Pizza is health food. Nobody will change my mind on that.

Ain't no real pizza in Wyoming.

Tell me you've never been to Jackson without telling me you've never been to Jackson.

(BTW if anybody here ever ends up in Pinedale... hit up Old Stones)

Tomatoes are fruits, but I'll give it to ya.

Knowledge is knowing that tomatoes are fruits.

Wisdom is to not put tomatoes in a fruit salad.

Eating a piece of pizza does not just make your insides swell up like a balloon.

Unless you have lactose intolerance

And you don't make friends with salad

Aaah, i see we're back to pizza talk after a very long time. This makes me happy

Have you had pizza with chipotle dipping sauce?

Potato salad and/or coleslaw are winners in my book, especially when combined with a nice steak or roast meat.

Not all macaroni salads are good, but a good macaroni salad is the best salad.

Honorable mentions: Potato salad, greek salad, caesar salad

What do you mean "or"? Of course there is mayo. Lots of mayo*.




* with extra mayo.

Eating a piece of pizza does not just make your insides swell up like a balloon. It ain't good for you for obvious reasons, but the nutritionist IIRC was implying that it was hampering players' recovery from bumps and bruises. And if you think that's legit I don't know what to tell you. The nutritionist likely knows the right foods to eat from wrong, but that's him delving into areas of expertise he doesn't possess.

I'm not going to go in a long schpeel here on the effect of industrialized foods on our bodies but I definitely agree with the nutritionist. Outright banning players from eating pizza is too far, but it definitely can affect people's bodies in that way. Diet is a very individual thing, but I can tell you that I have a few inflammation issues that almost entirely clear up when I cut out bread and dairy out of my diet. Moreover, now when I do allow myself to enjoy some pizza those symptoms flair up quickly. Very worth it though, pizza is by far the hardest thing to give up.

GMs should definitely be educating players on these things but not controlling them. It will also be easier to pick out the 'bad apples' and change the culture. A huge reason Big Z is still playing is because he's switched to a plant based diet. I'd recommend watching The Game Changers for anyone interested in this stuff

I don't know about best, but that's a good choice too. Anything with cheese is a great salad, be it mozzarella (caprese mmmm), or feta, or blue cheese if you want to live dangerously.

Not a salad, but on the cheese train. Burrata....

Eh. Lots of mayo is the number 1 way that people ruin potato salad. But you enjoy.

 

[John Mandalorian]

Seafood salad: yay or nay?

Agreed...and I like mayo.

Same with egg salad, chicken salad and macaroni salad. Too much mayo and it becomes too wet. Not good.

For potato salad, I prefer it with vinegar (cold and no bacon). But if I'm doing it with mayo, I'm using mayo judiciously and I also might put in olive juice or a little bit of horse radish - garlic occasionally too.

 

[EscapedGoat]

If tomatoes are a fruit, then is ketchup jam/jelly?

I said that kinda tongue in cheek. Obviously the key to a good salad is the right balance of ingredients.

As for seafood salad, have you tried the Swedish skagenröra? It's one of Sweden's national treasures.

I think you guys should move this conversation to the Injury thread.

Injuries aren't a vegetable, salad, or a cheese though?

Yeah but those grapefruits on EJ's body after blocking all those shots every game are fruits.

When I was in Jönköping I had it.
