Cabbage Conundrum
Okay, so no way am I the Picky Vegetarian, but there are a few culinary things I just don’t get. Like this: I went shopping at the massive grocery store at the far end of Brooklyn today, and thank goodness, they have a place to buy coffee. So I was putting milk and sugar in (the Spouse calls it ruining it, but feh on him), and I glanced over at the little salad bar they have set up.
And saw shredded red cabbage.
Now I have no issue with red cabbage–I actually had some in my cart for an Asian Salad I am planning to make, but I just can’t imagine anyone would want to put red cabbage on your a la carte salad. Why have it there? Who’s gonna pony up $5.99 a pound, or whatever it is, for a salad with red cabbage? Mesclun, sure, artichoke hearts, hell yeah, but red cabbage?
Baffling.

I can’t get my mind around eating from a salad bar in a grocery store, period.
I mean, can you imagine how many people have sneezed and coughed in the general vicinity? Not to mention the disgusting people who use the bathroom and don’t wash at all, let alone properly?

This whole post is messing me up. I’m a lazy slug so I would use the grocery salad bar although I haven’t in a while, but you ladies are making it so darn hard. I like to live in ignorant bliss most times. Life is painful enough now I’m all skeeved. As for the Red cabbage why not have it there? It’s pretty. Isn’t that enough?
