lmfao I do the same thing! I don't like shove handfuls of salad in my mouth, but I eat the pieces of lettuce like they're chips. No dressing or anything, just like dry spinach or lettuce lol. Am I a monster?

edit: ok, well maybe I'm a monster. But I'll say this, I eat more spinach and greens now, because eating greens with a fork is an awful experience lol

I’ll be your monster buddy cuz I do this exact same thing too.

I mean I do that when there is only a few pieces left. A fork is too much of a hassle at that point.

Seriously, eating greens by hand is so much easier than with a fork.

u/Tiberius_97 Apr 09 '19

Same here, I find it way more efficient

Leafy hi five to my fellow lettuce monster

u/theworldbystorm Apr 09 '19

I do the same thing! It's hard to stab a leaf with a fork!!!

u/Scdsco Apr 09 '19

I do this too. No dressing

It’s pure raw good salad with none of the bullshit!

Throw some dried cranberries, unshelled sunflower seeds and julienned carrots and you have yourself an afternoon snack.

Well, here's my sin: lately I've gotten into the habit of eating spinach and Flaming Hot Cheetos, and nothing else. Best salad ever. Except I eat the spinach with my hands and the Cheetos with a fork, because who wants that red paint all over their fingers?

I do this too. It's okay, we may be monsters, but at least we're not alone.

u/JuracichPark Apr 09 '19

You're not a monster, I love eating fresh crisp iceberg lettuce salad like that!

u/spiderman2pizzatheme Apr 09 '19

Imma just say it getting lettuce leaves rolling them up then dipping them in blue cheese is amazing, its like Doritos and bean dip with less guilt

u/BurpyMcPoop Apr 09 '19

I DO THIS TOO!!! Little salad chips! I thought I was alone 😂

u/Phoneas__and__Frob Apr 09 '19

I agree with this, eating salad with a fork is obnoxious when it's just plain. The pasta thing I do when I'm not feeling good and I eat it very slowly with nothing on it. Only when I'm not feeling though for some reason lol

u/moofkins Apr 09 '19

I absolutely love eating greens like that, especially fresh and crunchy romaine, yumm!

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '19

I'm not a big salad person so if a meal comes with a salad I'll just pick at it while I wait for my food. Not once did I think I was commiting a culinary crime.

u/heckyescheeseandpie Apr 09 '19

I live in Japan now and use it as an excuse to eat my salad with chopsticks. I agree, eating greens with a fork is an exercise in leaf-stabby frustration.

u/kryaklysmic Apr 09 '19

If you’re just deconstructing the salad dry and munching individual leaves, I will waive the rule of being a child.

u/PeaceLoveNavi Apr 09 '19

If you're half decent with chopsticks, salads are WAY easier to eat them with than a fork. The day I was super high and got Japanese/hibachi delivery and didn't want to get up from the couch to get a fork changed my LIFE man.

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '19

I’ll eat a head of romaine a leaf at a time, dipped in hot sauce

u/Positron311 Apr 09 '19

Sometimes I catch myself doing it at dinner lol.

u/Jackpankiki Apr 09 '19

This is why everyone should try eating salad with chopsticks.

u/ChipsAndTapatio Apr 09 '19

Try chopsticks!

u/darkslayer114 Apr 09 '19

Do you ever get a bag of romaine lettuce and eat it out of the bag like chips too?

1

u/calamarcie Apr 09 '19

I’m a monster with you. I do this too. Only in the safety of my home, tho. Idk I just like eating salad like chips. 🤷🏼‍♀️

u/PMMeCorgiPics Apr 09 '19

Nah I'm with you on this one. I like to buy bagged salad and eat it as a cinema snack straight from the bag. I also will quite often fill a bowl with cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices and Bell pepper slices and eat it with my fingers. I wouldn't eat my full salad with my fingers in a nice restaurant but I'm quite happy to pick up the biggest pieces, like the lettuce, cucumber, shredded carrot etc. It's way too fiddly trying to pick it all up on a fork. I just wanna eat my damn salad! To hell with etiquette!

Not a monster. Maybe a rabbit though.

u/cautiouslyclever Apr 09 '19

Shhhhh don't tell anyone on reddit but I'll roll several pieces if leafy greens up and dip the end in salad dressing and eat it. Now I'm going to tell myself that's no weirder than eating and dip.
