Dr. Herm @ 29/3/2017 16:58 It's possible the fish guts dish was called something else btw, probably not even fish guts in it. Some kind of weird stuff though. Lutefisk. Tell me it is lutefisk.

I like lutefisk. Eat it every christmas. Doesn't really taste much though.

That's because the lye removed any flavor/character from the poor cod.

I just strained potato salad through a sieve to extract the scant amount of mayonnaise from it to put in my tuna sandwich. What is life?

This is self destructive thoughts manifesting themselves

Was it fish cheeks?

Only Americans would think that dressing is mandatory in a salad.

You mean a bowl of ranch soup with lettuce and carrots in it isn't what I'd get if I ordered a salad outside of the US?

In England sometimes they'd just give you lettuce.

No wonder that place is such a miserable shit hole.

Who the hell puts dressing on a fruit salad?

Bruh it's a bowl of fruit

Note: Salad by definition includes an acid-based sauce (i.e., dressing) which is why you have to ask for dressing on the side or say "hold the dressing".

It's kind of like saying "Only Americans would say that pizza requires sauce and cheese!" Without those, it's just bread, not pizza.

That's not a salad by definition, just lettuce. If I went to Britain and they said "we have an awesome potato salad" and they handed me a baked potato, I would laugh so hard.

Who the hell puts dressing on a fruit salad? Bruh it's a bowl of fruit

If you check out fruit salad recipes, you'll find they usually have a sauce that is usually citrus-based (and thus, an acid). For example, this one:

Quote

Bring orange juice, lemon juice, brown sugar, orange zest, and lemon zest to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla extract. Set aside to cool. Layer the fruit in a large, clear glass bowl in this order: pineapple, strawberries, kiwi fruit, bananas, oranges, grapes, and blueberries. Pour the cooled sauce over the fruit. Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours before serving.

Without the sauce, it is, in fact, just mixed fruit in a bowl. The acidic sauce makes it a salad by definition.

Much like the Brits handing you lettuce, that doesn't make a salad. Even throwing something else like bacon bits or croutons doesn't make it a salad.

Believe me, we spent a lot of time defining this, because that's the kind of losers I work with. It's a specific type of sauce; otherwise, mashed potatoes with gravy is a "salad" if it is just vegetable with sauce. And it's not just vegetables or you couldn't have tuna salad or chicken salad or the dreaded bologna salad.

So we got tickets to the circus on Saturday. Taking the kids and I've never been to one before. Sad that it's ending but I'm hoping the girls remember is love it.
