Is this a Massive Salad..?

[DaisyMayBojangles]

I would say not.

Jolly nice though 👍

I’m not big on salad leaves, cucumber etc but I do like a kind of main meal salad with blanched and chilled broccoli, some kind of grain (couscous, pasta etc) feta cheese,
olives and a couple of cherry tomatoes and avocado.

Looks massive to me and also extremely calorific! Pesto and feta have so many calories, kind of negates the benefit of a salad but I’m sure twas delicious.

Only if you think the ‘benefit’ of a salad is that it’s low-calorie?

It’s ok I intend to feast on fresh air sandwiches and the tears of angels over the weekend to atone for my salad-gluttony.
I may give myself a light birching too.

I had one of these in New York a long time ago! It was amazing!!

I think the point was, that salads can contain more calories than you realise, depending what's in them. Pesto is also not particularly healthy in vast heaps.

Also, why are those crisps middle class or poncey?

Gosh that would feed us for a week here OP. I mean we might add a few bits of shredded chicken from the extra-small roast chicken that has fed the four of us for a fortnight now, but it's pretty massive.

Agree Fresh Air sandwiches for the rest of the weekend although you might be allowed a spoonful of seeds and a green tea. I'm off to have my half a square of dark chocolate now - that should satisfy by sweet craving for at least a month.

Sounds heavenly!

I may push the boat out and treat myself to a small bowl of bone soup too

Half a square? Well, I suppose that's understandable if you're obese.

meh , it’s Friday , I was thinking it had elephant leg kebab underneath !

No MN salad is complete without an accompaniment of crusty bread.

A bit of Kewpie Roasted Sesame Dressing instead of pesto and it’d be perfect..

I hate salad and anything other than a garnish is viewed as a massive salad. That’s a massive salad, I’d rather eat pies.

Could you finish it? Did you feel full until your next meal? It looks substantial but to me a 'massive salad' might be home made and in a big giant bowl that a few people served themselves from? Or maybe that it would last one person two or three meals?

I did finish it.. and I’m having fish pie for dinner later too! 😮😮😮

I think a lot of people on this thread need to look into the lore of the Mumnset Massive Salad and the magical never ending roast chicken…

Oh no no, I couldn’t eat all of that!

Surely normal size for a lunch.

I still remember the poster who used to roast a chicken, carve the breast and throw the rest away….

Heathen!

Yep. Tip it out onto a dinner plate and it won't look (wouldn't have looked) as big.

Why ask? Eat what you like.
If you re a healthy weight, don't let anyone shame you, re: your portions.

I mean, it's fine I suppose but I hope you won't be needing to eat again today. How could anyone after eating all that?!

Maybe in a couple of days time you could have some pate, though...

I thought that was a shedload of broccoli as well and though 'I'm not sure I could eat that much raw broccoli in one sitting.'
