Pizza, pizzahhhhhh!!!
Every salad is a Caesar if you stab it enough.
‘While you have the knives ready, cut the baby out of my stomach…’
“I really like the color orange, too …”
Fun fact, it’s not actually named after Julius Caesar. It’s a “say-sar” salad and was invented in Tijuana Mexico.
Not really.
It’s actually the English “Caesar”. The founders of the OG bar & recipe were Italian but Tijuana has always been a bilingual town, so instead of the Italian Cesare or the Spanish César the official name is literally just the English version.
Now, the Latin <ˈkae̯sar> is absolutely the origin of the Italian Cesare with such a well documented evolution that for our purposes it is the same name but with a modernized pronunciation. In Italy (& Mexico’s César) the name made a huge comeback in the XX century but we cannot deny that is Julius (and their tyrannical parasocial followers) who made his cogname as famous as it is.
Extra dato curioso para los lenguados 👅 vivo en Tijuana y nadie dice “seizar”, literal cada restaurancito que tiene la misma receta escriben el nombre anglosajón en sus respectivos menús. Definitivamente vas a toparte con quienes la conocen exclusivamente como ensalada César pero sólo porque no conocen la historia (story, not history) y/o porque lo ven como una chicanada/pochismo. But that’s not here nor there.
Just for funsies Caesar is also the ancestor of Tzar and Keizer which covers a lot of European country words for emperor. Emperor coming from Imperium, also Latin but Roman empire actually used Augustus (like English augment meaning elevated as in the citizen of the empire that was elevated). Eastern Roman empire (commonly referred to as Byzantine) used Basileus which survives as basilica and basil the herb.
CBS Sunday Morning lied to me then.
i like turtles
I hear they make a great soup.
Also name ripping a baby directly out of a uterus after me. I know that sounds weird, but I’ve thought about this a lot guys, and it’s important to me. So that and the salad ok? Alright now I’m going to say something in French before I die. It just sounds cooler that way.
ripping a baby directly out of a uterus
Its ironic to describe this procedure like that when it’s actually much less violent and traumatic for parent and baby than the natural method.
Bone jaw, marshy book hoop.
Actually there were plenty of other Caesars the salad could have been named after.
No. They are all the same guy.
Too soon
Peter Cullen, Patrick Stewart and Julius Caesar?
