Salad Days

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Just heard text read out from someone who ate his first salad at the age of 26yrs - and he says he now rather likes salads. So what unusual salads have you had that might baffle our 'first timer'?

My contribution? Well (and I don't know if this is a Scottish thing) - my family (parents, cousins, aunts and uncles) used to (and some still do) sprinkle sugar over their lettuce. And yes - I used to do that as well - plated and in sandwiches.

And they tell me that Scots have weird dietary habits?

Why limit it to 'dietary' ones?

 

[Rooter]

you don't win friends with salad.

Never had a salad in my life, and I'm an old bugger!
I don't like any of the constituent parts except hard boiled eggs! Oh, and tomatoes .............. so long as they're grilled.

Slime.

Can't beat a good salad with Kebab meat served in a fresh Pitta bread,topped off with chilli & garlic mayo :clap:

I teach wee bairns how to grow things.
They like growing lettuce and salad stuff but many say they never eat it at home.
I got their attention once when I ate a nasturtion flower head and they now like tasting the different salads/herbs/veggies we grow.

I like a good salad but seldom eat one when dining out.

Salads always taste better in summer.

So does Cider, although midnight anytime of year is bloody fantastic!

I love salads. When you have a Braai there are always loads of different salads knocking about to compliment the meat. You can't have a good steak without a rocket and Parmesan salad with some Malden sea salt and a balsamic glaze drizzled over it. Yum.

If anyone says they are going to toss your salad run a mile

Unlike those Yorkshire tykes whom take cheese with their Christmas cake.

Love sweetcorn in my salad AND strawberries in the summer or kiwi. Salads kick ass.

Need chips and cheese on the side though.
