Now, I know it's a touchy subject. But, among the Dungeons and Dragons players on these boards, where do your salad allegiances lie? I'm sure with such a diverse group of people, there are some that prefer their salad as an appetizer and some that can make it into a full meal. I'm curious as to who falls into the "Chef Salad" (Chef Slaad?)camp, who falls into the "Cesar Salad" camp, etc. and where your players/compatriots pledge their allegiances. I'm not looking to start a flame war, but this is something that I've been pondering for a long time. And, honestly...I want to know who I can trust. I've known people for years without even realizing that they belonged to the wrong camp, like those filthy Cobb Salad people. That's right: "those people". I do not st-st-stutter.
And I say here an now that avocado salad with some nice tomatoes and a fresh vinagrette will destroy any other salad on the flavor to simplicity scale.

What in the world is this "salad" of which you speak? What kind of creature does it come from? Are they a hard creature to hunt? Do they grill up well?
Just wondering.FH
The nefarious Salad is one of the most vicious and pathological hunters of human beings. They are ever shifting, ever changing. They are not so much singular entities as they are a collective hive minds of diverse flora and fauna. That chicken in the yard may be more than it seems, for it and the lettuce and other produce may be part of some vast, hungry and powerful creature just laying in wait to destroy you and everything you hold dear. You may flee to the sea to seek safety, but beware! The creature has arms and legs of ropey seaweed just waiting to ensnare you off shore.
The best way to destroy the salad is through natural weapons, such as mastication, since it has such an amazing grapple bonus. Woe betide to any unsuspecting adventurer that finds both a Salad and its ooze companion, the Dressing. Acid damage also helps, so if you can digest the delicious beasts, you may find that the odds swiftly turn in your favor.
Good luck on your hunt. And Godspeed.
I very definitely do NOT believe in the salad.

How am I gonna be able to sleep tonight knowing that a Salad may be out there....stalking me.....waiting for the opportunity to pounce on me......where is my nightlight?

Beware the cabbages on a full moon... <.<
I like pork tenderloin salad. For I am a member of PETA:

Ironically, when I first read this, I assumed you mispelled and this was about slaadi demographics due to bizarre mating habits.
I'm generally a "whatever's on my plate" man.
I very definitely do NOT believe in the salad.
I respect your opinion, but I just wonder how you could possibly feel fulfilled as a human being without it. I mean, what do you do with your croutons? If you eat meat, where do you put your bacon bits? Don't even get me started on the dressing issue. I realize that McDonald's puts thousand island dressing on its Big Macs, but are you going to trust McDonald's of all places for dressing ideas? I just...I just don't see it. The picture of life is not complete without it.
I-I suppose you may not be my soulmate after all, Sean.
SALAD? You have got to be kidding! Ya just don't eat salad unless you have some overwhelming medical condition or something. Just don't do it.

My point exactly! get some bread, lots o' meat, some lettuce, more meat, some condiments, another slice o' bread. Thats a salad!
I like salad. It is my preferred lunch while at work. Manly because lots of meat and rice (people eat rice instead of bread in Hawaii), makes me sleepy. But not eating lunch will make me grumpy, stupid and tired by the afternoon.
*sigh* When will people learn that the whole question of whether or not to eat salad (and if so, what kind) is irrelevant to living a happy and fulfilled life? Forget about salad, live in the NOW!
PS I just ate some lettuce, a chopped up tomato and some Greek dressing with my grilled fish and chips. And I'd do it again. I don't care man, I'll eat any salad, but I never let em own me.
Personally I used to hate salad as some kind of conspiracy by restaurants to avoid having to feed you real food by conning you into eating stuff they grew out back.
Then I discovered Cesar salads and I just had that moment where I just knew...you know...that it was right for me, that I had finally found a salad I could enjoy.
I've had to make a lot of changes, but I feel good about them, because I know deep in my heart that at least I've found the salad for me...y'know?
Hoummous and Tahina with a pita.
Greek salad with Calamata olives.
Roquefort dressing on an Italian Salad.
Caesar Salad.
Iceberg lettuce with slices of mozzarella, tomatoes and a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Japanese seaweed wrap with watercress and sashimi.
Slices of abalone and crab on crushed ice with peppadews.
Living in the South, I have become enraged at the illegal monopoly possessed by ranch dressing. At restaurants in Texas, waiters ask "what kind of dressing"-- and whatever I ask for, they nod, say "ranch" as if repeating me, and write that down. No one bothers to listen to the answer because I am the only one who doesn't want ranch.
I hate ranch. I feel like an extra in "Surf II" every time I eat a salad, except it's ranch dressing instead of Buzz cola that's turning everyone into zombies. HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEE!
And that crappy carrot and raisin salad. Those two are vile and should be purged from the world. There's really no place at all for them.
Do humans actually eat that carrot-raisin stuff? I thought it was strictly for rabbits and halflings.

