Have finally completed my two tags:

South African Bobotie #368252 (although the front page has a typo because it comes up as #385552?) by Jezagerm







Souped up Lentils #211542 by Leggy Peggy




I followed the thread and have this to say about salads. There are salads and there are SALADS! I grew up with a small salad (lettuce, tomato, croutons) after dinner, which seemed normal to me in Ohio with Finnish-American parents. When I moved to California for college and stayed, a small salad (lettuce, tomato, croutons at a minimum) preceded 95% of dinners). It was weird if no salad was served. My turn to make salad was to make SALAD -- every salad veggie I could get my hands on in addition to the lettuce/tomato and in addition beans, eggs, bacon, etc.I didn't make SALAD very often as it is a lot of work! I could pass on the salad.

While this is my favorite tag game, I am taking a break from tagging because I found myself for the first time on the RESTRICTED list in another tag game. I'm taking this as a SIGN! I have one more late tag to do and then no more while I de-stress myself. I plan to follow you folks, though. So, happy cooking!!!

Must say, when I saw this title when you tagged it, I wondered ... We have 11 languages spoken in South Africa (which includes Afrikaans and English) and those words mean nothing to me, and is not a South African language!

When l looked at the recipe, I'd say it was more a recipe from, probably, a West African country, or even central Africa. Definitely not trad. S A. No matter, it sounds great! Just puzzles me.

I wondered, too. I know the word kalya to be a Sanskrit word meaning healthy. Looks more like some kind of Indo-Iranian language to me than African.
I consider this a healthy dish, and it was really very tasty

I am always amazed at the popularity of Tag games!! They take time and effort! I hesitate to commit to Tag games ... will soon find myself on the Restricted list!!!

Salads: In Europe, especially France, the habit is to serve a salad after the main course. In Switzerland, (the German part at least) they serve the salad before the main course.

I agree -- a "salad" can be so many things!! Recently we had masses of our own ripe tomatoes, so sweet and delicious that I made either only sliced tomato slices with a little onion, or the usual lettuce-and-tomato.

But as soon as I have to buy toms. again, I add various lettuces and other raw veggies -- whatever will be suitable. DH eats his salad as a starter, and I like mine on a separate plate but with my food!

i always had the iceberg/tomato/cucumber maybe some green pepper or carrot added salad growing up. my MIL made a tomato/onion/olive oil/SALT salad that was to die for. It's still a favorite of mine & soo simple. I love the flavor the onions give the tomatoes & i DRINK the juice. NOW, I make & enjoy so many salads with so many different greens & other vegetables. Had red/yellow/orange peppers been invented in the 70's??

Sounds lovely, we love salads as well! I can only remember the red and green capsicums (bell peppers) years ago.... but then I can go back to the late 50's in the States!

Wow, just like me! We had an enormous veg garden when I grew up, and my dad was wonderful with vegetables. Mom used to make the simplest of tomato salads when it was tomato season, much as you describe: sliced, lightly salted, some thin onion rings, and just a wisp of a dressing with grape vinegar and sugar, no oil!

My sister and I used to fight over who gets to drink the juices at the bottom of the salad bowl after meals!!

And I only "met" green peppers in the late 60's, before marriage, at the house of my in-laws. I detested the taste at first -- then slowly got used to it.

But you're right -- in those days I never saw a red, yellow or orange pepper. Strange.
