There's something wrong
about hot stuff on salads. For me a salad has to be cold. Although, I like a nice salad with a bit of grilled goat cheese on top.

does great warm salads. my brother had steak and stilton, even i thought that looked nice.

and yesterday i had grilled haloumi, stilton and walnut salad - that were ace.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 13:09, Reply)

I've never tried halloumi, and I'm not a fan of walnuts.
So I can safely assume your brothers would have been better.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 13:11, Reply)

buy haloumi
slice it. put it on the grill until lightly browned. sprinkle with a little lemon juice. eat with tzatziki and hot pitta bread. orgasm.

slice it. put it on the bbq on skewers with pepper, onions, mushrooms, courgettes, aubergines and dead carcass of choice. orgasm again.

haloumi is delicious.

Or
Slice it, grill it, eat the whole lots with nothing else. Feel utterly unrepentant.

Hmm, I live with a guy who does home made tzatziki (and also taught me how to pronounce it)

haloumi really is awesome.

i don't like it cold though. it's like chewing rubber.

Yep

i like it best of all piping hot and just drizzled with lemon juice, to be honest.

I like a hot salad
like a nicoise or something

a hot poached egg goes nicely with a salad with chorizo in and stuff too
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 13:03, Reply)

That's not really a salad, is it?
It's more like eggs with chorizo, with some vegetables under it.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Mon 25 Jul 2011, 13:05, Reply)

how do you define a salad?
it's made with salad leaves and raw vegetables, that makes it a salad
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 13:07, Reply)

Salad
it's difficult to describe; mainly for me it needs lettuce, tomatoe and cucumber. On top of that, it needs to leave me feeling full, but not heavy. Any excess fat will spoil it and then it'll just be whatever with raw vegetables. A bit of chorizo is ok, but some "salads" I've ordered, where you get a full chicken breast, dripping in cheese and a bit of cooked lettuce under the cheese, well, that's not a salad.

What about potato salad then?

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 13:21, Reply)

I was quite happy with the one I did.
New potatoes, cut in half, bit of butter whilst they were in the pan, give them a shake to coat. Little bit of mayo, plenty of chives, done.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 13:22, Reply)

Sounds good to me
They are nice with pesto on too
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 13:25, Reply)

and very finely chopped raw onion
just a bit
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 13:31, Reply)

red onion or spring onion for preference

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 13:32, Reply)

interesting
i have never tried this with spring onion. it will be done.

i was once making potato salad and pasta salad and rice salad (3 separate dishes!) as my starchy contribution to a bbq. my flat is on the second floor and i nearly dropped dead of shock when a voice said at the window:

"mmmmm. tatty salad."

Exactly
I wouldn't call it salad. It's more like a potatoeslaw.

I agree

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 13:33, Reply)

technically "salad" means something along the lines of "a varied mixture" i would say
but then it has connotations of being healthy
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 13:30, Reply)

something to do with raw veg

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 13:32, Reply)

what about fruit salad?

you make a good point
raw fruit/veg
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 13:34, Reply)

well you could use the word not in a food context
same with "cocktail" - you could describe a mixed gathering, for example. there's a famous quote about the declaration of independence being a veritable salad of illusion and mistake, or something like that.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 13:33, Reply)

I can see that with cocktail
but using salad for that would be weird IMO.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 13:34, Reply)

it would sound weird
and would be v crap writing, but it would not be technically incorrect.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 25 Jul 2011, 13:37, Reply)

apparently the word comes from old french for "season with salt"

No, it's just one ingredient on the salad
For me to be a salad it needs at least lettuce, tomatoe and cucumber. At least.
