I admit I like my greens but then I also like my red meat
I like a mix of tastes
mandarine oranges and almonds do work well with chicken on a salad as doo pine nuts on a salmon fillet salad
I think at the end of the meal the only thing that counts was it enjoyable

So, what's the big deal about owning/not owning a MAC - they work like a computer should ...(sorry, quick change of subject there....)

Go ahead and love the red meat, but get the fibre behind it so it won't stick to the intestines...

I also got rid of the Mac because the uncrashable system kept crashing. [Razz]

You just say that because you're 20-something. Give it 30 years, Mr. Hope-I-Die-Before-I-Get-Old. [Razz]

I agree with you totally on the salads. I hate all salads.

Iceberg lettuce is worthless. It's over 95% water and a very slight amount of nutrients.

...and the human body is made up of 60%-70% water (depending on which web sites you check) so it stands to reason that something that is made up of mostly water would be good for your body.

Got this off of the web...looks like it isn't quite so worthless after all.

"It's an excellent source of vitamin K with one-sixth of a medium head (about six large leaves) containing 25 percent of your daily requirement. Notably, a serving also contains 8 percent of your daily requirement for vitamin A and 6 percent for folate, says Nicholas D. Gillitt, Ph.D., nutrition researcher at Dole Nutrition Institute in California. Although water accounts for more than 95 percent of its weight, iceberg lettuce also contains a moderate amount of fiber and supplies modest amounts of omega-3 fats, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, says Christopher E. Ramsden, M.D., author of Nutrition by the Numbers (Applied Nutritional Biochemistry, 2007). And, of course, it's low in calories."

quote:
When you first said fancy salads I thought you meant like the salad bar at a Ruby Tuesday. I'll go there get a meal with the salad bar, make some amazing salad stacked high with pasta/egg/mozzarella salad tucked almost falling off a corner of those small square plates. The meal comes, I eat, I pay, then go back for more crazy awesome salad (hey, they said all you can eat salad bar!).

I left out Ruby Tuesday. They are the ONLY place left that I know of with a salad bar besides Pizza Hut's poor excuse for a salad bar. Ruby's is expensive but I will go there just for the salad bar.

quote: Bobby Henderson
I like big salads from time to time, but don't like all the twigs and bits of oranges and other odd things that get thrown in from time to time.

I forgot about the mini oranges. [puke]

Why the hell are people putting a citrus fruit on a vegetable salad anyways?! What is wrong with these people?! I used to to not care so much when they ate these ridiculous salads, but since I can no longer get the salad I like at most restaurants, I'm speaking up.

quote: Joe Redifer
I avoid all salads, period. None are worthy or could ever be. I might as well eat air. I suppose women can be allowed to eat salads from time to time, but a man eating a salad is akin to a man holding a purse. Men should eat ONLY things that taste good. And by "taste good" I mean things that taste good to me.

Joe, you never fail to make me laugh. [Big Grin]

I think it stands to reason that if you are eating something for its high content of water then you should be drinking water instead.

Sure it isn't entirely worthless, but compared to something like Romaine it sure is.

Here's a comparison:
Romaine has the same number of Calories as iceberg but it also has:
1) Slightly more protein and fiber
2) 60% more calcium
3) 48% more potassium
4) 653% more vitamin C
5) 300% more folate
6) 262% more vitamin K
7) 898% more beta carotene
8) 7056% more lutein + zeaxanthin

In short: romaine destroys iceberg when it comes to nutrition.

"Fancy Salad" would be a good band name.

I'm just saying...

Nutrition is a nice by product, but I don't really give a rats ass about the nutrition. I want something that tastes good. [Wink]

Fancy Salad WOULD be a great name for a band! [thumbsup]

Sounds a little like a Chuck Norris joke. Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door.
