I got to thinking about the word "salad" and what it means. It was
surprisingly hard to come up with even a halfway good definition Salads can
contain meat, fish, vegetables, or fruit in seemingly endless combinations.
They are usually cold or tepid but can also be warm (German potato salad for
example). Then I thought that the defining characteristic might be a sauce
or dressing that has something sour as an important ingredient - but if I
toss tomatoes with just olive oil, salt, and pepper is that not a salad? So,
I am stumped and thought I would throw this out for discussion.
