I've got one word on Chicken Salad:

http://straubs.com/departments/deli/

Our world famous chicken
salad is so popular,
over 35 tons of it are
consumed yearly!

This is a good thread to share chicken salad recipes. I rarely make
it and haven't made any in years. Right now, I'm wondering what the
difference is between the chicken salad you'd put in a sandwich and
the chicken salad you'd put on a plate. In the mean time, I'll go to
my recipe box and see if I can rustle up the last one I used. I
really liked it at the time.

No difference, if it's really good chicken salad. I don't know what's
in Straub's chicken salad except for fresh never frozen chicken breast
meat and Hellman's mayo and their own blend of spices. I think it may
have a little sweet relish in it too. I know this, it is fantastic on
a plate or a sandwich! I used to work in the Srtaub's deli and we were
(and they still are) very big on giving out free samples. I swear over
1/2 the people I ever gave a sample of their chicken salad bought at
least 1/2 lb of it! It is that good!! They sell a LOT of it!

Let me guess.... one is served on a plate and the other between two
slices of bread?

My personal observation is that the salad mix has a lot more
mayonnaise in it than what goes on a plate. As I said previously, I
haven't eaten or made it in years. Sorry an on topic, food related
question peeved you so much. It seems like not much of anything can
be discussed here without someone else belittling it... unless it's a
Julie related bash, of course. Then it's a free for all where even
the posters who claim to have her kill filed chime in.

I would have replied, sf, except I don't like chicken salad in any form.
I do recognize it's on topic.

Funny that you should bring up Julie, because it was a Julie type
questions. Chicken salad.... chicken salad sandwich.

Thanks, I actually like it. The problem is I haven't eaten it in
decades. There are a lot of things I consider warm weather food that
I don't eat very often because it never gets warm enough here for me
to want to make it... ordinary stuff like potato salad. I don't want
ice cream either - that's another hot weather food for me.

Anyway, this thread got me thinking about it. The news says we're
going to have a heat wave this week, so I'll plan Chicken Waldorf
Salad for one night.

Yes, I said it because you're doing what you usually do to Julie.
Please believe me when I say that act is old.

Danged if I jes didn't happen to have chicken salad last night.

One large BRINED Cajun chicken breast, iceberg lettuce, grape
tomatoes, fresh white onion slivers, Girard's Champagne French
dressing, w/ fresh ground pepper and fresh grated parmesan. Yum!

The chicken was brined a bit too long, so was TOO tender. Who knew!?
All these yrs I poohed-poohed brining, and now I'm a *cough* firm
*cough* believer. Danged if I ain't gonna hafta read that insanely
long page on why brining works.

<http://www.edinformatics.com/math_science/science_of_cooking/brining.htm>

I also love Creole/Cajun flavor, so Charchere's rub on the chkn made
the meal.

enjoy =D

Hey. I didn't say anything about Julie in my response. You must have
recognized it has a Julie type of question in order to bring her name
into the discussion. I mean....
Roast beef.... roast beef sandwich.
Ham... ham sandwich
Egg salad.... egg salad sandwich.
cheese... cheese sandwich

Get the pattern? The difference is the bread. There is no single
recipe for chicken salad, and any chicken salad can become a sandwich by
putting it between two slices of bread.

I like chicken salad, I like canned chicken salad better than made
from roast chicken.

I often make chicken salad from leftover roast chicken. I chop it up and
add some finely sliced green onion and celery, salt, pepper and
mayonnaise. Sometimes I put it on a plate. Sometimes I put it on bread,
slap another slice of bread on top and voila..... chickens salad sandwich.

I once mixed canned and left-over roast. It was the best!

I think we all know Sheldon's attitude toward rotisserie chicken, but I
love leftover roasted chicken and rotisserie chicken is even better cold
than it is hot. Sometimes I think I should alter my shopping times
in order to pick up a store cooked rotisserie chicken to have hot for
supper.

The one served on a plate usually has more items in it such as grapes or
nuts etc.

I am sure there are thousands of variations of chicken salad. I have
had it and/or seen it on a plate before, at people's homes and in
restaurants. I have never seen it with grapes or nuts. I imagine they
could be good in a chicken salad, but I doubt that is what distinguishes
chicken served on a plate from that which is served between two slices
of bread and called a sandwich.

Probably not, just an observation based on living in the South.

In chicken salad, I like toasted, chopped walnuts, I guess it is the
crunch, that I like. I use chopped celery, which should provide enough
of that.

