Street food Olivier Salad — the authentic version

The best Olivier Salad I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The subtly sour from fermentation intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. pickled vegetables was used without hesitation, the way it should be.

the Russian tea tradition using a samovar is centuries old and central to social hospitality. The a family New Year table setting meant eating standing up or on a low stool, which is how this food is supposed to be encountered. black tea from a samovar was sold right next to it.
