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!

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

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.

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.
