Hmm. I've lived in two very different countries and always had salad on the side of... Everything.

It's interesting to find that it's not done there. In which situations do you eat salad?

this is tangential to the general thread of salad and weird food culture, so i'm just going to leave it as a reply to your comment.

I grew up in the south in the USA. I'm, therefore, southern. Ergo, I grew up with southern cuisine.

Fast forward to my mid thirties. I now live in France. I invited some of my non-southern and non-american friends over for a thanksgiving dinner one year. I served fruit salad, as one does, on the side of dinner. Apparently that's weird. Nobody else eats fruit salad as a dinner side except southerners, apparently. Also, the non-americans were weirded out by eating cranberry sauce on the bird.

The famous ikea swedish meatballs come with lingonberry marmelade on the meat, so it's not unheard of

I think meatballs without lingonsås are not worth it. :) In our local IKEA there's even a dispenser so you can get as much as you want.

Dude salad and fruit salad are completely different things

That's just like your opinion, man.

I read that in the voice of the hippie from that 70s show. I hope it's close to yours, kind stranger.

Close enough, it's actually a quote from another hippie from the film "the big Lebowski"
