People like to order french fries because it’s an easy no-brainer snack food. You can easily pick up a french fry and eat it. You don’t have to look at it or set anything back down.
Eating a salad with a fork isn’t as easy. You have to watch your fork spear the lettuce. You have to set your fork down to take a break.
Solution: Just eat the salad with your hands. It’s just like eating fries–an easy mindless snack.
As I tend to dip my salad bites into the dressing rather than pouring it all over the top and mixing it in, I can see how this could work for me: mimimal mess, and really no messier than picking up a greasy/salty fry and dipping it in whatever one happens to dip his/her french fry in. Personally, I like mayonnaise on my fries … oh wait, we’re trying to replace fries with salad. Sorry.
salad has so many uneven/inconsistent pieces. if only they could compress it into regular shapes, like they do with fries. like maybe they could breed a certain type of “finger lettuce” with finger-sized leaves that would be easily dipped in dressing.
hmm, yes laura. You point out a flaw in this strategy. The uneven/inconsistent pieces. But FINGER LETTUCE. BRILLIANT! LOOK OUT FRIES. YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED!
i want a salad with french fries in it. that sounds yummy.
you yourself bought some fries today, spudart. so… apparently the days of fries are not so numbered.
I made fries on Thursday. They were good. Not once did I wish I was eating a salad
i ate a whole pint of Fossil Fuel yesterday. that was after eating a salad.
salads suck! long live fries!
contradicting your own post?
yeah, it’s fun. actually, i’m still behind salads. Fries are a nice occasional treat, but salads should become the standard side-order.
