[edit] I love potato salad.

Good work everyone, this article is delicious and well-written. (Pygmypony 06:01, 12 April 2006 (UTC))

I was just enjoying a nice bowl of potato salad (the diced, with mayonnaise, celery, and onion variety) myself, and had to look to the insight of Wikipedia on the subject. Once again I find another well-done article, which makes the dish that much more tasty. (--iignotus)

Same! I wonder how many people who read the potato salad on Wikipedia are eating potato salad at the time... --80.193.161.155 15:28, 6 August 2006 (UTC) (that was me - wikipedia keeps logging me out for some reason).

I'm not eating it now, but I will be in about half an hour... Hakluyt bean 18:21, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Aluminum spoons?

I have heard that potato salad, I know not whether this refers to mayo-base or vinegar base, will become poisonous if you stick an aluminum spoon in it, and leave it in room temperature. This might be where the "poisonous potato salad at the picnic out in the sun" idea originated. I would very much appreciate it if a chemist would consider, and possibly include their input in this article. Anna Ammatzner (talk) 19:03, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ship

Should the section about the ship be separated out from this page? It's somewhat relevant, but perhaps it should just be linked to. 68.13.207.235 (talk) 20:42, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

The site that would be the Wikipedia entry for the ship has been replaced by a blind redirect here. I didn't do this, I'm curious why it was done. 24.145.143.12 (talk) 00:33, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

The "ship" USS Potato Salad is just an internet hoax. Rebelyell2006 (talk) 13:35, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I can't find anything else about it. Can anyone with knowledge of the ship confirm its existence? 68.13.207.235 (talk) 22:03, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Here's the knowledge: it is a fictional ship that someone made a hoax website about it. Later a wikipedia article was made for it, and deleted. Now this is being added to this article and the List of mine warfare vessels of the United States Navy article. Rebelyell2006 (talk) 00:37, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
