It was a good article. You are to be commended.<br /><br />I was not aware that in Europe, "almost any salad that combines mixed veggies, meat, and mayo is called Russian salad." If I'd known that, I'd have suspected the Russian history of chicken salad. <br /><br />I strive to continually be interesting, even when I'm not doing much cooking. Thanks for stopping by, and take care.Cathy Raymondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04580681386443534011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2032365360611242433.post-15283661100770113992010-07-18T00:48:21.647-04:002010-07-18T00:48:21.647-04:00Greetings, Cathy.
How lovely to discover your bl...Greetings, Cathy. <br /><br />How lovely to discover your blog. I, too, love all things historic and culinary. In fact, that's how I found you -- you linked to my article on Russian chicken salad. Thanks.<br /><br />As for the Russian derivation of mayonnaise-based salads, in Europe, almost any salad that combines mixed veggies, meat, and mayo is called Russian salad. Even today, chopped stuff with mayo is the most common salad in Russia.<br /><br />I will say that, even though I love capers and olives, I don't usually go to all the trouble of making a Salat Oliviye, sticking with the simpler American-style with which I grew up. But it's fun to for parties.<br /><br />I look forward to checking in regularly and find out what you are discovering.<br /><br />Happy hunting.<br /><br />CynthiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
