    If there is not another starchy item, potato salad.  If there is corn or another starch, coleslaw.  I don't like coleslaw but seem to prepare it to others' taste.

    Macaroni salad.  In fact, once I finish here, I'm gonna go make it (eggs should be cooled by now).  My macaroni salad is so good that it's requested at all our family holiday get-togethers.

    It's a family secret (meaning if my family knew it, they wouldn't eat it)

    I understand completely, I have a few of those recipes myself. :) This post was edited by Echooos at May 30, 2021 6:35 PM MDT

    Whatever my daughter is making or buying. I prefer potato salad, but after I started eating my wife's, I don't like anyone else's except my sister's.

    I don't particularly like barbequed anything, so any of those three foods sound much  better to me than the feast itself.

      I see. I understand completely, and I fully support your right to decide for yourself what you like and what you dislike. You’re entitled to it just as much as I am, just as much as anyone is. I applaud you, my friend; please be well and have a fantastic day. 

      *Two seconds later, Randy D scratches put out Welby’s name and adds it the list of those people who are now dead to him. Grrrrrrr.

    Don't worry about what Randy said. That's actually us getting crossed off a list of people to be killed, not people who are dead to him. Also, look at that typo!! And it's been there for close to 24 hours, too! He's clearly losing it! We'll be fine, with our side dishes. Do you like radishes?

    Potato salad seems to go with most BBQ, but coleslaw goes better with hot dogs.  I will eat macaroni salad if it isn't made with too much mayonnaise.

    This sounds like a tribute to mayonnaise!

      Grrrrrrr. The “Miracle Whip Lobby” is sending someone to your place even as we speak! Such blasphemy must be squashed before it spreads, you troublemaker! I have a reputation to uphold, I’ll have you know!

      You’re dead to me also, so please don’t try to talk to me any more. You had your chance before throwing me under the mayo-lovers’ bus.

    Okie Dokie. 

    For some reason I'm suddenly in the mood for an Adam Sandler movie!

    Potato salad and Greek salad - love my olives and feta.
    Pasta salad i can take or leave, usually leave - my better half's Hashimoto's means she has to limit her gluten intake. Coleslaw is revolting, and serves purely as joke fodder. "Have you heard about the new law that if you purchase shredded cabbage from Coles, you're legally required to buy shredded carrots and mayonnaise as well? Coles Law." (Coles is the biggest supermarket chain in Australia.)

  • Potato salad is always served at my family's barbecues.  I could make macaroni salad or coleslaw, but potato salad is the traditional dish at barbecues, especially Christmas barbecue.
