saladfortnight
/ˈsælədˈfɔːtnaɪt/nounVerified NewAlso in: Salatvierzehner (Deutsch) · salaquincena (Español) · saladinzaine (Français)
The brief annual period, usually in January, during which the household eats only salads with real conviction.
The saladfortnight begins with a shopping trip of leaves and virtue and ends, on schedule, in a stew. During it the household speaks of crunch and energy, and the fridge is briefly magnificent. The fortnight's collapse is not a failure but a season, and its return is already calendared for next year.
Etym. — salad + fortnight — the two-week republic of greens.
Rel. — saladregret · mealprepmonastery
