Premade salad offerings

[Incredible Hawk]

Had friends over to grill out yesterday and they brought the potato salad and cole slaw. Not sure if Resers was the brand, but it was off the shelf salads from HyVee. Not good - I believe it to be the 'worst' of the bbq/potluck salad offerings, but wanted to see what HROT thought. Does anyone eat this stuff? All four of these have a 'pickled' flavor to me which doesn't belong in any of them....

Those are not good. And I love potato salad. Get one of the other potato salads in the deli case if you don't want to make your own.

It should make you question how close your friendship with these people actually is. It's clearly not close enough to warrant them taking the time to make actual potato salad or cole slaw. If they're just casual acquaintances, then that's fine. If they're "close friends", you might want to consider whether they feel the same way about you.

People are so lazy. My tenneagers know how to make a damn pasta salad.

It ain't rocket science to boil some noodles, cut up some veggies, and toss them in Italian dressing.

Resers are known to be crap quality. Look for Mrs. Gerrys if possible

All potato salad is gross, but I'd imagine that store-bought tub would out-gross most other options.

This. Also, Fareway prepackaged salads are mostly okay. they are made with love by actual Fareway employees.