I must admit that I am a hopeless Seafood Salad junkie. I used to work in a deli when I was in college and one of my jobs was to make the seafood salad. I think I got hooked by the fake crab meat.
I am also a fan of Sweet Potato salad. It is a diabolical concoction that one of my sisters introduced at a family reunion.

I've always been a fan of... I guess it's considered "House Salad"? I dunno... it's just lettuce, red cabbage, carrots, croutons, shredded cheese, and Ranch dressing. It's good though.
I am also a huge fan of Caesar Salad... minus the anchovies, of course. (And yes, Caesar Salad is SUPPOSED to have anchovies in it... most places just don't bother anymore because no one likes their food to stare at them.)

I believe that it was Jon Stewart who once said,
"SALAD DRESSING IS THE MILK OF THE INFIDEL!"
Well, except potato salad. And that crappy carrot and raisin salad. Those two are vile and should be purged from the world. There's really no place at all for them.
Like KG, I'm from Texas, hence I was raised from an early age to accept that potato salad is a must with BBQ. I do have to agree with y'all on that carrot-raisin mash, that's got to be the most vile thing I've ever run across on a salad bar. My mom & aunts all eat it though. CURSE YOU LUBY's FOR PUTTING THAT OUT IN PUBLIC!
I like potato salad. But only the one I make. That probably sounds conceited but one of the few things I do really well is cook.
If it can go into an omelet, I'll eat it.
Tricalore please!
Guys come on. Salad has caused some real problems in the past. They might do some good to the right people but these cases are few. Most people just misunderstand the intent and use them to distract you from bad service or food because it is impossible to screw up making salad. Honestly I don't see how people can put their faith in something that is given away with the normal meal.
Caesar salad? Sorry but I'm dubious of anything that builds its foundation on the back of an ancient political martyr.
To be quite honest Salad used to have a definite purpose back when we needed it for a decent source of fiber. But science has opened up so many more doors for us they can't be ignored. Just, put the salad aside and try some Total. Then maybe we could all put these petty squabbles to rest and restaurants will have more workers available to actually cook steaks in a timely fashion.
What salad do I like? I always order the largest looking salad and then ask for a to go box. Then I take it home and feed it to my rabbit. It won't be long now....

Give it to us juicy, raw and WRIGGLING. You keep nasty 'Total'.
I think we need to keep the big door open, and embrace all salads.

Blasphemy, Potato Salad is great stuff, esspecially with lots and lots and lots of mayonaise.
Down with Luke and his potato salad ways.You know really, there is no room for this kind of salad discrimination. I don't like carrot raisin salad but I don't think it should be bannned.
Really people should just have an open mind about all salad.
Not liking potato salad is just wrong, I just have no tolerance for such lack of tolerance.
I'll stop here before I get to riled up.

Second, run Dagwood through a meat grinder (you may have to do this in parts).
Third, broil for 25 minutes.
Fourth, put on a roll. Use condiments to taste.
Probably the tastiest newspaper comic strip character after Lil' Orphan Annie.
Dagwood is a character in the Blondie comic strip. when he gets hungry for a midnight snack he runs down to the kitchen to fix him a sammich. It ends up being like 2 feet tall, lots of good ingredients. Hmm, I hear the fridge calling me now.

They're mushed up in the dressing. Least they're s'posta'be.
I think I'll be designing myself a salad golem for my next adventure.

Only if it is made right, and believe me it is very good when made right. You do not even know the anchovies are there.

Would that require a salad shooter to destroy it?

I like both; a salad as an appetiser; but as a meal is ok if it is for lunch; never for dinner. My favorite is a Cobb Salad though sometimes am partial to a salad I dont remember the name of; Mexian or Indian or maybe Sonoran style; is in a large cripy shell with beans and salad and gaucamole and sour cream and maybe chilies or jalapenoes and lots of cheese. Those are good lunch salads; for dinner just a side salad or ceasar salad. Never had a salad for breakfast, that seems just wierd.
any of you eat salad for breakfast?
