>it says exactly nothing about the person who eats it except that they like a bowl of lettuce with chicken and dressing in it.
Bullshit. It speaks volumes. First off, it shows the restaurant doesn't really give a shit about the quality of what they serve. Because any place that bothers to make a proper Caesar with egg, anchovies, good cheese and house made croutons wouldn't offer the option of fucking it up with bland ass chicken breast. That's for the kids of places that offer wrap sandwiches, canned soup and maybe pasta dishes dressed with sauce from a can/jar. What can you tell about a person who eats at such places often enough to have a preference for the chicken Caesar salad? They don't give a fuck about food quality, or they'd be eating somewhere else. Instead they're choosing what they see as a healthy option from a list of poor options, like the fat guy drinking Diet Coke.
Is salad a meme?
w....why does the chicken have to be shitty and bland????????????????? and why does there have to be chicken in it in the first place? it's one more ingredient that can be delicious and add some protein. honestly why the fuck are you so upset about chicken in an already good salad
How did my fellow americans grow up eating salads at home? Because everyone seems to say that americans mainly eat salads with ranch/creamy dressing etc
I grew eating salads with olive oil and vinegar; is that not common in the rest of America?
from my experience most people do only eat ranch. I always thought it ruined a salad.
My brother puts ranch dressing on his pizza. Absolutely disgusting
Can't speak for my fellow sharts, but it's what I use. I usually add some minced garlic, dijon, sometimes an herb or 2. I don't like sugary sweet condiments like most amerilards so that might be why. When I used to go to restaurants it seemed like everyone put a huge nasty glop of ranch or thousand island on theirs. Even grils who said they were dieting had more sugar/cream dressing than greens in the bowl, lol.
>why does there have to be chicken in it in the first place?
To turn in into a proper meal for the kind of person who can't consider anything a real meal without visible chunks of protein in it. The same kind of person who thinks chicken on Alfredo sauce pasta and on top of pizza are good ideas.
>why the fuck are you so upset about chicken in an already good salad
Because it's a dish that's practically emblematic of taking something good and dumbing it down for diners who don't give a shit. You never see this stuff at places with a real chef in the kitchen and a decent wine list. You never see it at places that make their own pasta in house. You see it at Olive Garden tier places. When you see chicken shoehorned into dishes where it doesn't really belong it's almost always a sign the restaurant will be mediocre at best because that's what the people eating there expect.
no salad is a dish silly op
>I grew eating salads with olive oil and vinegar; is that not common in the rest of America?
That's how I grew up (raised in Texas). Often times we didn't even use a dressing at all, just some seasoning (salt and pepper).
my house used ranch but wasn't drenched in it. Usually used a fork to dip in the ranch then go for salad, that way you aren't over doing it
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY THOUGH. holy shit. just because you see a chicken ceasar at noodles and company doesn't mean a quality restaurant can't make an awesome one. what the fuck, man
