Is this similiar to salad that is commonly served in Greece? As an American, I always hear that the international food I eat (for example Chinese) is nothing like what they eat in that particular country. ike9898 19:40, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)

By the way, tomatoes are not 'of Greek origin'. There were NO tomatoes in Europe until they were brought from the New World in the 16th century. Hard to believe, but it's true. Never the less, the are good on a Greek salad! ike9898 20:24, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)

The peanut in Thai cuisine is another interesting one. That's why you can get authentic Thai food but not much traditional Thai food. Ari 03:20, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup and usage

OK, I tried to clarify some of the usage issues, add some further info, cite sources, etc. While I'm quite familiar with both the American and the Greek versions, I don't really know about other anglophone usage. If there are any Aussies in particular who can comment, that'd be great, as I have no idea what is normally meant by "Greek salad" in the Antipodes. I'm not sure on British or South African usage either. Tkinias 13:35, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Doh! It just occurred to me to use my head (i.e. Google it with "inurl:.au" etc.). Aussies use the American version. Brits too, it looks like. Tkinias 13:39, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