We had chicken salad tonight. My wife rarely eats bread so she had hers
on a plate. She put some between two slices of bread for me. Same
chicken salad.
I am not a big fan of walnuts, but I think that slivered almonds could
be good in chicken salad. I imagine the would have to be added at the
last minute or else they could get soggy.

I've always used toasted almond slivers with chicken salad - and tuna
salad, etc. However, I don't mix the almonds until serving the 'salad'
or sandwich, otherwise the nuts get stale and soggy. Never have I used
grapes, although I understand that's not uncommon.

Heheh - so I replied in a previous post The almonds will become
soggy unless added when served. BTDT and learned.

Almond slivers are one of my favorite things. I'd put a bunch
in my yogurt. Never put them in salad, though.

My parents always made turkey salad with leftover Thanksgiving turkey that
had walnuts or pecans and halved grapes in it. As a general rule, I don't
like fruit in savory things.

When I used to make chicken salad, if I had canned chicken I would add
celery, onion and mayo. This would either be eaten on sandwiches or in
stuffed tomatoes.

If I had freshly cooked, chopped chicken, I would add just enough mayo to
moisten, then celery, onion and walnuts or pecans if I had them. Like you,
I would add at the last minute and would only make enough to eat then. No
leftovers. The canned kind is fine to make for leftovers.

There was a chicken delivery place on Staten Island that sold chicken salad
but it was just chopped chicken breast. Thankfully, the first time I
ordered it, I did have the other ingredients. But... They sent a whopping
amount of chicken! So I had enough to make salad for a few days.

It is common here for restaurants to serve chicken salads that are merely
green or tossed green salads with chicken on top. Might be strips or
chopped chicken or even breaded chicken. It is also common to have some
sort of fruit with this, like strawberries, craisins, apples or pears. Or
they do a Southwest salad which might have corn kernels or tortilla strips
added.

I don't often eat yogurt - but I bet they (almonds) are just as good too
Sort of like (any) crunchy nuts on a sundae! Yummy ;>

Read what I said. I didn't even try to imply that you said anything
about Julie. I told you your response was a response typical of what
you say to Julie.

Yes. I got it. You think "Julie" and you go into Julie response mode
even though you claim to have her kill filed.

I disagree... and it is a conclusion I formed after posing the initial
question.

Thank you!

After giving it some thought, I came to the conclusion that there is
more dressing in a chicken salad sandwich than you'd find in chicken
salad on a plate.

Of course, deli style "chicken salad" doesn't count for spit in this
context.

Maybe you need to keep up. I did mention a few days ago that I was
taking Julie out of the filter. There was no escaping her idiocy
because so many other people were giving her the attention she obviously
craves and some were upset that I dared to comment about her and about
their responses to her when I said that I had kill filed her. She is
fair game now, and no one can complain about her getting the treatment
she seems to enjoy so much.

Yet no one has posted anything that comes close to a difference between
the chicken salad that is put on a plate and the chicken salad that goes
into a salad.

I think that someone else here said it better when likening you to a bus
crash that is about to happen. You don't want to look but you can't take
your eyes off it. I sometimes wonder if you are a masterful troll who
manages to suck people into following your nonsense or just terminally
stupid.

Of course not. We have to live in denial about what is obviously true.

It may well exist. There are probably thousands of variations in chicken
salad recipes. Some of them may not work well in a sandwich. I am sure
there are variations with nuts and grapes that would not work well for a
sandwich, but the fact remains that most chicken salad can be served on
a plate or in a sandwich because it is the same thing.

I'm well aware that you took her out, but it makes zero difference if
she's in our out of your kill file. You can't seem to resist Julie
bashing. In any case, you're just trying to deflect the fact that
your reply was in the same style as one of your typical Julie bashing
responses.

Yep. That is why I put her in there in the first place. It turned out to
be a waste because you can't escape her idiocy when everybody else is
responding to her, some to do call her on her idiocy and some to indulge
her as if she were half way sane. Some people just can't help themselves
one way or another.

Not at all. That response about the difference between recipes for
chicken salad for a plate and chicken salad for a sandwich being the
bread was indeed the type of answer I would have posted to a stupid
question from Julie because it was a stupid question. It is right up
there with the difference between ketchup for a hotdog and ketchup for
fries. It is my case that you are well aware that it was a stupid Julie
type question and that is why you brought her name into it.
