"This nuttily named potato salad actually has a long and distinguished history, and it did indeed contain beef when it was originated in 19th century Russia by a French chef. Now the version that has come down to us via this Romanian restaurant has potatoes, diced veggies, and slivers of chicken, with mayo, mayo, and more mayo. No two substances love each other better than potatoes and mayonnaise, as this wonderful dish demonstrates, and the pickle and olive garnishes add sour and salty highlights." - Robert Sietsema
