    Salad doesn’t mean vegetables. Salad is a dish made of a mixture of discrete pieces. See other things like potato salad, macaroni salad, tuna salad, antipasto salad, caprese salad, etc. You’re going to have a lot of food hangups if this bothers you.

      Oh, I know what salad means. The gelatine part is what bothers me deeply, especially if in conjunction with cream cheese. Who in their right mind comes up with something like that? 😅

          The Brits really did what they could to deserve sayings like the one about how their food, women and weather were the reasons why they became such a great seafaring nation.

        Would you put whipped cream on jello/jelly? That’s also dairy and features heavily in dessert. Cream cheese is used to make some icing, cheese cake is basically a brick of sweetened cream cheese. So cream cheese also shows up in desserts.

        So the person who came up with it was just familiar with how desserts work.
