    Caesar was so synonymous with emperor, they had to change the pronunciation of a letter to differentiate Caesar and Kaiser

      Elon has more money.

      Crassus was the one with money who gave it to Caesar. Crassus was not stabbed, I think he was stabbing Caesar too.

    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.

    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 chicanda/pochismo. But that’s not here or there.

    I’m not eating a Trump salad, no matter how many times he gets stabbed. Unless he’s stabbed like ten times. Then maybe. Or twenty. Then for sure. Let me know how many times he gets stabbed and I’ll let you know if I want salad.

      Have you tried one? It’s pretty good. It’s got mini pickles, mini wieners, hush money puppies, some and Im peaches topped with saffron and gold flakes. It’s what they serve at the grand estoria hotel to any guest who says “pardon” about themselves.
