More fun with salad (& class)

Now that you like salad, you may be wondering what your salad has to say about you. In 1949 Life Magazine published a chart that let readers identify their social classes based on their preferences in, among other things, salad. This was mostly a joke, but remains kind of true, as you'll see if you take a look at the chart.

Here is the salad category.
Highbrow: Greens, olive oil, ground salt, ground pepper, garlic, unwashed salad bowl
Upper Middle: Same as highbrow but with tomatoes, avocado, Roquefort cheese added
Lower Middle: Quartered iceberg lettuce and store dressing
Lowbrow: Coleslaw

Whenever I start to feel too uppity, I remind myself that I like cheese on my salad.

The whole issue is available on Google Books and I heartily recommend it if you have some time to waste (the "High-Brow, Low-Brow, Middle-Brow" article starts on p. 99).
