Yes. Euros travelled the globe trading for spices and decided they didn't like them once the lower class had access to them.
It's all about appreciating those subtle flavors to show how refined your palate is.

Keep coping Eurofag. What's wrong with a little bit of oil or vinegar mixed with salt and pepper?

Every salad (with a few exceptions like vinegret) is drowned in mayonnaise around here.

I'm always amazed at just how high they can get the calorie counts on dressings in restaurants around here. plus they tend to load salads up with cheese which is something I find a bit off putting.

you can buy that salad premade at walmart. it comes with a side of poppy seed dressing. it doesn't have raw onions though. oh just noticed those are pomegranete and not dried cranberries. oh well.
