sad face? why?

(my original question is entirely loaded. i maintain that jello can never, under any circumstances, be considered a salad)

[msmidge.livejournal.com]

What if you make the salad ingredients into the jello? :P

[ewigweibliche.livejournal.com]

NEVER

see??? someone else had a grandmother who put it on lettuce!! (and celery inside, ew)

[honeyrider.livejournal.com]

sad face because the thought of jello makes me cringe. if i had ti pick though, i'd say dessert.

every nyc diner has a cottage cheese/jello salad on their menu. eep.

dessert

Hospital food in Seattle.
Dessert in Minneapolis/St. Paul.
Salad in the rest of MN, WA, etc.

Just because everyone else is doing it doesn't make it right!

salad!

seafoam salad (some sort of concotion of lime jello, cottage cheese, pinapple, and some nut or other) used to be a staple at my minnesota family's thanksgivings. LOVE IT!

I can call my house cat a tiger but that does not make it so!

[donkeyfly.livejournal.com]

well...what about chicken salad? or tuna salad? or any russian salad that you get at a russian deli?

[ewigweibliche.livejournal.com]

Not salad. Unless you dump it on a bed of greens or other vegetables. That stuff is fat and protein - not veggies or fruit!

[donkeyfly.livejournal.com]

whatever. some if it is killer and does in fact feature loads of veggies. especially russian salads. probably some of the best prepared mushrooms i've ever had would not qualify as salads by your description.

and i still think that jello salads are the bomb.

[ewigweibliche.livejournal.com]

Oh come now. You sound put out! I will defend to the death that jello is not a salad... but only in a pointless argument, not like, death for real.

Whatevs, lets just eat!

[donkeyfly.livejournal.com]

never put out! i just think it's silly to categorically say that salad is only what we classically refer to as salad in america.

[bloodfever.livejournal.com]

Salad!? WTF!??!

[ewigweibliche.livejournal.com]

Ah..... middle American fare.

[introducingyael.livejournal.com]

ew. neither.

It is a salad of the future...when all other food is in little pills, and all furniture, clothes, houses and plants are made out of plastic--for the sake of public safety.

uh, marital aid? ;)

...but really, it is a dessert. Salad? That is just wrong. No veggies in my jello please.
