Hello, comrades!
Today we have a certain regret of our relatives and cozy feasts — a herring under a fur coat!
What to say? Naturally, delicious. Of course, childhood memories. New Year, guests, festive table. This salad was always perceived by me as a kind of cake among snacks. Either because of the layered nature and shape, or because of the spatula that was laid out on plates, so as not to damage the divine structure.
Well, where, without a legend, according to which, supposedly on New Year's Eve on the eve of 1919, this salad was first served in one of the taverns of the merchant Anastas Bogomilov. This dish was invented in order to solve one sensitive problem. At that time, in the taverns, people often got drunk in firewood and began to argue on political topics in the spirit of time. Naturally, the discussion often passed from the purely intellectual sphere to material and opponents began, forgive my French, to clean each other snouts. Well, as usual, it did not do without beating dishes, breaking furniture and causing a fair loss of the institution.
Then our merchant came up with the idea to create a “folk salad”, which would be a hearty snack, which, as you know, the degree steals, and a symbol of unity of all layers of society.
The main ingredient was the herring — the food of the proletarians. The peasantry symbolized potatoes, carrots and onions, and on top everything was covered with a red layer of grated beets, like a banner of the revolution. And in order not to forget about the enemies of the young country of the Soviets, everything was generously flavored with the “states” mayonnaise.
The name salad was given to the corresponding: “Shovinism and decline — boycott and anathema”, in the abbreviation, simply “Sh.U.B.A.”.
The salad became very popular among the regulars of the drinking establishments and, characteristic, performed the tasks for which it was created — the fights became really less. The people actively bite the vodka with this satisfying work of revolutionary culinary art, drunk less and behaved more decent. Subsequently, the grateful compatriots of Atanas forgot, and the salad became known as the «Herring under the fur coat.»
It seems that this is nothing more than a beautiful story, but the salad without it deserves the most close attention and veneration).
