• In France and US restaurants (but not at home or when eating fast food), the salad is served before the main course as a kind of appetizer;

• In Portugal, lettuce salad (and its variants) is served as an accompaniment to the main course, while the first course is often soup;

• In Mozambique, many poor urban people eat only one salad as their main meal of the day; Salad as a main meal is also becoming common in industrialized countries, but as a way of varying the diet, there are even restaurants serving exclusively salads.
