Sam Peckinpah had his Salad Day, so why can't manlymen?
So for salad day, everyone is obliged to eat a leaf of healthy food! Preferably uncooked and with a generous splosh (a word I made up because it rolls off the tongue nicely) of dressing. I recommend Russian, but I'm weird that way.
To whet your appetite, I present to you images of nice and healthy salads shamelessly stolen off the wikimedia foundation!
Here's a nice and wholesome Cold Meat Salad. It gets 8 for featuring meat! God knows we can do with a nice cold sausage now. That and the olive oil drizzle to go with the raspberry.
How about a nice salad platter with cheese and broiled peppers? This one gets a 7 because it looks cute and because I can identify the cheese. Lol. Try guessing it yourself! Answer is at the bottom of the page. Don't peek! Even if I don't know, the great pink unicorn in the sky would and he frowns upon such deceit.
This next one is just an ordinary green salad. Not very impressive. Even the cutlery is quite plain. Plus, the image is titled "SaladShy.jpg" No one likes a coy salad. We want our salads proud and loud! If you have it flaunt it! What's the point of being firm and supple if you're just going to hide behind the celery? We want dressing that is provocative, definitive, strong, aggressive. Sexy but not necessarily raunchy. Coquettish but not too slutty. If you want to be demure, you should have considered being a soup or a bouillabaisse or something like that. I heard cabbage cucumber stews are doing well. Bugger off and take your diffident ways with you. This one gets a 2.5. Only saving grace is the pretty little orange flower.
That's all the pictures I could find on the wikipedia article on salads, unfortunately. So that's the end of my introduction to salad days.
I feel obliged to deal with the fact that yes, indeed, the term salad days does refer to a period of youthful innocence blah blah and all that crap. Bollocks. Food is food. Food should not mix with sex. Except if you're experimenting with *censored*. But that's another story for another time.
For those of you who tried the little guessing game, good for you! The answer is of course, Greek feta. It doesn't have veins, so it's not a blue. It has a nice white solid structure, so it's probably a curd cheese. The slightly grainy texture suggests maybe brynzda, but in the context of the salad and the serving manner (small cubes), feta is a better answer.
Be healthy and prosper!
Salad Meister Wang.
