Now I am fairly certain that many foodies lap up this pigslop ardently. None-the-less I have a food complaint. It has to do with Greek Salad. Now, the Greeks were some folks that lived down south and wrote a bunch of crazy books, but however, invented this really cool salad, that should be, by my ken, composed of four fundamental ingredients, lavished upon such ingredients should be an oily lubricant to assist in consumption and digestion of said salad. Said salad should be composed of equal parts tomahto, cucumber, green pepper, and (prefereably) red onion. These components should be dashed together and mixed well so as to equidistance each substance from the other. Thereafter one should prepare a dressing to ladle upon said salad. Such dressing should be composed of 80% cold pressed olive oil and 20 % 9p (balsamic) vinegar. Plus lemon juice, a shitload of chopped up garlic, and other miscelaneous stuff like salt and pepper and yadayadayada. Which throws my proportions all to shit, but anyways.
Ya git the drift right?
Now upon this vegetable mixture should be doused the salald dressing as well as a large honking chunk (or chunks) of feta cheese. Also should be added about 10-15 calamata black olives. This is known as a Greek salad. When I go to Shanghai, to a so advertised Greek Restuarant and order a Greek Salad for 100 kuai and get a bowl of chopped up iceberg lettuce with a slice of tomato and two shavings of feta cheese I am not impressed. Let me state unequivicably, there is no fucking lettuce in Greek Salad!
I forgot to say virgin, as respects the olive oil. Otherwise I ain't too picky.
