In Scandinavia we're used to food just coming with a salad at restaurants.
When my family visited me in England we had dinner together, and they moved their food around a bit, even lifting it, before their finally asked "Where's the salad?"
It's a shame because I love salad. In England you sometimes get a little salad garnish on the side, but most people don't eat it and it goes to waste. I suppose, therefore, that it's better if it is an optional extra so that salad isn't needlessly thrown away. Unfortunately, we're very much a salad-discarding nation, so I'm in a minority as somebody who enjoys, and has always eaten, salad.
