I don't think fruits belong in salad (except tomatoes of course).

[Shell Beau]

Chicken salad with grapes! BLAH!!
Chicken salad with apple chunks! BLAH!!!
Green salad with strawberries! BLAH!!!!

The end.

[ogneopasno]

1. Nasty mandarin oranges canned in heavy syrup! Ish!

[Shell Beau]

2. The grossest! BLAH!

Tastes like orange jolly ranchers in a salad.

[geardaddy]

32. Agree.

:puke:

[ipfilter]

3. What about Carrot and Raisin salad?

[Shell Beau]

5. Revolting!!!!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

4. Then, what exactly does one put

in their Fruit Salad?

:D

[Shell Beau]

7. Vegetables of course!

:P

[skygazer]

6. Boring

You are welcome to your boring fruitless salads but do not try to push your unfruity agenda on me! :patriot:

[Shell Beau]

9. Fruit and salad =

:puke:

:P

[HopeHoops]

8. Cucumbers and peppers are technically fruits.

[Shell Beau]

10. No to peppers! Yes to the cukes!!

:P

[HopeHoops]

14. Well, they are still both fruits - so are eggplant and squash

[Shell Beau]

21. I don't eat squash or eggplant in my salad!!!!

[960]

11. I love fruits in salad. Yum. Grapes or pears with a nice cheese.

Strawberries only work if they're really good, fresh and sweet. .... Apples, YUM! The only thing I don't like is canned mandarin oranges - or any canned fruit in a salad.
cranberries, dried fruits, figs, mango, ... all have their place in a salad.

I really think you're missing out, but then there's more for me!


:9

[Lethe]

12. .

oh the hilarity of southern folk

[Shell Beau]

22. Poo on you!!!!!

:P

[Lethe]

31. did you see the recipe i posted?

i actually posted a scanned image of a Southern Living cookbook page with a recipe on it.

then i realized, it's 11am, i'm drunk, and i'm posting a scanned image of a southern living cookbook online. what the hell am i doing??!!

[Shell Beau]

38. Nah, I didn't see it! What is this drunk at 11 you speak of?

:P

[Lethe]

40. morning lounge shenanigans.

i work the night shift this week so i started drinking early this morning.

[jobycom]

13. Fruit does. Animals don't. Why is it so hard to order a salad that's really a salad these days?

You go into a restaurant thinking "Well, at least I can order some iceberg lettuce and a few carrot scrapings," and you discover that even their salads have chicken or beef. And when you order a salad without meat, you get a salad that still has the little flesh stains on the leaves from where they ordered the pot scrubber to pick the flesh out of it.

Salads should be salads. Put the offal on some bread and call it a sandwhich, for cryin' out loud.

That is all. :P

[flvegan]

25. Don't even get me started.

[jobycom]

26. You know.

:grr:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. hmm. i disagree but i dont like chicken with grapes either

[HopeHoops]

16. "Dead animal parts" and the word "salad" just don't belong together in any context.

[GreenPartyVoter]

17. I love baby spinach with walnuts, bartlet pears, dried cranberries, and citrus vinaigrette. Sorry!

Oh, and aisian salad with dried cherries is cool too.

LOL

[Shell Beau]

23. EEEWWWWW!! Yuck

:P

[grasswire]

18. raspberry dressing!!

yuck.

I hate sweet dressing on green salad. ZERO tolerance for sugar in dressing.

[Strong Atheist]

19. Several in my family have made an apple/raisin salad with mayonnaise. VERY

tasty!

[arcadian]

20. I agree mostly

Although I did have a salad once that had pears and walnuts in it, that was pretty good.

[Gormy Cuss]

24. Well then -- I rescind any invitation to have you over for dinner.

Poor Shell Beau. The fruity fruits are becoming more common in salads these days, aren't they? I love to make fennel & orange salad myself.

[Shell Beau]

30. They are! I am a plain ole girl I guess. I like a regular salad. All

I need is romaine, tomatoes, and cucumbers, and I am good to go!!!

[TK421]

27. The restaurant down the street from me makes this wicked candied pear and walnut

salad....I bet you would like it, though. They serve it with a white balsamic vinagrette...:D

[PeaceNikki]

28. I don't think you're right.

But I will cross you off of the list of people suspected of stealing my Kraft Light Raspberry Vinaigrette dressing.

[Shell Beau]

33. It wasn't me!

:7

[Ava]

29. Mrs. Trof made my mom and I an awesome salad when we visited the Trofs

and the salad had strawberries.. it was delicious!

[Shell Beau]

35. They serve this strawberry salad at a restaurant here.

It has feta and walnuts. It is covered with a strawberry vinaigrette. Why do that to the strawberry? :cry: I do like feta though!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

34. One of the best salads I had in my life was in a restaurant in London:

Grilled chicken, golden raisins, and pine nuts on a bed of greens with a lemon-and-olive oil dressing.

I liked it so much that I worked to reproduce the lemon dressing at home. It is now my contribution of choice for summer potlucks.

[Shell Beau]

41. I would probably like the dressing.

[geardaddy]

36. Wrong.

Chicken salad with grapes! YUM!!
Chicken salad with apple chunks! YUM!!!
Green salad with strawberries! YUM!!!!

exception canned fruit, e.g. mandarin oranges

[Aristus]

37. That 's because you've never had a Pacific Northwest favorite: Salad with apple chunks and

candied pecans! :9

[Shell Beau]

39. Blech! I don't eat pecans. Or really any other nut.

I can eat almonds in a Hershey bar or an Almond Joy, but that is about it. Oh and boiled peanuts.

[tigereye]

42. aw, I love all that stuff

:hi:

[kwassa]

43. The tomato is a fruit. Don't like tomatoes in your salad?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato

Botanically, a tomato is the ovary, together with its seeds, of a flowering plant: therefore it is a fruit or, more precisely, a berry. However, the tomato is not as sweet as those foodstuffs usually called fruits and, from a culinary standpoint, it is typically served as part of a salad or main course of a meal, as are vegetables, rather than at dessert in the case of most fruits. As noted above, the term vegetable has no botanical meaning and is purely a culinary term.

So there!

[Shell Beau]

45. The title says except tomatoes!!!!

So there!!!

:P

[Beer Snob-50]

44. i do like chix salad with apples in it
