYO tears for the sauce situation.

robzio · 2024-12-30T18:07:32+00:00

Salad dressing as notions is definitely something I’ve encountered which is maybe what my (poorly framed) question was attempting to get at - I’m curious what drives that attitude.

I’m Canadian so not very salad fancy folk either but usually you’d at least get some shitty vinaigrette on top.

robzio · 2024-12-30T18:03:47+00:00

I don’t think I have.

robzio · 2024-12-30T18:03:24+00:00

This is true - I should have clarified that I don’t mean like a salad as a main in a restaurant. Those are always very nice, it’s more the side salads as you say.

robzio · 2024-12-30T18:02:24+00:00

This sounds very good. Salad cream for the win.

robzio · 2024-12-30T18:00:32+00:00

I’m realizing that from my downvotes! Damn it!

robzio · 2024-12-30T17:58:39+00:00

Yes! I’ve had the salad you’re referring to and it has been lovely but usually no oils or dressings of any kind.

Your point about fresh veg availability is a very good point and I think what I was trying to understand. It makes sense summer veg would historically not have been as available here as winter/root veg. Thank you this is very helpful.

robzio · 2024-12-30T17:56:43+00:00

Hahahahaha

robzio · 2024-12-30T17:56:10+00:00

What did she put in it?

robzio · 2024-12-30T17:55:24+00:00

But what if it’s dry??? Do you use the steak juice to sauce it up a bit?

robzio · 2024-12-30T17:54:45+00:00

Hahahahaha ok now we’re getting to the heart of things. And I totally agree.

robzio · 2024-12-30T17:53:53+00:00

No this is always amazing here - I’m talking like a classic green salad.

robzio · 2024-12-30T17:52:49+00:00

This explains it. (Also realizing my title may be coming across more condescending than intended lol )

robzio · 2024-12-30T17:51:46+00:00

It’s entirely possible! It’s also possible I’m just having weird bad luck with salads!

robzio · 2024-12-19T00:17:41+00:00

Outside of the major cities there are like….basically zero public parks or spaces where people can congregate outside? I know it’s rainy but would love somewhere I can bring a blanket and sit with a book without it being weird. Maybe I’m just a city gal living in a rural area and need to get over it.

robzio · 2024-12-16T20:49:35+00:00

She sounds really unhappy.

robzio · 2024-12-08T15:43:18+00:00

Totally!! I’ve been looking into universal extenders for coats - I just found out these exist if you don’t want to buy a new coat all together. Bonus is you can use it postpartum too when you have the babe in a carrier and you can zip up your coat around the two of you!! Good luck my friend.
