Deep into centuries or who invented "Olivier"

Although this salad is considered to be Soviet, in fact, the "parent" of this salad is the French cook L. Volivier (in his honor and named Salad). In the middle of the century, he worked at the Hermitage Hotel, which was located in Moscow. It was he who, working as a cook, filed a first snack called Olivier - meat Lukoshko, which consisted of:

• boiled potatoes;
• eggs;
• kornishonov;
• capers;
• maslin.

All this was poured by the author's delicious mayonnaise, whose recipe was held in strict secrecy. Over time, Russian chefs adapted this snack for our products and the mentality of the Russian people. So appeared in Soviet times the recipe for salad with boiled sausage. It is this option that has the original Soviet roots.
