It’s certain that fine women eat
A crazy salad with their meat.

These lines read as a wry, epigrammatic observation about “fine women” (socially refined, fashionable women) and their taste for something “crazy” or unconventional alongside the ordinary (“with their meat”). The juxtaposition of “fine” and “crazy” suggests Yeats’s recurring interest in the tension between decorum and disruptive vitality—how cultivated surfaces can coexist with, or even require, a dash of irrationality, passion, or eccentricity. The “salad” functions as a metaphor for a sharp, mixed, perhaps unsettling element added to conventional fare, implying that sophistication is not pure restraint but a compound of order and wildness.
