Most Popular Food in the World? Salad. Of course.
We should have known this. Salad wins the prize for most popular food world wide.
Today for lunch I made myself a great lunch by combining several ready made ingredients: an Asian salad mix with dressing, some left over roast chicken, and a glass of ice tea. Good, easy and satisfying.
