          Every country in the world has its own cuisine. Among most popular components of Russian dishes are: potato, eggs, butter, bread, and meat. Very popular are milk products like sour cream, and curds; as well as fresh fruit and vegetables. Russian cuisine enjoys quite a number of authentic national dishes for every part of a meal, be it appetizers, soups, main courses, desserts, or beverages. Appetizers are usually served before main courses. We often start our meals with various salads. I would say that medley (vinegret) is probably loved by everybody in Russia.
          To cook medley, we mix boiled potato, carrot, and beet as well as salted cucumbers chopped in more or less equal cube-like pieces and add oil.
For many festive occasions, we cook so called “seledka pod shuboi”, or herring under coat.
        To make it, one has to boil potato, carrot, and beet; then grate all these ingredients and place them on a plate in layers covering a layer of chopped herring and finally dress it with mayonnaise. This salad is an extremely popular New Year dish.
