So LN tells me the other day, that she ate at this great place in Montreal, and that they have quote: the best salad ever!!!!!!!11oneoneoneone
The best SALAD, no less.
Don't get me wrong; Montreal has its famous food: smoked meat, bagels and fine, even poutine. But who would go to Montreal for a SALAD? What makes it so good that it would be worth trekking all the way to Montreal, passing the succulent smells and tastes of Schwartz's and LaFleur, to find an obscure restaurant at the Old Port (which she can't remember exactly, mind you), for some lettuce?
The yummy bearnaise sauce, she explains.
Well, suffice it to say that after many minutes of yelling later, I thought I proved my point. However, she brought it up again recently... and this time, I almost choked on a mouthful of tender BBQ ribs at the sound of her going on and on about her green leafy friends moistened with lime drippings.
This supports my theory that there is a definite hierarchy of food, whereby certain types of food can never supplant other types. For example, a sandwich can only be so good. I don't understand how people can talk about a sandwich like it's a piece of filet mignon... or why anyone would pay $9 for a Subway sandwich for that matter.
I've also known people who claim that they can make a killer sandwich... my question is: why? WHY focus your efforts on wonder bread? There are more important causes such as sauces and cured meats, that a sandwich could only hope to live up to....!!
Damn, I'm hungry now. But I ain't reaching for that lettuce.

oh oh...how about crispy rye bread with grilled vegetables--bright red bell peppers, succulent eggplant, orgasmic zucchini and breezy summer squash, juice-dripping tomatoes, tender onion, completed with drizzle of olive oil and herby sensation.
I don't think I want to know how exactly you make zucchini orgasmic. Certainly not by eating it.
I agree with the salad comment. There are definitely good salads, but not above a certain point. However, I will call you on the sandwich commment. The sandwiches at Clark's near work are incredible...but the chicken sandwiches at this place further down the street...beyond incredible. Sooooo tasty, unlike anything you've had. One bite and you'll be converted.
haha my blog has such clean comments compared to others. I suspect that's why there is one deleted comment.
A good sammich? Get outta here. Can portable food be THAT good?
um...grilled cheese sandwitch...
I feel sorry for myself for being a vegan. I mean, I really hated it when my host started to eat that mouthful of BBQ ribs...ew...so gross!
sigh...I will have to go hungry for days before my human host start eating lettuce again.
yeah, I erased my first comment about the zuchinni. It was originally more raunchy. I could picture Audrey crying at the vulgarity. So I toned it down and consequently it lost all its PUNCH. Why are you guys such pussies?
tony man, these chicken sandwiches..incredible. It's called Serrano.
Check this:

You human host will never quite understand the orgasmic exudation by the zucchini bits. HUMAN HOST MUST DIE!
(zucchini should only go where it should go)
Bring me this sammich, and I shall pass judgment.
I've read up that tapeworms consist of the following body parts: "a head (scolex), where the worms attach to the mucosa of the intestine; a neck; and a segmented body that contains both male gonads and female gonads (proglottids)." This leads me to wonder with parts of your body are you typing with...
Oh! I am so offended! In our tapeworm world, it's very rude and inappropriate to ask another worm how one perform the typing task. It's a very private matter. We don't even speak of the "G*" word! **GASP**
