Why can’t I find a prepackaged salad that is actually vegetarian? What is with the propensity to stuff meat into a salad? You would think, salad = vegetarian, there is even sometimes a stigma attached to choosing a salad, but not if its filled with bacon and chicken and other non-vegetables. I understand some people want some extra with their salad, but when I cant have one WITHOUT meat on it, something is wrong. —Fresh, Not Flesh

I don’t understand your problem.
Superstore and Sobeys has some don’t they? Maybe you’re vegan and can’t eat cheese, a lot of them have cheese but not all.
You know who loves cheese? This guy

I don’t know where the fuck you’re looking, OB, but there are plenty of salads out there that are pre packaged (at the places thomas mentioned) that don’t have meat or cheese in them.
Stop man-scanning and actually LOOK.
FFS.
Tommy, you have a cardboard cutout of Steve Urkel in your bedroom don’t you?
What are you talking about OP? Make your own salad! Or at least buy the ones in bags. If they come with (real) bacon bits, they’re in a separate package and you can toss them or give them away.
For the love of god don’t tell me you’re too lazy to even mix up stuff you find in a bag.. because if your problem is as big as you are making it out to be (and you’re not on some soapbox) then you should be making some amount of effort to fix it.
And FYI OP.. avoid the Caesar salad. Caesar dressing is well known for containing anchovy paste. It’s what makes it taste “caesary”
And op.. you’re probably pretty clueless if you don’t make your own dressings from scratch. You’re probably eating jello half the time too, am i right?
pfft.. come find me. I’ll make you a salad. Of course you’ll pay through the nose.
I agree! I really don’t understand this bitch at all because I’m a vegetarian and have never had a problem finding salads without meat and cheese.
Nah, but if you know where I can find one Mel, let me know. The bigger the better.
My birthday’s in June.. which is just around the corner.. hint..
…
Here’s an idea…go buy a head of lettuce, some cherry tomatoes, cucumber, sprouts, fucking kumquats, whatever the fuck you want in your salad, take 5 mins, clean and cut them up and toss them into a bowl. HOW FUCKING HARD IS THAT???
Idiot.
Why would you buy a prepackaged salad anyway. Go buy some seeds, grow your own veggies, then pick them and eat them.
And no, actually salad does NOT mean vegetarian. Salad usually implies some sort of mixed dish served cold and often, but not always contains vegetables. Fruit salads, tuna salads, pasta salads and potato salads are all good examples of salads.
There is no rule or historical context that salads do not contain meat.
It’s called “google”.
That seems like a lot of work Tommy. I know where I can score you a Justin Bieber cardboard cutout though!
i have a spock cardboard cutout
I’ll pass on the Bieber.. we’ll talk about the Spock one at the summit PG, if you’re coming.
You know what *I* want as a cardboard cut out?
please try & control yourself from calling me an idiot….But what the fuck does eating cheese have to do with meat ?
You don’t kill the cow/goat etc to get milk.
You are not harming the animal that you milk…as a matter of fact the happier more content your animal is feeling, the better yield of milk you get , so by using a milk product…you are actually helping an animal be treated better.
Sorry , But I have never understood why vegitarians are so fucked in the head, that they can label cheese as a dirty terrible thing to do to animals just like meat is !
Also are you so weak from your veggie diet, you can’t summon the strength to cut up some lettuce & a selection of your favorite veggies ?
I whipped one up for a bar-b-q on Saturday, some lettuce,red & yellow peppers, mushroom, tomato & celery & sweet onion took all of 15 minutes to slice & dice ! While I did go up on the deck & grill some dead cow flesh, the salad IMO should still be considered a vegetable .Even if I did provide fresh parmesian cheese for those who picked the Ceasar dressing or any other topping their hearts desired.
What PK?
well said, more. yes thomas i will be there, but you aren’t ‘avin spock. he’s my *special* friend^^
I know someone who has a cardboard cutout of Capt. Jean-Luc Picard. It’s pretty awesome.
I want a cardboard cut out of the word “failure” to hang on my wall, mel.
To remind me of my place when I actually try at life.
😀
You’re a winner in my book PK. And that’s all that counts.
Anyone who don’t eat meat is a wimp. Meat is the way to go! Chicken, beef, sausage, eel, bacon, octopus…..mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
It’s called a garden salad OP. Just look for that and you should be okay.
Supermarkets just trying to make friends, OB! And you don’t win friends with lettuce and vinegarette.
why ask me, you think i’m a fucking rabbit or something. and if i was a bunny, i would be the one with all those gooey good easter eggs.
Because without meat, cheeese or some bacon bits or boiled egg – Salad SUCKS.
Buy a head of lettuce, tomato and onion and choppy choppy!!
the bacon bits provided aren’t even real meat….
they should be ok for ya.
simulated bacon != bacon.
i have to agree though, not many people would want to eat a meatless salad.
I’d much prefer a meatlovers salad…. ham, bacon, chicken, steak, balogna and sausage all chopped up and mixed together.
What bugs me about a tossed salad is the pubic hairs. Ack!
you can have it with whipped cream…. or syrup….
I prefer the syrup
More-vegans don’t eat dairy because…in order for a cow to produce milk, a cow has to be pregnant, or be given hormones so that her body thinks it’s pregnant. Why don’t you let them be?
OB, if you’re vegan, you’re going to have to work a little harder, even in Canada (where the food is much more wholesome than the US!) You are better off buying a big head of leaf lettuce, washing it in lemon or vinegar water, spinning it dry and keeping it in the fridge where it will be ready for salad making. (If you want to be a real cheeseball ☺buy just the toppings from the salad bar)
My salads are made of broken dreams and bus transfers.
Sodey, that sounds like a new country album. lol
“Broken dreams and bus transferrrrsss.
Diesel fumes and lap dancerrrrrrsss.
Tossed together like a salad
This is the bus driver’s ballad”
*awaits salad tossing joke
