Of Salad Showdown

I have to self a salad showdown on house. Persons say on popular culture, “Kid have to had salad on kid time”, because it makes good to growing on adult – the vitamins and colorfull colours. But, I speak of popular culture – its what flys in mouth to mouth everywhere – kids don’t like no salad. I have sure I have been a kid in that years behind, and I have sure I have also delighted salad when I was a kid. I ask you people: do you liked salad as in kid time?

So I went to adult now, or to young man, i.e., teen, and continue to like salad. Don’t worry, folks, I am not starting to say you to become vegetarian, because I am long from vegetarianism myself (favourite foods includes meat in many ways), but as admiror of Teen Food and having being in general no good on kitchening, I offer now fresh solution for the teen today.

If you live in house with garden, I envy you, because step one to you become culturing your own vegetables! But if you are urban livers of buildings like myself, you have to hope to find all your salad-to-be in your street fair (Here there’s plenty of them – what about there?) or supermarket.

Vegetable reign is sympathetic in many ways: funny shapes, colours of rainbow, tastes to sweet and bitter, different textures... all tastes pleased. I will tell you my personal favourites: tomato, lettuce, carrot (but have in head – you must grate it, like thin chops of Wood or cheese; otherwise, it is hard and the olive oil do not pour so nicely in between), the palmtree inner parts (we call it ‘palmito’, eventough it is now prohibited for being no ecology), cucumber and rocket, that bitter marvel that many kids dislike when kid.

So you just wash everyone and cut as you like, it is very practical. Having that done, I suggest a nice bowl or superbowl, so everyone can have salad. Disposition of everything, that is, presentation, is usually very important, to yourself or to others. So have that done, put some salt and olive oil! You can bring some others reigns food, for instant, you can take pistaccio for a more various taste.

Have you a go on salad, I hope you have enjoyed!.

  1. it seems to me that in the popular knowledge there is nothing so far from teen food than salad! but i do agree with you.

    i think the main point of the crossover between salad and teen food is the freshness. since i find myself an ex-child, i try to have some plantation at home, although being an urban guy like you. my experience tells me that it is very well possible to have tomatoes growing at home into vases, as well as mint or basil.

    something i tried last week and get almost suceeded was baked beta. one covers it with seasalt and bakes it for long time, like 1 hour. after that you may peel the baked beta and be happy for ever, only for the rhyme :)

  2. all this made me think of Katamari - those colourful colours and textures and flavours all rolled up in a huge delicious ball!

    i say, i eat my salad from times to times (but confess, i'm too lazy for the washing part). other thing i dislike is the salt and vinegar and olive oil on it - not because i dislike them, i actually love olive oil too much!!, but because my salad i eat with the hands and greasy hands are unhapyy.

    since kid i eat salad with bare hands, so i learned to like the salad the taste it comes, raw and natural and oh-so-fresh! i'm a bit savage for i love to stash a whole mount of leafes and tomatoes and throw them in mouth all at once (like a katamari!!) - it makes me feel like a true triceratops.

    there are, of course, the exceptions like the sweet pepper salad - wich is greatly seen in barbecues, made with rosted sweet pepper peeled and sliced and abundantly seasoned with olive oil and oregane! i hated sweet pepper when a kid, but now i've learned to love it and it is mostly great - sweet and soft and oh-so-colorful!!!

  3. Have us a nature son here! (i mean you, Henrique he he)

    I say, your style eating salad was already forgotten by me, but I may give a try on it ths next few days or weeks. I feel compelled only to say how pity it is that, albeit you may eat your fresh salad oiless and saltless, it is altogether still with all poisons and agropoisons peoples putting to stop bugs :(.
    Sometime I feel I prefer to ocasional find a bug on lettuce than to eat this terrible poison they put around...

    i may find myself a space or too for growing my own vegetable here. I hope to grow some tea-plants, too, for I am the Most Fond of tea...
