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)


Hawaii is known for it's plate lunches; meat in some way, 2 scoops rice and
a scoop of potato mac salad. Potato Mac? your asking? Yep, it's potatoes,
macaroni, carrots, sometimes peas, mustard and all the mayo that you can
stand. Nasty stuff, but everyone makes it. Personally, I can't stomach all
the mayo.
