It is being proposed at Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion that Greek salad should be deleted. I have suggested that it should be kept at the moment because Greek salad ought be treated in a consistant manner to Chicken salad, Egg salad,Fruit salad,Pasta salad, Potato salad, Somen salad,Tabouli,Waldorf salad and Watergate salad. There are historical developents, related events, cultural influences, variataions and interpretations and fictional references to many of these salads however many of these specific salad types have very short articles, the content of which I reackon could be merged into the salad page, without it becomming too long.

AFAIK, once cooked, eggs are fine. At least this is what was said during the salmonella scare in the UK -- Tarquin 10:08, 22 Aug 2003 (UTC)Oh I see. Is salad seen a specifically a picnic food in the US? It isn't over in Europe. -- Tarquin 10:16, 22 Aug 2003 (UTC)I think this is another US-POV problem -- salad itself isn't the problem; it's the way it is served & perceived in the USA, and we should change the article accordingly. I make salad at home ;) -- Tarquin 11:35, 22 Aug 2003 (UTC)Salad - that is to say the things like fresh tomatoes, lettuce, celery, cucumber etc are only likely to be cause food posioning if they have been washed or grown in contaminated water, or if they have been handled badly or sneezed on. In the greter scheme of things these salads are less likely culprits in any food poisoning outbreak. The real risk is from other bits that are added to salad. High risk additions are: mayonnaise, egg / dairy, meat and rice. David Thrale 13:58, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
