LMFAO!

I've seen better salads in January in Sweden.

I'll raise you a wedge of iceberg with Russian dressing from a jar.

After watching it again, the Che T-shirt completely ruins everything
and turns the whole thing into an arrogant bit of elitism.

No kidding. You can tell by the background it's your basic roadside
cafe of the type that's been serving that traditional iceberg/tomato salad
for eons. What the Hell were they expecting, beet n' pear rocket
salad? If anything, it's classic Rt 66 and is as authentic as you can
get. Stupid tourists. I bet they ride bicycles, too.

Same kind of out of towners that we get around here. They get the
porkchop sandwich at Jack's Western World, then complain that it's
bone-in. Stupid tourists--that's where the *flavor* is!

Well that's the point, which I should have mentioned. They were
_cycling_ Route 66. The woman in the video is relatively well known, or
so I thought.

I think that that salad is much worse than you'll find at most
restaurants, and I've been across the U.S. on land many times, and never
saw a salad that bad.

The problem lays in ordering the salad in the first place. Only some
nutjob from SF or NYC is going to order a salad at the meat n' three on
the small town square. An educated traveler would eat what the locals
eat, be it poke salat, field peas, or collards. Asking for a salad at
Bob's Roadside Dinette, then complaining is about as stupid and
ignorant 'merican, as going to Hong Kong and complaining that the
dumplings don't taste like McNuggets.

It's the type of overly educated ignorance that drove me from living on
the left coast. As pretty as it was, it was unenjoyable when a vast
majority of the population had neurotic food issues such as veganism by
choice, but with an inability to cook. You don't mess with food and/or
sex. Both should be enjoyed with wild abandon, and as often as possible.

Amen, brother. Now why are there no women that are like that? All the
single women out here in the 'burbs are vegetarian, neurotic, leftists with
cats. If there are any decent women, they're deep in hiding.

If you have never seen a salad worse than this, then you have lived a
VERY sheltered life.

I've been served far worse looking salads than this over the years --
salads where the lettuce was old, brown and wilted; salads where the
greens weren't properly washed and had quite a bit of dirt on them; and
the best one, a salad where a number of small dead insects (fruit
flies?) were stuck on the leaves of the lettuce. Compared to those, a
salad made out of shreds of fresh iceberg lettuce and four slices of
tomato isn't too bad.
