Caesar salad was invented in Mexico, but the basic message here remains true
It was an Italian immigrant, though.
We need one more twist to make this a truly great factoid.
That immigrant's name? Caesar Mario, father of the Mario Brothers of Mushroom Kingdom fame.
In the traditional way to cook it, it's important to start with a chick stabbing the chicken in the back.
Got em ... because that Italian immigrant most likely had 0.00000000000000000001% DNA relation to Julius Caesar
He was probably also 1/32nds Cherokee too
The salad is 100% caesar tho
And that's what matters according to the meme. The guy doesn't matter, the idea does. Thanks for reminding us of the true spirit of the meme!
Wrong. 50% salad, 50% Ceaser
It would be way cooler to just say that he was a descendant of Julius Caesar than to say he has insert small number here amount of his dna
This meme explained: Cut your vegetables like you cut a Caesar.
Nha, you just have to gain the chicken's trust and the stab it on the back.
Ave Caesar!
And The salad has, in turn, killed many (romaine lettuce prone to bacteria)
I suspect Caesar the guy had more people killed than Caesar salads but I admit I do not have proof.
Fun fact: The Caesar salad was created in Mexico from what I knew.
Ironically, after a bunch of salad ingredients had gone bad and the head chef had to scramble for a menu, if I recall the story correctly.
Fun fact: the ceasar salad was invented in Tijuana in the 1920s?
Can't see a Caesar and not want a Caesar
That's the one with fish juice right?
What'd you say about my ex wife?
Caesar Salad is from the 1920's. A restauranteur and Italian immigrant named Caesar Cardini served it in Tijuana, Mexico.
It had nothing to do with ancient Romans. Bad meme, do your homework next time.
I’m going to keep making ‘incorrect Caesar’ memes for your pleasure.
Oh okay, as long as it's truthy enough. This one wasn't.
I can’t claim credit for this one, which is brilliant BTW.
Brilliant? Whew that's a low bar you've set for that word.
Well ok. But you don’t like it so no matter what positive adjectives I use you’ll object.
Huh? I'm not categorically opposed to memes. I just have opinions sometimes. There are plenty of others I like 🤷♂️
How DARE you have opinions!!!!
The dichotomy of meme and reality is best characterised as "comedy". It's a joke, my dude.
Some jokes are weak AF and fall flat, my dude.
Hundreds of people seem to have enjoyed it.
Are you out of touch? No, it's everyone else who is wrong.
I feel like you know Ad Populum is a fallacy and now you're just responding in bad faith.
Ad Populum is not a fallacy when talking about subjective things like comedy. This is not a formal debate.
Eh, ok agreed. Sorry, I got really bad sleep the last couple days so my sense of humor was pretty much dead. I'm doing better now. I'm not usually that much of a stiff.
I shouldn't have even commented. When you've already been awake for most of a 48+ hour period you don't always make the best decisions...
Completely understandable! Glad to hear you're doing better :)
His rival across town was named Brutus.
He sounds dangerous, or at least if you're an emperor.
A Brutus Salad you say? Intriguing...
How many ages hence
Shall this our lofty scene be acted over
In states unborn and accents yet unknown!
Yea tru, thank u Shakespeare
I'm sure that with him being an Italian immigrant, the name Caesar has NOTHING to do with ancient Rome. Absolutely zero link there.
This is my Roman Empire
I’ve been playing Expeditions Rome and the pronunciation of the Roman names is quite interesting.
Caesar is a title not a name. Like emperor, czar, king...
Oh boy, you're gonna have fun learning where the name of the tittle comes from...
Yah, because salad is Latin for salted vegetables.
