Aer Lingus can do it. <br /><br />Here on the north shore of Long Island there is a legendary Jewish restaurant/deli that has Caesar Salad on its dinner menu. However, as the place is kosher (meat), there is no parmesan cheese on the salad, which is merely a heap of chopped-up romaine lettuce, upon which is littered many bits of cherry tomatoes, and the dressing is green and full of dill. I wanted to bitch about it but my husband asked me to not make a scene, but I think it is immoral and it should be illegal to advertise a "Casaer salad" (or a "martini") when you have no intention of delivering anything remotely akin.<br /><br />Reminds me, I have a Yelp! review to write.<br /><br />Great pineapple.
