Poll question: What do you take out of your tossed salad and discreetly drop under the table?

[Tobin S.]

1. Definitely cucumbers

[MissHoneychurch]

2. Dill zest

or if in it celery.

[miscsoc]

3. All tomatoes are foul

[bigwillq]

4. Peppers (nt)

[InkAddict]

5. I eliminate those chunky croutons that scratch your gums

or get soggy in the vinegrette - the veggies/fruit/nuts, and assorted garnish bits stay - the more the merrier.

[SoxFan]

6. Radishes

Ugh

[LisaM]

21. Radishes!!!

They are my favorite.

[hedgehog]

7. You left out slugs and bugs!

[struggle4progress]

30. Yeah, I generally leave them out of my salads

[madinmaryland]

8. Olives.

:puke:

[LisaM]

20. I can't bear olives either

and they are a problem in salads because they drip olive juice all over.

[Chan790]

9. Meat, bacos, bacon bits, bacon, ham, walnuts

I'm a vegetarian, I hated pork products to begin with and walnuts are just foul.

[pitohui]

10. croutons

yuck bread on salad whats that about?

[azmouse]

14. I never understood putting stale bread chunks on salad either.

yuck

[AsahinaKimi]

11. pepperoncini

Seriously, they could ask me if I want them or not.

[struggle4progress]

22. i'll happily eat your pepperoncini

[AsahinaKimi]

25. I bet you would...

Yes indeed! :spank: :rofl:

[hippywife]

12. Anchovies.

:D

[gmoney]

13. Must... resist...

snarky... gross... response!

[femmocrat]

15. Peppers and onions.

Not even the dogs will touch those!

[grasswire]

16. what is "dill zest"?

Never heard of it. Can't imagine how dill could be "zested."

[geardaddy]

17. Nothing listed here.

[Riftaxe]

18. Celery

because it does not belong in a salad, and it's sole purpose is to be slathered in peanut butter and eaten separately.

[LisaM]

19. Why aren't mushrooms on this list?

She demanded irately.

[struggle4progress]

24. sorry. it's just not possible to make everyone happy. i had to leave off nude wrestling, too

[MilesColtrane]

23. squash, cucumber...

Radish will be tolerated as long as it's not in big, horking chunk form.

Raisans, cranberries, pumpkin seeds....they don't belong.

[tigereye]

26. I just move stuff I don't like to the side of the bowl, silly!

[struggle4progress]

29. the ants and roaches don't like you

[tigereye]

31. but I bet they like kids who do drop stuff on the floor!

ack!

I run around the house saying, please don't leave food there, please pick up _____, please clean up after yourself... :D

[Scout]

27. i might eat the carrots and the walnuts ... under the table with the rest! n/t

[Chan790]

28. You can have my walnuts.

I can't eat them. I don't mean I'm allergic, I mean my body refuses to ingest them. If I taste them in my mouth, I can't swallow. If I eat something with them in it and manage to get it down, it comes back up. The smell of them makes me "green in the gills".

I hate walnuts. My body rejects them...it's not sure what they are, but it's pretty certain it ain't food.

[GreenPartyVoter]

32. Mushrooms, avacado, & cauliflower

[Withywindle]

33. Carrots. Ick.

I only like them cooked.


Also, thankfully most people don't put fennel and its loathsome sisters (licorice, anise) in salads very often, but if they did, I'd be involuntarily hurling up the whole salad ON the table.


Also, can I cast a vote for lettuce? It doesn't disgust me, it...just seems to serve no meaningful purpose. It's not all that nutritious and doesn't have much flavor. Hell, I think in most deli sandwiches that use it you could substitute cool green crunchy paper and I wouldn't notice. When I make salads for myself and my friends, I don't use it at all - I use spinach and mustard greens for the base.

[Burma Jones]

34. Corn.......

[tabbycat31]

35. cucumbers

they make me gag.

Then again I don't eat most tossed salads. I have texture issues and don't like the texture of raw veggies (I will eat them cooked). When I make a salad it's fruit, cheese, and lettuce.
