But surely we can all agree that kiwi are probably the worst of all fruits.

You are usually served a salad without dressing on it. You choose to dress your salad. It’s a salad even without the dressing, a bland one, but still a salad.

Wait... the "Macedonia" thing is true. What's the issue?

And kiwi sucks.

What did the good people of Macedonia ever do to deserve being linked with melon-filled fruit salad in Quebec?

Kiwi is fine by itself but always feels weird when combined with other fruit. For some reason a few years back the powers that be decided the public really, really wants to combine kiwi with everything else. It's 2nd behind bananas in the rankings of fruits that need to stay the fuck away from strawberry.

Hey - I've never met a Macedonian that I din;t like.

But then again, I have never met a Macedonian.

And further research reveals that "Macedonia" is a fruit salad in Italy and Spain.

This should be on a plaque.

Bananas and kiwi are pretty yummy on their own. Bullshit when put into a Fruit Salad (yummy yummy*).

This Kiwifruit Isn't From New Zealand at All. It's Chinese, and This Is How It Got Hijacked

Guess I'm in the minority here. Enjoy your Chinese gooseberries.

Just a terrible mixed fruit cup.
Drew Magary sells me out after years of thinking I was becoming him and he me.

"Matt:

I'm in an overly contentious argument with a friend about fruit salad. Does fruit salad have syrup/dressing on it? Or does chopped mixed fruit qualify as a fruit salad?

I don’t think I’ve ever had a dressed fruit salad, unless you count adding a sugar and maybe a bit of water to underwhelming chopped berries to help them taste like something. Otherwise, a fruit salad to me is just a bunch of chopped-up fruit with nothing else on it. I don’t need some hoity-toity balsamic glaze to make it an Official Salad. I’m not even gonna eat the thing anyway. I only have eyes for the bowl of barbecue potato chips at the other end of the spread."

The only way I eat cantaloupe is with salt and pepper on it, as learned from my Louisville-born and bred dad. And I don't touch honeydew or watermelon. I was turned off from most fruit because of that abomination a page back called ambrosia.

Thanks, AB, for bumping this.
