The story of one Herring under a fur coat - video recipes at home

In general, according to the rules of etiquette, there are three ways to communicate with herring.

The first - a vegetarian. Let her go to the blue sea, three wishes.

Second - Odessa. Buy it at "Privoz" and fool her head.

The third - the traditional. Bite it what you drink.

Perhaps for this and it came. But I do not answer. Herring, especially under a fur coat, a very mysterious person. Who, for example, knows where she bought his famous coat? There are two versions.

The first version - evolutionary. According to her, the only dish that is eaten in Russia since the days of the Nativity - the Herring under a fur coat. In Russia in general it was cool, so no one had not occurred to offer fish umbrella. Russian fur is famous for since ancient times all over Europe. Therefore, the fish offered a fur coat. Fur coat was decorated with various root vegetables, potatoes about then, as you know, even the speech was not about mayonnaise, too. Well, onion there morkovochka, the egg from hen Ryaba. In general, that was, what a shame to cover up. It was, so to speak, the prototype of the famous dress. Oh, and vodka then also did not exist. But rumors about the new-fangled invention, the enhanced use of the trade route from the Vikings to the Greeks, spread quickly throughout Europe. The British began to call him dressed herring or herring under a fur coat, French - Le hareng en fourrure, and the Spaniards were not able to translate and left as is - Sel'd 'Pod Shuboi. Following the trend of fashion, many designers are more and more varied basic model. Since 1765 appeared in Russia a potato, it was immediately sewn on the lining. At the beginning of the XIX century brought from France mayonnaise with him the coat has become glamorous.

And, of course, in the tradition of indisputable fashion houses specifically for the line "Shuba" a great perfumer our Dmitri Mendeleev released in 1865 spirits "Vodka". However, evil tongues say so far that it was a rip-off. The second version - a revolutionary. According to it, he created a fur coat for herring on the eve of the new 1919 Aristarchus Prokoptsev - cook restaurant owned by one of the Moscow merchants - Anastasia Bogomilovu. The merchant did not like that the revolutionary events provoke unrest with the smashing of dishes in its restaurant. He asked the chef to designate places in the ideological direction of the menu, so it is desirable to combine the guests and not to offend the new government. That is what the chef did. Each ingredient was symbolic of the new dishes: herring symbolize the proletariat, being one of the favorite dishes of the revolutionary class. Potatoes, carrots and onions - growing out of the ground - represented the peasantry. Beets became the red flag of revolution and French mayonnaise reminiscent of its predecessor - the fighters of the French Revolution. The name was appropriate: "chauvinism and The decline - Boycott and Anathema" and abbreviated - "U. S. BA ".

Salad liked visitors: they actively ate, got drunk less and less fighting.

It should be noted, however, that then began a long period of degradation of coats of models. He has been associated with excessive and infamous fashion mayonnaise. More recently, we have seen a situation in which not only a fur coat on herring, but also the diversity of the former kitchen has been reduced to mayonnaise with various fillings. The more the mayonnaise, the allegedly tastier.
