Soviet feast

Olivier
Salad Olivier, also known as "Meat", aka "Capital". Unofficial King of the Soviet school of salads and grocery deficit - at least light fresh vegetables, mayonnaise maximum. Soviet version of this salad is different from the classic that grouse and other relics of the bourgeois past replaced (and now replaced) that managed to buy - namely, cooked sausage. However, it was his youth usually drags buckets from my grandmother's stocks at a party, where the kind of "food does not need", but something you need to have a snack liters of drinking



Mimosa
If a pair of spoons Olivier you still never give up, here's a mimosa - is the level of serious gourmets. It is not known who came up with that crushed egg yolk resembles mimosa petals. But we know that in a salad at the same time fit butter, canned fish, eggs and, of course, the sea of ​​mayonnaise.



Sprats
Canned smoked small fish oil - the number one snack on the good old New Year's table. Especially good were the sandwiches with them. A slice of lemon - required addition.



Herring under a fur coat
Another layered masterpiece, richly oiled you-know-what. Binding ingredients are herring, beets and potatoes, optionally supplemented boiled eggs, apples and carrots. The mere combination of salted fish and beet suggests the idea of ​​a holiday to the tune of suicide "Ironically».



Fish in aspic
The so-called filler (in fact, it can be not only fish) - one of the longest in the preparation of food and controversial Soviet New Year's table. Even if we accept the condition that the jelly fish can be delicious, it is necessary to do a very fine job, so it does not spoil the jelly - a too long cooking fish subsequently decays almost molecules (not fish in aspic, strychnine is some!).
In my opinion, the ideal filler for fish - perch, but in those days, again, enjoyed what was in store.



Stuffed chicken
Definitely, the closest to the international norms menu. We, however, believe that the bird can eat fried and not starting it with rice or buckwheat, but it's subtleties.



Soviet champagne
In fact, the history of the Soviet Champagne - a series of major technological achievements of the Soviet Union. Why is only one fact that in 1975 Moet purchased a license for production of sparkling wine on Soviet methods.



In bitch
Here, as with the monarchy in Britain - Champagne symbolizes the New Year, but we know that all the real work is done in the bitch. Just without sorokogradusnuyu elixir is unlikely to succeed to digest all the amount of mayonnaise and canned fish, which promised a traditional holiday table.



Napoleon
What is it - the dry, layered, pours on the table and clothes on? - That's right, Napoleon - the main confection in the Soviet New Year's table. Some grandmothers still own secret recipe for a really cool Napoleon, the taste and consistency is not reminiscent of papier-mache with cream.



Tangerines
Yes, this is one of several kinds of fruit, which the southern republics of the Soviet Union supplied the winter the whole country, and it would be strange not to include it in the New Year top. In addition, they are much nicer to have a snack in the * ku, than, say, pickles.
