I feel like I need a full phylogeny to figure out where this evolutionary line split of from the rest of the "salads" 😂 This is also such a bizarre English language thing to me. But then again, I shouldn't complain as there is 'Wurstsalat' (sausage salad) and similar in German.

omg! I'm going to look this up tomorrow because my imagination is going places I am not prepared to have validated right now.
