Their "Salad" of a potato in mayonnaise was a little weird,
That's Oliver salad.  :mad:

It is essentially potato salad.  The Spanish make a variation called Ensalada Rusa.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

So good you'll pick a pocket or two for it!

(I think it's usually transliterated as "Olivier" salad.)

By the choices, fucking none of those. Peasant foods all.

Surprise you didnt add the Hungarians and their shit beet stew or whatever they call it.

Man, most of what we think of as high-quality today started as peasant food somewhere before the time of refrigeration.


All kinds of charcuterie like Jamon Iberico, salumi, cassoulet, wurst, Smithfield hams, etc.

And the undesirable parts of things that were left over after the good stuff was sold like brisket for BBQ, which is now ironically a highly desired cut.

While goulash is indeed awesome, it would only be even awesomer with beets. :mmm:

Ensaladilla rusa (for some reason we use the diminutive form).
