Yes it's tuna. They gut it, and then squeeze all the liquid out, and dry.Dried tuna? similar to Japanese Bonito flakes? Or dried anchovy's?

But that's the shape you should never use in cooking. Unfortunately it's crushed like that and packed by whole salers who sell in small packets. Instead you should buy the whole fish and shave off what you want, and store the fish in a dry place.If I'm correct, the maldive fishes look like this.
My go to dressing is 2 parts good vinegar (usually balsamic or sherry) to 3 parts good olive oil. With a clove or two of crushed garlic, some Dijon mustard, soy sauce and sugar.
I didn't know that was the same thing!So she is using dried tuna. aka Bonito flakes. Used to make Dashi
Homemade croutons are the best, I agree. You can add whatever seasonings or spices you want and they're so good. I usually just make them out of the heels of bread loaves that never get eaten.I agree. I honestly kinda hate restaurant croutons, cause they're ALWAYS so hard and impossible to chew. Also like a 2 in square. Love the homemade ones though, as then I can control the texture and make em (pleasantly) crunchy.
I made Toasties with bread I bought then froze the ends only to later take out a bag full of like 30 ends and made wonderful croutons for the salad kick we're on.Homemade croutons are the best, I agree.

Not so strange, have a friend who fine chops everything for her salads so much you HAVE to use a spoon to eat it.cause I eat almost everything with a soup spoon, and that makes it easier . ( Yeah, I know Im strange).
Ham and . . .?turkey? do I see? Or be it chicken? I assume chicken as it's more traditional, but who cares about traditional when you're an excellent cook.
Like larb?This thread reminds me that I have to make a Thai beef salad again. It's been a while
I thought turkey was the 'more traditional' . . . ??Ham and . . .?turkey? do I see? Or be it chicken? I assume chicken as it's more traditional, but who cares about traditional when you're an excellent cook.![]()
Uhhh, I have no idea which is more traditional. My mom always did chicken.I thought turkey was the 'more traditional' . . . ??
but it's ham and chicken, because I am not fond of deli turkey (g).
I've been looking . . . long time... for some proper size oval plates to make the 'long&well decorated' format. right now we just use the everyday round dinner plates.
Is wikipedia actually a . . . Uh. . . Legitimate source? I usually use it as an automatic go to in food, but I'm unsure if it's that. . . Reliable? (I guess, as it can be edited by anyone.)well, surprise . . .
the origins of the "Cobb salad" are more better "known" than many dishes -
just checked and indeed the "original" per whackiepedia....
[salad greens (authentically romaine lettuce),[1] tomato, bacon, chicken breast, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, chives, blue cheese (often Roquefort; some versions use other cheeses such as cheddar or Monterey Jack, or no cheese]
not sure where I picked up 'turkey' as . . . .
There are usually links to sources on Wikipedia. You can check the sources and see how well you trust them. You can also check if you agree with how the author(s) on Wikipedia interpreted the source material. So, while Wikipedia is available to be edited by pretty much anyone, you do have ways to check the accuracy.Is wikipedia actually a . . . Uh. . . Legitimate source?

Not to hate on Wikipedia. I use it for pretty much everything to do with looking up types of food. That, cookbooks, some internet, and this forum!
I do hope it's accurate though.. Or else like 25% of my cooking knowledge is gonna be bust.
Ooohhhh. Like sources for a thesis/research paper! I forgot those existed on the bottom of internet pages. Go. . .home learning?
