This has nothing to do with the original concept/internet meme of “girl dinner”, this is just salad and fries. Girl dinner is like… six olives and an entire sleeve of crackers with peanut butter directly out of the jar. Girl dinner is three slices of cheddar cheese, and an entire bag of baby carrots with hummus. If you have the emotional capacity to cook fries and mix a salad, that is not girl dinner, thats just dinner. This is capitalism using buzzwords without understanding what they’re saying and I’m irrationally annoyed by this one in particular because I fucking love Girl Dinner.
That is all. Hope your next meal is delicious and fulfilling xoxo
Thanks cokeslutgarbage!
Thank you, this makes so much more sense.
I also love ‘Girl Dinner’, and I’m just a lazy guy.
I just tend to call it a mega-snack, and eat slightly different combos of snack foods than I guess the stereotypical (typical?) girl snack foods, but they still aim to hit the same spectrum of food groups and nutrients.
Yeah, you just keep eating various snacks until you aren’t hungry anymore.
Hrm.
I try to… plan my ‘mega-snacks’ to hit a bit more specific food groups / kinds of nutrients than just… munching on whatever untill I’m full.
So, still lazy in that it doesn’t require any actual ‘cooking’ or food prep, beyond just grabbing an assortment of things.
But no so lazy that basically 0 thought is put into it.
… Not sure if that qualifies as a meaningful difference in terms of ‘girl dinner’ vs ‘mega snack’.
Also, I’m using the word ‘lazy’, but I’ve been seriously depressed and/or exhausted and overwhelmed before, ‘lazy’ isn’t quite the right word…
… as it tends to imply there was even a possibility that you had the mental bandwidth to decide to not use, to actively be ‘lazy’, when that isn’t always the case for someone who chronically having a really not good time.
I want to eat that I don’t care what they call it.
Carbs and lettuce?
Non.
That’s not how you do cheese fries.

my one concern is that I wouldn’t want a salad dressing touching my fries. especially since I tend to prefer a light vinagrette.
I wonder if such a sauce exists that could function as both salad dressing and fry sauce. probably something starting with a thousand island base?
Honestly a balsamic vinegarette on some thick fries is pretty fucking great.
Caesar dressing would be a delight for fries. Really any creamy dressing

Ranch.
Am I wrong in saying ranch is the Swiss army knife of sauces?
It’s pretty versatile.
Blue cheese, too.
Can I get shawarma poutine in a fancy glass as my girl dinner?
Seems like where they meet you’d get warm salad and cool fries.
Now THIS is pod racing 😎
Slightly wet fried with an odd taste of anchovies and oil.
Okay so make these zucchini fries and I am capital P there
Ok, let me explain….
Does wanting this mean I’m a girl
No it means you’re a cultured lady
I’m Pittsburgh odds are fries would come on the salad with every dinner. Strange tradition, but I don’t mind it.
Aka, “vegetarian gets dragged to a steakhouse.”
Watch out, that looks like a Caesar salad, which has anchovies in the dressing.
You can make or buy vegan/vegetarian dressings.
Or just not add anchovies, they don’t add that much to the taste anyway
Beg to differ, they add so much umami, you could probably do something with seaweed though
Sodium glutamate and aroma compositions are there to help!
My man!
Working in the food industry :)
It’s in the dressing itself.
I know, so you can make your own without them!
Huh, almost like that’s what I said originally.
Most places are using bottled dressings shits just flavouring and thickeners.
I was shocked to realize that the cheesecake factory preps everything from scratch. They have a chef who just makes sauces and nothing else.
As a girl, yeah i want that dinner
