Hi, Jenny! Of course you can pass my recipe and yes, for this salad we use raw salted herring.
According my nickname. It was just for fun and doesn't reflect my nature. Ah, blind me choosing that nickname, I completely forgot to think about men and didn't take into account their feelings.
Here it is quite popular and we have used it in different ways. May I introduce you with one of most popular herring salad here "Shuba" or "Herring under Fur Coat"?
"Herring under Fur Coat" served at nearly every special occasion in the post-Soviet space. It was first seen in the early days of the Soviet Union. However, what is most unusual about the salad is its bright purple color, which comes from the top layer of beets and mayonnaise. The story goes like this: Anastas Bogomilov, a merchant who owned cafes in Moscow and Tver, noticed that his customers would drink heavily and begin to debate the fate of the country in the early post-revolution months. These discussions often ended in fights, where Mr. Bogomilov's glasses and dishes were broken. A chef at one of his cafes offered to create a hearty snack, which would sober up the customers and thus reduce the number of fights. The result was ???? (Shuba). Now people call it ??????? ??? ?????, which literally means “herring under a fur coat.” As the top layer is made of shredded beets, the dish indeed have a passably "furry" appearance.
Ingredients 2 large, salted fatty herring 3-4 potatoes 2 large beets 2 large carrots 1 medium onion 3 egg yolks (for decoration) Mayonnaise Steps 1. Wash and boil the potatoes, beets, and carrots with the skins on until tender. 2. Remove the herring's skin, bones, cut into fillets, and then into small cubes. 3. Choose a large serving plate or bowl and moisten with water. 4. Evenly spread out the herring on the serving plate or in the bowl. 5. Peel and very finely shred the onion. Then, dip it into boiling water. Drain the water and place the onion on top of the fish. 6. Cover this layer with a generous amount of mayonnaise. 7. Finely cube the potatoes and use them to form the next layer. 8. Crisscross the salad with thin strips of mayonnaise. 9. Coarsely grate the carrots and beets into separate piles. 10. Spread the grated carrots over mayonnaise net. 11. For the final layer, place the beets on top and cover in an even, generous amount of mayonnaise. 12. On the top of the salad, crumble boiled egg or decorate the salad with carrot roses, herbs, etc. 13. Cover with a lid or saran wrap and place the salad in the refrigerator for several hours before serving.
Most of the time, here on CS, I am just silent observer. (I like observe people action and reaction.) But .... in real life I am an angel with slightly shabby wings.
P.S. One of my motto is - Never say something bad about yourself. Let it do to others, who will do it with bigger pleasure and better, than you. :)) So, it's me.
That's reminded me one King monologue from old movie. - I am not to blame. - Blame my ancestors. - Great grandfathers, grand uncles, all sorts of aunts, forefathers and foremothers... - They always behaved like complete pigs and now I have pay for their past. - But I ... I am kind and gentle by nature, I am into poetry, prose and art..
It is hard to make such kind of definition as "normal person".
Now "normal person" is who consider itself as who is not different from the others, that is, "normal" - or such "like everyone else". It turns out that we have guided by the "principle of the majority" ("the opinion of the crowd") in determining towards of the normality, and that is not correct.
Therefore in my opinion not always majority is synonym of normality.
For us it seems that normal person is someone who corresponds to our perception of the world, of our notion what is right and what is wrong, what is good or what is bad.
