A Burrito Bowl is Not a Burrito, It Is a Salad, amirite?

A salad usually contains cold and raw ingredients. A burrito bowl is like unwrapping a burrito and putting it all into a bowl. Would you call a poke bowl a salad too?

Unironically a lot of native hawaiians say that what is typically sold as a poke bowl in the mainland is not close to real poke (and I agree) so they just call the continental poke bowls "raw fish salads" in jest.

I'm currently eating a sandwich bowl. It's mostly lettuce and tomatoes and lacks the fundamental requirements for the term, but I call it a sandwich bowl because it makes me feel less sad.

What's in tuna salad? What about pasta salad? Salad is just a bunch of ingredients mixed up together.

They're cold and there are vegetables in them. But by all means, call spaghetti and meatballs a salad if you want.

Thats not what it is you scramblehead. Its a burrito IN A BOWL. Your first clue is that we call it a burrito bowl. Imagine you want a burrito, but you want it IN A BOWL. You would probably ask for something like a burrito bowl. Thats like a burrito in a bowl or a burrito bowl. Its a burrito in a bowl. The bowl part of the name is used to describe the bowl the burrito is in.

stuff in a bowl that would normally go into a burrito but lacks the tortilla, is absolutely not a burrito. That's why they call it a burrito bowl, and not a burrito. Might want to type "compound noun" into your search bar.

It's not a salad because it has rice as the base. It's just a casserole.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

it's not a salad either, that's a different item. the burrito bowl is the ingredients served over rice the salad is the ingredients served over lettuce.

by Anonymous 1 week ago

I could have a chicken salad wrap, or a tuna salad wrap. So, by your logic the mixed ingredients in a burrito is called Burrito Salad, and what you are claiming is a burrito is actually a Burrito Salad Wrap. The Burrito Bowl, is really Burrito Salad on rice and the Burrito Salad is really Burrito Salad over lettuce.

Op's wrong but potato salad can definitely be served warm

by Tough-Specialist-149 1 week ago

It can be served warm because you use hot cooked potatoes to make it when you don't make it right or are in a hurry. you would literally never pull potato salad out of the fridge then put it in the microwave. It's not eaten warm on purpose.

by Open-Explorer 1 week ago

That's not true we always eat it warm on Xmas day. Nothing about making it wrong, it just tastes better

by Aquigley 1 week ago

Why are you guys being purposely obtuse. A burrito is a specific type of dish where a tortilla is wrapped around the filling. Adding the term bowl to it is contradictive and makes no sense. Not saying it's a salad but it def shouldn't be called a burrito anything if it's in a bowl and there's no tortilla wrapped around.

Even if it was a salad, it's still a burrito bowl. It's not a burrito, it's a burrito bowl. I don't really have proof to dispel whether it can be considered a salad or not (But it does not need lettuce, so do you call every heap of food in a bowl a salad then?), but its a burrito bowl.
