Also, at no time did I harbor the slightest suspicion that it could possibly be listed in the "healthy" column. Just sayin'.

It's cake- eat it. I'm with Erikka: Heath Blizzard all the way. Those people need to learn to just enjoy cake and not question its provenance. It’s cake- eat it.

Wait. We already have restaurants serving three-pound salads piled with ham and deep-fried, breaded chicken, and cheese. No worries; you didn't start it. Also, for some reason the idea of mint mixing with my cheesecake doesn't appeal to me. Now, a Tagalong cheesecake... THAT I could get behind! :-) I’m actually a little concerned that someone might run with this idea and we’ll have an entire country of already overweight and clueless people thinking cheesecake is good for them because it’s called a salad.

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 21:03:21 +0000 http://dailytannenbaum.wordpress.com/?p=990#comment-5279 Your post made me thinkg of the etymology of the word salad to see if it could be made from fat. And the answer is - strangely - kinda sorta but not exactly. Salad derives from the vulgar Latin for salt given that salt is an important ingredient of salad dressing (or something like that). So did your cheesecake have salt? And then there is the expression "salad days" which refers to a youthful time and was coined by Shakespeare, but I think that refers back to a bunch of leaves given that it is Cleopatra is talking about her "salad days", back when she was "green in judgement" And all of that is completely useless, but I'm at working waiting for 4 people to greenlight something and I'm kinda stuck until they do. So at least I am learning something in the interim. Your post made me thinkg of the etymology of the word salad to see if it could be made from fat.
