If this and egg mayo are considered salads in shartmerica then does that mean a slice of bread with mayo is a salad too?

Idk. Sounds like tuna and Mayo to me.

>>17676731
If the bread was torn up and mixed in the mayo, yes. Nobody would like it, though.

>>17676737
So is a bowl of cereal a salad?
Or does it only work with mayo?

It doesn't work with milk, but you could use whipped cream instead and then yes.

>>17676724
A salad is just an uncooked soup stupid amerimutt

The technical term is "bound salad"
It's basically any food mixed together and bound by mayo.
See also: chicken salad, egg salad, potato salad, macaroni salad.

>>17677383
Why mayo?
Why no other sauce?
It seems totally arbitrary.
Macaroni Cheese should be considered a salad as it's pasta bound with a sauce.

>>17676724
>>17676731
salad or slaw is also used as a term for ingredients mixed into a medium, such as fruit salad (any type of fruit mixed into yogurt), cole slaw (cabbage, mayonnaise, vinegar, occasionally onions and apples), chicken salad (roast chicken, nuts, grapes and/or apples, mayonnaise, celery, green onions, mustard), or tuna salad (tuna, mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, lemon juice) but also includes single-ingredient variations (grape salad being grapes in yogurt, cole slaw being cabbage in mayonnaise, tuna salad being tuna in mayonnaise.) Language do be funky in dat way.

bound salads are popular in the summer, at picnics or bbqs, and are often served cold

>>17677389
it's a matter of consistency, yogurt (greek yogurt primarily) also works as a medium, as does cream, or even sour cream. Macaroni & cheese wouldn't be considered it because it's too liquidy generally, but you can in fact make macaroni salad out of mac & cheese by thickening it with some sort of medium.

So why isn't a bowl of cereal a salad?

>>17677396
100% retarded post.

>>17677400
because it's a soup

>>17677400
Because it's in a liquid instead of a thicker medium.

You're the one complaining about how language works despite not understanding the basics of connotation.

>>17677409
So is a Martini a soup if it includes an olive garnish?

>>17677412
>You're the one complaining about how language works despite not understanding the basics of connotation.
That's a completely nonsensical comment typical of reddit pseuds.
I haven't 'complained' about anything.
I am trying to ascertain the boundaries of what is and what isn't a salad.
So far nobody will acknowledge that it's completely arbitrary.

>>17677419
you would need at least 5 or so olives

>>17677427
It is arbitrary and you're too autistic to understand that almost all definitions of words are based on arbitrary boundaries, hence "connotation" (look it up next time, doofus.)

>>17677443
So can you explain why isn't a Mint Julep a salad?
Hardmode : No buzzwords

>>17677451
Because it's a drink and not a salad. Nobody would expect something that you drink to be called a salad, because peoples' expectations are what define (more specifically 'connotate') words. In case you haven't noticed, in day to day life, you often hear people refer to something as one thing and someone might reply "You'd call it a [blank 1]? I'd say it's a [blank 2]" like how some might call tuna salad a salad and others might say it's not.

>>17677460
>A salad is a dish consisting of mixed, mostly natural ingredients with at least one raw ingredient.
How does a Mint Julep not fit this description?

If you order a Mint Julep and eat the mint leaves with a fork it is by definition a salad.

>>17677463
Because, as I've stated twice now, definitions of the vast majority of words in any language are based on the expectations of the speakers and not on a concrete list of objective values. The only words that do not fit this criteria are artificially selected, in fact, and previously either did not exist or were altered in meaning to specifically have their definition narrowed to a scientific level of detail.

This is your third, obvious declaration that explains your initial prompt and you will receive none further. Stop being a faggot. You're not funny.
