Salad doesn’t mean vegetables. Salad is a dish made of a mixture of discrete pieces. See other things like potato salad, macaroni salad, tuna salad, antipasto salad, caprese salad, etc. You’re going to have a lot of food hangups if this bothers you.
Oh, I know what salad means. The gelatine part is what bothers me deeply, especially if in conjunction with cream cheese. Who in their right mind comes up with something like that? 😅
The Brits really did what they could to deserve sayings like the one about how their food, women and weather were the reasons why they became such a great seafaring nation.
Would you put whipped cream on jello/jelly? That’s also dairy and features heavily in dessert. Cream cheese is used to make some icing, cheese cake is basically a brick of sweetened cream cheese. So cream cheese also shows up in desserts.
So the person who came up with it was just familiar with how desserts work.
Thanks for the description, I hate it just as much as the order of the panels in the picture.
Very few would include all of the things listed above and I’ve never actually seen veggies in one.
The one my family makes is just a dessert that’s primarily jello with a thin layer of cream cheese and pretzels. Has a nice combo of salty and sweet.
Not sure why people are so grossed out by that, what’s wrong with it?
Gelatine and calling it a salad, that’s what. At least for me.

I mean… the Brits invented “mushy peas”

Right? It is like someone anticipated the “random bullshit go” meme in the 1920s while on drugs, and just went to the kitchen and created that.
I feel the rest of the world is not making enough fun of american cuisine yet. There is still need for more.
