My first cousin has been divorced twice and I keep up with both of the women he was married to on Facebook.

I'm not sure about Swedes, though. My family would try it as they are fairly adventurous, but a lot here think of salad as being a limp piece of iceberg lettuce and a quarter slice of tomato. <br /><br />I love to try new foods so I would have eaten it, especially if I knew that it was YOU who made it.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088355577823930786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-89117024628727108602013-12-09T18:50:34.097+00:002013-12-09T18:50:34.097+00:00Glad toknow there is one more of you CG!

Having said that, this is the second time I brought this dish to a party up here and the second time it's been completely ignored! And yet they ravage gloopy mayo overladen tasteless potato salad??

But - if I am honest only my husband is English as I was born and raised in Africa and bean-bean salad (as we know it) is a staple holiday dish - you are correct that it does mature and become more delish - as for my husband who is a northerner he LOVES the salad and is often the first to ask for it!!

I just find something that I would like instead and substitute it for the disliked ingredient. I can appreciate however that not all people are capable of thinking outside the box or even want to!<br /><br />Maybe it's just Northerners? I seem to recall never having this same problem down south.
