I made salad last night and tried something new. To accompany the salad I put some slices of ham on a cracker, added cheese and melted it in the microwave, and topped each one off with a small slice of watermelon. Turned out to be pretty good stuff.
“You go out, you order a steak, what do they do? They bring you a salad. They don’t even charge you for it, cause it ain’t worth anything, cause it ain’t food. Salad is a promissory note that food will soon arrive.”
Salad? SALAD???? Salad isn’t food. Salad isn’t a meal. Salad’s the stuff that comes with the food. Salad is a promisary note that something good is going to happen… and I should just wait right here. You go out, you order a steak. What do they do? They bring you a salad. They don’t even charge you anything for it, cause it ain’t worth anything, cause it ain’t food!
Brutus should be glad that Gladys served something she couldn’t burn. But this is not a problem. Brutus will just go get all the toppings he used on his ice cream in Saturday’s strip and turn it into a real meal!
That’s the difference. To a woman, salads and soups qualify as entrees. To a man, they’re great appetizers, but need to be served along with an actual full-sized meal.
Maybe he can have some Jello for dessert. With fruit. If Gladys is eating a small salad too, there must be health reasons. She likes her food, too. They are both belly-up to the table.

Is there even any meat in the salad? Like chicken or little bits of bacon?

Either Gladys didn’t feel like cooking or, suddenly, she became vegan.

In other words he wants you to feed him a four course meal because he’s hungry.

Does it at least have little cubes of meat?

It is Gladys’ version of rabbit food that she is trying her best to sell, but Brutus isn’t buying it at all.

From the profiles of these two, small salads for dinner is just about right.

Relax, that’s just your appetizer. You’re free to go to the restaurant of your choice after you’ve finished the salad.

Just add some dressing to it, Brutus. That’ll improve the taste.

A little healthier eating won’t hurt you, Brutus.
