message: I have heard that potato salad, I know not whether this refers to mayo-base or vinegar base, will become poisonous if you stick an aluminum spoon in it, and leave it in room temperature. This might be where the "poisonous potato salad at the picnic out in the sun" idea originated. I would very much appreciate it if a chemist would consider, and possibly include their input in this article. Anna Ammatzner (talk) 19:03, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Should the section about the ship be separated out from this page?  It's somewhat relevant, but perhaps it should just be linked to. 68.13.207.235 (talk) 20:42, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Here's the knowledge: it is a fictional ship that someone made a hoax website about it.  Later a wikipedia article was made for it, and deleted.  Now this is being added to this article and the List of mine warfare vessels of the United States Navy article. Rebelyell2006 (talk) 00:37, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

message: "In the Czech Republic and Slovakia, potato salad is a traditional Christmas meal."
right. but why only there? It's also a traditional Christmas meal in Germany. I am german and in most families people eat potato salad on Christmas eve mostly with wieners. so it's pretty odd why this isn't in the "Germany"-part of the article... I don't want to change it myself because I'm not a native speaker but I still think it's something really characteristic... --82.113.121.53 (talk) 21:31, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

message: There's no section on American style potato salad and its regional variants. I know here in North Carolina it's a very popular dish, especially with barbeque.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.109.111.223 (talk) 05:29, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: There's no mention of British style potato salad either! Used to be one of mum's favourite dishes for serving at a small dinner party because it was so quick and easy to prepare and everybody seemed to like it. Maybe it's just that British style potato salad isn't quite snobby enough for the true elitists of the Wikipedia set?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.146.87.11 (talk) 20:24, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  American-style? 

message: The article mentions the oil and vinegar version of German potato salad as common in southern Germany. I lived in southwestern Germany (Baden-Wuerttemberg) where the potato salad was indeed dressed with oil and vinegar, but no one I ever knew there nor in any restaurant I patronized in two years' sojourn there ever put bacon in their potato salad. I think there is some confusion here with the sweet-and-sour, bacony salad of, I believe, northern Germany. Please check this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wrstewart (talk • contribs) 01:33, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, not totally wrong. While a north German potato salad (with mayo) will always be served cold, the  southern German potato salad (never with mayo)I am used to is served warm, or at least luke warm.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.89.249.145 (talk) 13:10, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  German Potato Salad? 

message: I am not an expert on the subject, but this article seems to have been written from an american perspective. Some sources on the internet indicate that potato salad is originally a Czech dish, some indicate it originated from Poland. This article exclusively mentions Germany...
