You've never been to a college campus with a bunch of million dollar
suburbanites trying on the populist socialist look? It's all about
context. The classic Che image stenciled on a wall in Honduras is a lot
different than a pop-art Che on the chest of a white salad snob.

Again, i don't see what pop art has to do with elitism.

So "white salad" is, like, jicama and cauliflower?

Hell, I've got relatives down in Mississippi that probably ate poke salad,
and they're white. I eat lettuce and tomatoes for salad and I'm white. I
don't know what they call white salad out on the Left Coast.

They'd call it a "side" or "house" salad. It would be microscopically
better, including nothing more than trace amounts of carrot and purple
cabbage for color, but it would still be basically a lettuce and
tomato salad.

I'm in Ca. right now and a salad is often a bowl full of green stuff I
can't even identify. I head for the Broccoli, Shrimp and fish, and
detour anything that even resembles a McFood place. Definitely not a
rabbit here. If I eat too many calories I put in my pennance on the bike.

Ambrosia seems to be popular here on the left coast, as well as
variations on cold rice or noodles Asian culture-fusion salad
experiments.

When my Fijian neighbours first invited me for lunch, I partook
of some hottish curried stuff. Seeking relief from the spicy
torridity, I turned to the neutral looking salad for a moment.
But the salad was /really/ spicy-hot! I had to revert to the
curry for a cool-down on my poor, burnt-out tongue, to the
amusement of my host and his wife and many daughters. But it
was all delicious.

Fortunately and mercifully for me, there was a dessert of a
lovely, thin & wet "rice pudding" made from short lengths
of rice vermicelli sopped in milk, sweetened and blessed
with raisins.

I make the best coleslaw in town. But that's largely because
I include finely chopped-up pickle from the best commercial
pickle source in town. No walnuts, no raisins, and especially
no pineapple. Just the straight-up goods. The trick to good
slaw is to let the simple ingredients do the talking, and to
not overwork or overprocess it.

I'm partial to the kind of potato salad with hard-boiled egg
slices, paprika, mustard powder and chopped green onion in it.
I guess that's a "white" salad. Except for the mustard tint.
Macaroni salad is even whiter. But that can hit the spot too.
Especially along with something with cucumber & cheese.


cheers,
Tom

I recall a post about a place in Texas that bragged, "No lawn
clippings" on their salad menu. ;)

In some countries they call herbs "cut grass".

I've been to Texas, and in that state I will stick to the steaks.
That they have down to an art.

Maybe he is, but what does that have to do with Che?

I prefer the Austrailan-style salad on the Foster's commercials. . . .
Even if they don't drink Fosters in Austrailia.

OK,
So I'm not in Australia to sample all the brews, but Foster's still
beats most American beers.
