Just you wait until I talk about how I'd also go through all the spice racks and eat the spices.

And the balsamic vinegar.

I used to like eating salt. Just straight salt, sprinkled into my mouth. Plus I used to really like chicken flavoured chips dipped into caramel flavoured yoghurt as an after school snack.

Any type of "salad," (save for the salad consisting of lettuce, dressing, etc) is absolutely disgusting. 99% of the time it's just stupid amounts of mayo, mixed with random ingredients.
There are tons of salads other than garden that don't have mayonnaise. Two of my favourites are four-bean mix and salad onion with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, and grated carrot, cheese and apple. And even the types that do have mayonnaise are fine as long as you don't use too much.

That should only be the case if they're frozen slowly. Flash frozen vegetables are generally fine.

I hate to agree with Tiggum, but there are plenty of other types of non garden salads that don't have mayonnaise. I get a really good pasta salad from a grocery nearby that is pasta, vinaigrette, peppers, olives, feta, and other stuff I can't recall. No mayonnaise.

That's called a Greek Salad. And they are amazing. However, those fall under the garden salad variety, because they generally contain lettuce.

I've heard of the mythical pasta salad that contains vinaigrette or Italian dressing, but, again, living in the south, I've never actually seen it.

I should go to my local food store later and take a picture of the pre-made salad cooler area. It just LOOKS loving gross.

Nope. There is zero lettuce, spinach, or whatever. The majority of it is pasta.

Things like that would make a Greek or an Italian weep as much as a Chinese eating in a western "Chinese restaurant".

I raided the spice rack as a kid too :hfive:

I lived in qld when I was a kid, so during the gross, unlivably hot part of the year (90% of it) used to snack on an egg cup full of whatever veggies we had. It's pretty much the only good way to eat frozen green beans or corn.

I also used to dip toothpicks into the enormous array of condiments my mother kept in the fridge to taste them over and over. Also nips of vinegars. Balsamic was my favourite.

(I actually still do all of these things. And it's still awesome)

Caesar dressing is awesome. I would totally drink an entire bottle of like, the non creamy type over a week or something. Which is why I don't buy it. I'm not sure I could deal with being that goony.

I live in Dallas and can find pasta salad with Italian dressing at pretty much any grocery deli section. I love making my own though pasta, onions, jalapenos, bell pepper, baby tomatoes, olives, mushrooms, summer squash, shrimp, and Italian dressing.

Oooh, I can play that goon.

That is "pytt i panna", an old swedish meal consisting of diced onions, potatoes, and ham, all fried together in a pan.

Like all old swedish foods, its primary sin is being boring.
Which is why some ironic neo nazi cut some of the potatoes into swastikas, took a photo of it, uploaded the photo onto the internet, some goon found it, and the rest is history.

I like Swedish food, especially pickled fish. It was the highlight of my visit there. it wasn't meant to be some specifically targeted rant at someone or Swedish people. Was just kind of mocking how all of the posts get the same reaction and conversation about an unappealing-looking meal. I was being lovely.

edit: I keep wanting to post Pennsylvanian Dutch stuff, but the problem is that it's usually just very, very bland versions of famous meals. Hog's Maw and Scrapple in the south? Delicious. Here? Bland, tasteless, and gross-looking. Sauerbraten in Europe is incredible, but here it's just some puckering meat. Chow-chow in other places can have interesting visuals with some complex flavor. In Pennsylvania, it's just a bunch of bitter vegetables. Amish desserts are pretty great, though, I guess.

Hey! PA Dutch chow-chow can be delicious. I got some from a farmers market that was crunchy vegetables and soft beans in a sweet pickle. Could eat a whole jar of that stuff.

I traveled through PA with a friend who took me to PA Dutch diners, and I got to agree with you on the other stuff. Pretty bland, but hearty. Can see that it works for people who work hard on farms all day.

I've certainly built up an affection for the food over time, and when someone with great taste makes it, it can be something beautiful. It's just that it's the rare case.
