Me Mam uses it, but I think it has the same meaning as “fur coat and no knickers”. She’s from SR3.
Same here. Choppy up salad it was known as in our house. Served with lamb and beef.
This might be it.
Meaning that person and hard work don't mix.
Like oil and water.
Still an absolutely ridiculous expression though
Durham salad is mint sauce ( mint and vinegar) with spring onions added.

Yes that's on it's way to Yorkshire salad.

I was just checking through the posts to see if you'd flown the Durham Salad flag yet - I remember we've talked about this before.
Has to be non-brewed condiment rather than 'vinegar' for me. And no sugar, I know some silly buggers did this. We just used to call it 'mint' in our house, both as a noun and as I've come to realise, an adjective.
Add a bit of sugar... Was just known as Salad in ours..
My sister in law chops some radish finely into it.. don't know why as it adds nowt but does look a bit more aesthetically pleasing

I think, as I do every time this thread crops up, I'll get myself to the shops and get the ingredients to make some today. It's been a little while.
I don't think I've made any this year... Great on bacon, new potatoes and spring greens
