Toni – First off, liver…Blech! Well the next time I’m in California (probably next year) I’ll make sure to stop at one of the Mimi’s Cafes.

Marvo- Mimi’s Cafe rocks! They give you ginormous portions of food for very reasonable prices. I especially LURVE their liver and onions, since you can get your extra toppings of stuff like bacon and mushrooms. Oh, and their carrot bread that they give for free to snack on is TO DIE FOR.

kimdog – Nice to know that I’m not the only melon hater out there.

kimdog – I love watermelon, honeydew, and canteloupe, but I think these fruits taste better during certain seasons, and I haven’t found a place that sells good fruit salad with these fruits. Besides it’s more fun to buy the melons from the store, cut them in half and use a spoon to eat them. Maybe sprinkle a little sugar. That’s good stuff.

See… I love this salad. I love it because I am anti-melon, and nearly every other fruit salad in the world comes with unholy watermelon or ass nasty honeydew or gacktastic canteloupe. It’s sort of fun to eat too, cause I love dipping things into stuff.

Justina – I haven’t tried JITB salad yet, but I will in about 30 minutes.

Have you tried any of the salads from Jack-in-the-Box? They are pretty good…expensive, but good!

Editrix – I definitely don’t think there was any beef extract added in for flavor, because there wasn’t much flavor in the yogurt.

Something about the yogurt dip skeeved me out — not so much that it was yogurt, but that it was yogurt from McDonald’s. Like maybe they slipped from some beef extract (http://www.commondreams.org/headlines01/0504-02.htm) in there for flavor.

BPyser1 – According to the McDonald’s website, the Fruit & Walnut Salad has no trans fats. But then again, it could be a conspiracy by them.

Lol the walnuts are probably coated with some mixture of margarine (partially hydrogenated) and sugar. I know McDonald’s need to make most of their food full of trans fats :D.

Priss – Sorry about that. Maybe you could find some canned lychee there. Although it will probably cost you a pretty penny.

wired – If by catastrophic, you mean, I spent a lot of time on the toilet for the next few days, then yeah, it was catastrophic.

gko – Hmm…Very interesting idea. I think I shall try it.

catmz – I would’ve tried non-fast food salads, but they’re too healthy.

Webmiztris – Sorry, but you might find them at your local asian grocery foods store…Oh wait, you probably don’t have one of those in bumfuck either.

You have a point about the salad not being huge. Nothing is ever even meal sized. Remember the salad shaker? Some leaves of lettuce and slivers of cheese in a cup? No way!

I think your reviewing fast food salads is a great idea. I’d like to try them but with the weird ideas these places get I’m always wary. For example, the hot meat/cold greens fad. Luckily this does not turn out too bad for my McDonalds never heats up the chicken enough to wilt the greens.

re:Chicken McNuggets Salad

Why not make one from the dollar menu? 2 side salads + chicken sandwich, and buy some mustard sauce (they sell those things for a quarter each I think?) AND you’ll have a mayo-sandwich on the side!!

hmm… Double Cheeseburger Salad…
