What? lettuce is not part of the traditional greek salad recipe.
- sdcfgy 20d agoExactly. It's a travesty that people are putting lettuce in Greek salad.
- jonathanstrange 20d agoTechnically speaking, you cannot put lettuce in a Greek salad because it will by definition cease to be a Greek salad once lettuce has been added. Edit: Wait a moment. You can put lettuce i a Greek salad. It just happens not to be a Greek salad afterwards. A subtle difference.
- sdcfgy 20d agoSalad of Theseus?
- inigyou 19d agoThat would still be Greek
- tacomagick 20d agoReminds me of the chefs that take a base soup and just change/add a single ingredient to make bunch of other soups just to fill their food schedule quotas for the month since they cannot serve the same soup every day.
- stockresearcher 20d agoYeah, North American chefs will generally call the base a mirepoix, but it’s got different names in different languages. It turns out that this soup base concept is remarkably similar across cultures and continents (though the actual vegetables used are based on what’s grown locally).
- JumpCrisscross 18d ago> North American chefs will generally call the base a mirepoix, but it’s got different names in different languages Mirepoix is a French-origin fragrant soup base. It’s more correct to say that most cultures have a default fragrant base (holy trinity, sofrito, soffrito, zazharka, Cantonese base, South Asian base, et cetera).
