Imo a massive salad includes all the salady bits. So beetroot, cucumber, tomatoes, peppers, radishes, etc. But all of those things in one go are a bit out of my budget these days 😂

Thesunnymood · 02/06/2023 12:26

I have bigger😂

Imho we should put this to bed once and for all and agree on how many grams massive salad is.

SausageRoll2020 · 02/06/2023 12:28

The size of the salad is fine but you are being highly unreasonable by adding mushrooms 😂

liveforsummer · 02/06/2023 12:29

Definitely not massive - you will starve 😆

NowZeusHasLainWithLeda · 02/06/2023 12:29

No because it's got carbs. A MN massive salad is just leaves and roots and twiggy shit. Not potato salad and mayo and eggs. That's a good shop for a fortnight.

MassiveSalad22 · 02/06/2023 12:29

As a massive salad myself, yes, it’s like looking in a mirror

nebulae · 02/06/2023 12:29

Oh goody, another food thread. Not long now until someone comes along to tell us they couldn't possibly eat two eggs in one sitting.

GalileoHumpkins · 02/06/2023 12:29

There's enough hard boiled egg there to feed a family of four. I can't believe you're even thinking about eating such an unnecessary amount of food.

MerryChristmasToYou · 02/06/2023 12:31

No. You need to remove the brown and beige bits and replace with lettuce, cress, grated carrot and radish.

Izzabird · 02/06/2023 12:31

It doesn't look that salady, or are there lots of leaves etc hiding under the eggs etc?

@MassiveSalad22 🤣🤣🤣

Doggymummar · 02/06/2023 12:31

Presumably on a buffet for 10 to share? Looks reasonable not massive

Freepo · 02/06/2023 12:31

No it’s quite small by my standards! But mine only have greens and peppers etc, maybe some chicken, not eggs and humous etc.

it looks lovely, enjoy!

Summertimesunshineandfizz · 02/06/2023 12:31

Mushrooms have no place in a salad! I make salads out of everything but never fungi. I would say yours is large but not massive. Pile it up a bit (but no more mushrooms) and add a bit more colour variation and crunch and you’ll be getting there

Flavabobble · 02/06/2023 12:32

It's all relative.
Is that a teaspoon or tablespoon?
Are those ostrich eggs or quail eggs?

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 02/06/2023 12:33

Needs a 50p piece in picture for scale. Looks nice!

CoreyTaylorsSoggyTshirt · 02/06/2023 12:33

You need to put a trigger warning on this thread.

Mushrooms in a salad is offensive.

You'll have seen the thread about the two tins of tuna, that turned out to be really tiny ones, along with a tablespoon of mayonnaise and a single plain cracker, that the OP was told was enough for a family for 4 at least.

ChiChaNaYubi · 02/06/2023 12:33

Lots of leave under the eggs!

Salad contains :

Mixed leaves
red peppers
tomatoes
cucumber
mangetout
celery
garlic mushrooms
new potato in lemon mayo
hummus
chicken
egg

I'd say it's a borderline salad

Bet twiggy shit has cards.

Think roots do too.

So to be safe, stick to leaves

ComtesseDeSpair · 02/06/2023 12:34

Is that chicken next to the mushrooms? I always feel weird about eating chickens and eggs at the same time. It seems ghoulish somehow.

Emmamoo89 · 02/06/2023 12:35

You will definitely starve 🤣🤣

I like bigger than that!

Summerishereagain · 02/06/2023 12:36

And and UPFs. It’s definitely not an MN salad.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 02/06/2023 12:36

Looks to me like lots of leaves and possibly tomatoes/peppers underneath, with dollops of hummus and potato salad on top, a generous scoop of fried mushrooms and two only just hard-boiled eggs (i.e. yolks still a bit runny).
