Name something you only ever eat from a salad bar.→[More:] 1. Beets. I guess they are pickled and sliced? So, two little slices of beets.
2. (sometimes) - the starch-based fake crab leg product. Can be an excellent vehichle for holding vinegar.
ej, you don't have sneeze guards in England? We are all about the sneeze guards. They are positively prohibitive. Sometimes it's hard to reach the stuff in the back.
Anything whose shape holds comedic potential: crab legs, lobster claws, shrimp, any vegetable with those frilly paper thingees on...
This comes from a lunchtime spent sitting where I could see the buffet, and watch as, every few minutes, some passing nitwit reached into the dish of crawfish, picked one up with his/her bare fingers and shook it in his/her companions' faces, then put it back.
I do not want your fingered shellfish, thanks.
So anything that looks like a nitwit might pick it up and shake it in someone's face, I ain't taking it from a salad bar or buffet.
Chick peas, I like 'em but not enough to buy them for home. One thing I never eat from a salad bar is lettuce. I would rather fill up on other goodies. I don't eat rice or noodles from a chinese buffet for the same reason.
I rarely eat from salad bars anyway because my refrigerator already is a salad bar.
