If I'm correct, the maldive fishes look like this.
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.
 
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.

Add some freshly ground black pepper, and I'd go for that. (y)

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.
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 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.
 
My mom use to make ( and still does) what she calls her " Super Salad". Sala basics lettuce, tomato, cucumber.. She would then add marinated artichoke hearts, marinated mushrooms, black olives and cut up baby corn ( the kind you get in Chinese food). Unless serving immediately, she would always put the wet, marinated stuff in first m then the basic salad on top, for two reasons. One, so the lettuce didnt get soggy, Second, and more importantly, so my brother and I didnt sneak to where ever she was hiding its and steal all the good stuff before it was being served. She still hides it, and we still look for it and pick out all the good stuff. She would dress it with Good Seasons dressing.

I personally like chopped salad , cause I eat almost everything with a soup spoon, and that makes it easier . ( Yeah, I know Im strange).
 
tonight is Cobb Salad.
got a head start on the fixings . . .

This thread reminds me that I have to make a Thai beef salad again. It's been a while
 
No
I like larb as well. Like it very much, and need to make it again ss well.
But I meant something like described here (I was going to post a picture of one of my creations, but can't find any)

Oh and som tam, gotta make it as well, my pawpaw's are slmost big enough so no excuse :)
 
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. 🤓
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.

Uhhh, I have no idea which is more traditional. My mom always did chicken. 😂

So if turkey is more traditional, my mom never did it. Hawhaw!
 
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 . . . .
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.)

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.

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.

Ooohhhh. Like sources for a thesis/research paper! I forgot those existed on the bottom of internet pages. Go. . .home learning? (Insert buck-toothed hillbilly here).
