<shrug> Well, I'm as American as it gets, and so were
my parents and grandparents,  and at home (and at my friends' homes, too)
I grew up on salad with the meal, not before it.  As a result, I've
always found the restaurant custom of salad beforehand, alone, to be
weird and annoying, and I usually ask that the salad be brought with the
meal.   The reason for the 
restaurant custom, I'm guessing, is mainly to keep customers busy while
the entree cooks...but, hey, 
isn't that what appetizers are for?

Anyway, I figure people who serve salad first and separately must not
have been brought up to know what's good together.  I mean, how can I
taste the 
exquisiteness of slaw and fried fish together, for example, or tossed
salad and lasagna, or potato salad and baked beans, if they aren't on the
table at the same time?  Sorry, but it makes no sense to me at all.

And now, back to topic. :)

Keep on rockin',
Rain
