Hello lovelies!!!
Hello lovelies!!!
I’ll have you know I was taught how to make potato salad by a Tongan dude who looks nothing like this
But yeah, I resemble the image XD
I’m just gonna say it: Potato salad is NOT THAT BAD!
If it’s made by your grandma and with the right ingredients, anyway.
The weird thing is that it’s super commonplace over here, so lots of people do enjoy it. There are a lot of different kinds of potato salad and I’m betting the mega-Karen in the OP is referring to the kind that is pretty much just potatoes in mayo (which, for the record, is disgusting).
Maybe I’m lucky because I live near Pennsylvania Dutch country, but there’s an abundance of good potato salad here.
I think it’s because of Americanized potato salad. The kind with miracle whip and tons of corn syrup. I’ve had mayo based salads like this and it makes me want to puke (as an American lol)
I think this plays with the stereotype that weird eccentric middle aged people like weird/gross food. Sort of like jello salad coincidentally (search it up, it is foul).

🤮 That’s not potato salad! I demand a reinheitsgebot like with German beer!

That’s fair
corn syrup
lived most of my life in the midwest and southern US, never ever seen anyone put corn syrup in potato salad. doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen, but what the fuck yo
Apparently it’s a very niche thing over there
not at all, it’s a summertime staple in many places. Unfortunately it’s also fucking gross, right up there with coleslaw - you took something good, like a tater or some lettuce AND FUCKED IT ALL UP and left it wet and nasty.

I most certainly did NOT! Danish potato salad is fucking delicious! Nothing like the miracle whip and corn syrup monstrosity that’s being referred to here!
Yeah I know, was just funnier to pretend that I didn’t 😉
All kidding aside, though, you have to try Scandinavian/German style potato salad! That shit is SO good!
That’s actually not a very good comparison since, decibels being a base 10 exponential scale, the loudness of 133 and 155 decibels are not at all comparative.
A much better comparison is a 1984 Motörhead concert:
Lemmy and co.’s set was allegedly measured at 130 decibels, before it was cut short as plaster from the ceiling started to rain down on the audience below.
And that’s still MUCH less loud than a microwave eggsplosion!
Picture of potato salad:

Baader-Meihoff fuckin’ with me cuz I recently saw a thread about images not loading lol
The Real Tater Salad
*Americans who eat potato salad.
In Scandinavia and Germany, it’s popular amongst all sorts of people, not just megakarens…
That was from a fear of food poisoning from it being left out in the sun to warm. But it was more of an issue if real mayo, (with raw egg yolk), was used. If you used some type of industrial grade Miracle Whip untainted by anything real you could ID as an ingredient, it was far less of an issue.
Besides, what’s a little e.coli gonna do? Besides make you all shiny clean on the inside.
