Harken! Do mines eyes deceive me? Is that perhaps a certain bunny-eared doctor I spy with mine little eye, grilling delicious meats upon the source of magic?
There’s also a middle ground where you pick your meats and sauces from a buffet and hand them to a person to grill. They’re usually called Mongolian BBQ.
The Mongolian bbq in DC not to far from Fado irish pub… is AWESOME. last i was there it was like 12 bucks for all you can fit IN THE BOWL and they would grill it for you if you could jenga that stuff a foot high theyd happily ad the base meats n sauces and let you have at it. Was delicious.
The Mongolian BBQ in Silicon Valley I go to is all-you-can-eat. I typically do one bowl of meats and garlic and stuff and one bowl for the lesser ingredients like cabbage, noodles, veggies, and such.
Cesar salad doesn’t always come with the dressing on top, in fact most salads I have gotten lately have had their dressing on the side. I have even been asked what dressing I want when ordering a Cesar salad.
Yeah, I was gonna say: pretty sure there’s fish in there. And Worcestershire Sauce is fish-based as well.
Would be good if he were informed and could make his own choices about where the line is drawn (maybe he’d become a Pescatarian and could eat the same things as Selkie?). Or, yes, sub the dressing. But personally, I’d think that Caesar Salad with different (potentially less flavor-filled) dressing would be kinda boring compared to other salads with a better mix of veggies. (Also, Caesar is the only salad I know of where the salad comes tossed in the dressing as a normal version — everything else, you put the dressing on yourself.)
it also has Parmesan cheese in it.
3 parts olive oil 3 parts anchovy paste 1 part parmesan cheese, Pepper Salt, wostershire sauce basil. (used to make it in roughly those proportions and we would serve it over half a grilled head of romaine lettuce and ad more Big honking chunks of parm.
Yeah, but the cheese would matter to Vegans, not Vegetarians. I think Todd’s definitively not vegan, and enjoys cheese? I know he bought cheese earlier in the fic (I think from the first shopping trip with Selkie).
Very often, Caesar salads *don’t* have anchovies in the dressing. It is “traditional,” but it tends to only come up at fancier places in my experience. (My dad has a fish allergy, so I’ve had a fair amount of this being asked about explicitly throughout my life.)
Todd does explicitly mention being vegetarian, so hopefully the lack of comment here means the server knows it’s a non-issue with the dressing they use.
Out of concerns about meat or dislike of anchovies? Because if you already liked Caesar Salad before you knew it had anchovies in it, consider trying it again and seeing if you still like it now that you know.
There’s a fair number of foods that can turn people off from the knowledge but that are perfectly enjoyable if you don’t know what’s in them. One of my friends has bad associations with avocados but is fine if she doesn’t know it’s part of the dish.
That, and having all the options there to figure out which parts you want at the time you’re hungry, not plan out in advance which parts to buy and how to prep them. The distinction between a salad bar and actually having to plan out a specific salad, or between having slices from five different types of pizza vs. just one.
I like the idea of Chang’s Mongolian Grill, but next time I try it I would need to take more time to figure things out, because I didn’t have a clue about the sauces and I think my meal got undercooked for what I like, so I didn’t like the result. And it’s kinda expensive to try out several unpalatable versions before you get to a good one.
That’s true. Usually these places can give you a big plate of raw veggies. I usually grab the pineapple and throw it under the steak.
Little known fact: Ceasar dressing isnt vegetarian, it has anchovies & i guess it also depends on your stance for eggs, cause it has those too

He stands out a bit, doesn’t he? If you don’t notice the green skin, you’ll certainly notice that t-shirt of his (which I think we’ve seen before).
Wait, there are places in the U.S. that allow you to grill your own food?
*snerk*
Yeah, and some of them are Korean.
Usually you have an individual grill in your table. More sanitary and no hoppin’ up and down to grill stuff.

Now I’m hungry. Argh.
I see Sarnothi!
No one tell Todd that Caesar dressing is commonly made with anchovies

oh yea OUrs used to have walnuts in it too. forgot.
Yeah, but the cheese would matter to Vegans, not Vegetarians. I think Todd’s definitively not vegan, and enjoys cheese? I know he bought cheese earlier in the fic (I think from the first shopping trip with Selkie).
WELP guess i’m never eating a caesar salad again

Y’know, some people eat out so they don’t have to cook that night.
Could also be for those that have apartments or condos that don’t accommodate grills (no balcony or not allowed).
Some people also like to cook but don’t want to deal with the cleanup after.

“Snackrifice”! XD
That’s what I call it whenever my husband asks for a snack. Most of the time his go-to snackrifice is popcorn.
I like “Pit of snackrifice”.
I like Todd’s opening remark too.
