Caesar salad was invented in Mexico, but the basic message here remains true

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It was an Italian immigrant, though.

We need one more twist to make this a truly great factoid.

That immigrant's name? Caesar Mario, father of the Mario Brothers of Mushroom Kingdom fame.

In the traditional way to cook it, it's important to start with a chick stabbing the chicken in the back.

Got em ... because that Italian immigrant most likely had 0.00000000000000000001% DNA relation to Julius Caesar

He was probably also 1/32nds Cherokee too

The salad is 100% caesar tho

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

And that's what matters according to the meme. The guy doesn't matter, the idea does. Thanks for reminding us of the true spirit of the meme!

Wrong. 50% salad, 50% Ceaser

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

It would be way cooler to just say that he was a descendant of Julius Caesar than to say he has insert small number here amount of his dna

This meme explained: Cut your vegetables like you cut a Caesar.

Nha, you just have to gain the chicken's trust and the stab it on the back.

Ave Caesar!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Fun fact: the ceasar salad was invented in Tijuana in the 1920s?

And The salad has, in turn, killed many (romaine lettuce prone to bacteria)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

I suspect Caesar the guy had more people killed than Caesar salads but I admit I do not have proof.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Fun fact: The Caesar salad was created in Mexico from what I knew.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Ironically, after a bunch of salad ingredients had gone bad and the head chef had to scramble for a menu, if I recall the story correctly.

Can't see a Caesar and not want a Caesar

[–] RagingRobot 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's the one with fish juice right?

What'd you say about my ex wife?

[–] Casey_Masterpiece 5 points 10 months ago

This is my Roman Empire

[–] nifty 2 points 10 months ago

I’ve been playing Expeditions Rome and the pronunciation of the Roman names is quite interesting.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Yah, because salad is Latin for salted vegetables.
