If you are having a salad at home, do you eat it before, during, or after dinner? I saw a comment on another thread about Americans always eating salads before dinner, which got me wondering.
I voted Before since that's customary here and that what my DH prefers. Me, I would rather eat it during or after. I used to love to snack on leftover salads while cleaning up from dinner.
A remnant of my Hungarian upbringing, salad is consumed as an accompaniment to the main dish. Even at restaurants I will eat my salad with dinner. I've never had any servers complain about it either, thankfully.
I remember being told as a child that eating salad before dinner was "California style". We always had salad first- and had salad with every meal. I eat it with dinner now, though.
If it's at home, like you're asking, I eat it during dinner. But eating out would be before dinner.
Ditto.
But I don't like to fill up on salad in a restaurant so I'll move the plate over to the side to nibble on with my main course.
Why are waiters so anxious to take away my salad? Even after I tell them I want to keep it they'll ask if they can remove "that plate" when they refill the beverages. I don't believe in slapping hands but a couple of times I was pretty sure that was what it would take.
