I mean, if it was named after Julius Caesar, why? We should eat it with knives or something. I’m sure they had Dijon and Worcestershire sauce in 50 BCE. Wonder what mental retcon people have made up to claim the association.

Isn't the salad just an effigy of his death? I mean you stab it with your fork multiple times when you eat it

I always thought it was named after the man because you have to stab at the stupid fucking croutons at least as many times as caesar himself just to get one on your fork or break it up. I hate those little fuckers.

Plus he always smelled of sardines, cheese and eggs.

It's not named after the emperor, it's named after the dog whisperer.

Can't see a Caesar and not want a Caesar

This will confuse Americans.

Not in the mountain west it won't. Except for the okra.

I've heard some tourist areas have picked up on it.

If I see this meme one more time, I am going to travel back in time and kill whoever killed Caesar so I don’t have to see it again

Pretty sure they're already dead.

Mid salad, much prefer a Greek salad. Croutons hurt my mouth. :(
