I recently brought my standard Midwestern potato salad* to a party,
and you would have thought I brought some weird, exotic dish. More
than one person said "What is THAT!?!" a couple said "Is that potato
salad?" and another said - "Oooh...fancy potato salad!" What's up
with that? Do most people not put veggies in their potato salad or
something? Do West coasters make potato salad differently? I can
only imagine the commentary, had I made my Mediterranean-style potato
salad.

What is your standard version of potato salad?...You know - your ole
"stand-by"?

*(potatoes, celery, green onions, carrots, red, yellow and green
peppers, Miracle Whip (yeah, I know), yellow mustard, garlic powder,
celery seed and black pepper)

I was with you until we got to the carrots. And I'd only three colors
of peppers if they were already in the fridge. Otherwise, it looks
pretty 'regular' to me. Where are the hard-cooked eggs? And I don't
use Miracle Whip; I use mayo. You need different friends. "-)
