It’s one thing to think of salad as a fresh, healthy food. But we’ve all had the experience of opening the fridge, only to find that the lettuce is brown, the tomatoes are old, and the cucumbers are mushy. It’s enough to take away your appetite. It doesn’t matter what language you are using, that kind of food is gross.

B: Não tem ainda aquela maionese na geladeira.

A: Olha, até tem, mas já faz um tempão que a gente guardou ela, então eu nem sei se ela tá boa ainda.
