[Mrs Miggins]

Can I mix it up meself?
Too much mayo in shop bought stuff

 

[killer b]

a chicken mayo salad is greatly helped by the addition of grapes.

i tried to make an apple, walnut and blue cheese salad once, thinking the combination of flavours would be lovely. i was wrong.

 

[pootle]

Warm black pudding is also nice with a salad with apples in ...

I think my crush could be turning up to a full on I heart Wolfie type thing

 

[mpython]

Coronation chicken with water chestnuts is lush!

 

[oooomegrapes]

Pickled eggs are even vilerer.

what is wrong with old old eggs in vinegar???


red pepper in salads o yeah, radishes are the devils food, especially when made to look like a flower, who wants to eat a fucking flower???

Nasturtiums are quite nice actually but you have to be a bit pissed.

I had orange coloured flowers in a salad once. I recall they were quite peppery.

Could well have been Nasturtiums...

and the exclusion of the mayo ....

 

[Hollis]

Fruit

What about fruit in salads.

 

[rennie]

eeerm ya, it's called a fruit salad Hollis!

 

[Hollis]

eeerm ya, it's called a fruit salad Hollis!

Yes. I refer to the fruit in a predominantly savoury context.

 

[toggle]

and the exclusion of the mayo ....

the only thing that needs mayo is some potato salads, and they needmore yoghurt than mayo.

I can't think of any other salad i've had that isn't improved by excluding mayo.

 

[Orang Utan]

Cured cold sausage like chorizo is alright but a humble banger that's been cooked and is now cold is just wrong.
Other things that are unacceptable is salads are rice, pasta and potato.
In fact anything that has been cooked and has cooled down.
Salads are RAW!

 

[rennie]

Salads are RAW!

they don't HAVE to be!

careful there young hollis, the thread could descend into chaos, all it takes is one person to ask if tomato is a fruit or a vegetable

I wish I lived with you. I spend ages, ages I tell you, making up delicious salad dressings with garlic and olive oil and herbs, blah blah blah...then I feed them to my boyfriend and he says 'I'm just going to get the mayo.'

It's all going horribly wrong marty

I recently discovered that all types of squash are in fact fruits so that should liven it up a bit more

I'm never eating chicken salad round your gaff then.

Actually I've got to give credit to a ridiculous sounding fish and chip salad I had in a Bond St pizza restaurant. Surprisingly lovely - I've got a sneaking suspicion it's in one of Nigel Slater's cookery books somewhere.

omg

so a predominantly tomato and squash salad, would basically be a fruit salad, rather than hollis' preferred option of savoury based salad

this could all end in tears

i fear for the thread

Indeed it could! Chuck a few olives and an avocado in it too and you have a perfect fruit salad

Pass the mayo someone

You'll never catch me serving it, though I have to make an exception there, granted (caesar salad is a guilty pleasure)
In restaurants chicken salads are often described as warm - yuck!


Don't get me started on serving cold salad on the same plate as main course at dinner parties - this is also WRONG! You serve the salad before or after the main course, not at the same time.
Salad that has been warmed up by other food next to it is vile.

I like that warm aubergine and almond salad that they're doing in Pizza Express at the moment
