Ensalada Cobb


Explanation:
Cobb es un nombre propio, de quien creó la ensalada.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobb_salad
The Cobb salad was a signature menu item of the Brown Derby, a landmark restaurant in Los Angeles, California. The salad is now served in restaurants world-wide. It generally consists of finely chopped lettuce, avocado, tomato, chicken or turkey, hard boiled eggs, bacon, grated blue cheese, and French dressing.

In 1937, *****Brown Derby owner Robert H. Cobb***** went into the restaurant's kitchen to fix himself a late night snack. He combed the refrigerator for what ingredients he could find, chopped them up and made himself a salad. Cobb shared the new creation with his friends and it became popular enough to be added to the restaurant's menu.
