Herring under a fur coat: Russia's most badass salad 😈

A nightmare for all foreigners. A mayonnaise dish you would either hate or love. And an absolute must on the Russian New Year table.

Actually, it's just really salted herring which layered with vegetables.

The secret is in the order of layers. Russian chefs and housewives would argue what goes next to what. But the most popular order is:
🐠 Finely chopped herring,
🧅 sliced onion,
🥔 boiled and grinded potatoes,
🥕 boiled and grinded carrot,
🍳 boiled and sliced egg,
😈 boiled and grinded beetroot.
And the most important thing is to drizzle each layer with mayonnaise.

The latest joke is when Gen-Z asks where to buy pink mayo for the top layer... (The beet gives the color, guys).
There is a legend that this salad was created after the 1917 revolution and each layer had a particular meaning: beetroot symbolized the revolution; carrots and onions - the peasantry; and herring - the proletariat.
Have you tried it? Or would you dare?

👫 Friend

Caesar had only one person he trusted and considered a friend: his physician. Moreover, when he was ill, he would only take medicine if the physician personally administered it to him. 💊😷

One day, when Caesar was not feeling very well, he received an anonymous note: "Beware of your closest friend, your physician. He wants to poison you!" 📜😱

After some time, the physician arrived and gave Caesar his medicine. Caesar handed the note he had received to his friend and, while the physician was reading it, he drank every last drop of the medicinal mixture. 💧🤯

The physician froze in horror:

"Master, how could you drink what I gave you after reading this?"

To which Caesar replied:

"I'd rather die than doubt my friend!" 💪🤝
