"Soychovies" - the word alone makes my stomach turn.

Chicken caesar salad is pretty tasty. I never knew it had anchovies in the dressing. Also jbr is right, WALDORF SALAD SUX.

Anchovies on Caesar salad (hell, anchovies on *anything*) are a travesty. What's also a travesty is those restaurants that will serve you a plate of lettuce with some slices of parmesan and a few croutons on it and call it a Caesar salad. Don't give me sliced parmesan - grate that shit! And put some dressing on it for God's sake, Caesar salad wasn't meant to be healthy.

Attention restaurant owners- This is NOT a Caesar salad:

I kind of secretly admire people who eat anchovies - like I secretly admire anyone who eats gefilte fish or gravlax or other fishy stuff that I'm too squeamish to eat.

I don;t like ceasar salad, but I have never been offered it without anchovies, which sounds rather lovely.

I could eat caesar every day for the rest of my life and die happy. Best caesar salad ever was at this Argentinian place in Mexico..waiters made the dressing and salad at the table. Total tastebud orgasm!

I made myself forget that there are anchovies in Caesar dressing...Thanks for reminding me.

50% of people who don't like caesar salad are unable to spell it. FACT!

WE ARE THE EGG POLICE

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 14 March 2006 23:34 (eighteen years ago) link

i assume you mean in restaurants, AaronK!!

Classic! I like a few anchovies on top, actually, but then again I guess we've already established that I sometimes enjoy salty things. There's something about the slight tartness of the dressing and the coolness and wateriness of the lettuce that sets a really good backdrop for the taste of anchovies. (Ha: that makes me think maybe anchovies and celery would be a really great snack combination!)

So classic that you can see how someone might get the false impression that it's a dud. Indeed, you could almost forgive that person, even though they're wrong.

Waldorf salad = classic up until age 12 or so, then dud-ish. I always thought it was so sophisticated (and I didn't even know about the Waldorf-Astoria connection, just the fact of eating a "salad" with walnuts and apples in it sent me over).

Caesar = classic, though frequently appears in dud versions, as noted above. Adding chicken is not original, I believe, but that's a classic update, makes it a meal.

On Caesar salad? I've never heard of such a thing.

― o. nate (onate), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 01:45 (eighteen years ago) link

oh crap - don't tell me it's a Canadian thing?

― Kim (Kim), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 01:51 (eighteen years ago) link

CLASSIC. It's my favorite salad, which I know makes me not very interesting and not very daring in my tastes, but still. It's a fucking Caesar salad.
