The history of the emergence of salad - when and who invented

Many people call the salad shortly - "Shuba", believing that this word denotes a vegetable "blanket" that covers the herring. In fact, this is not the case. The history of the origin of the dish is very dramatic and is associated with epoch-making events for our country. A year after the revolution, back in 1918, passions continued to rage in society. Numerous questions about the social and political structure found a way out in drinking establishments and were not always resolved in a peaceful manner.

Any disputes ended in fights and smashing dishes.

The fights were accompanied by broken dishes and a damaged interior. The merchants were unhappy with the damage they inflicted. One of them, Anastas Bogomilov, tired of damage to property in his tavern, decided to offer his clients a dish that would remind them of the world. Its ingredients, as conceived by the creator, had symbolic meaning: herring personified the proletariat, potatoes, carrots and onions - the peasantry, beets - the red revolutionary banner, and mayonnaise served as a reminder of the bourgeois revolution in France.

Bogomilov's chef managed to successfully translate the idea into a dish presented to visitors exactly in 1919. It was highly appreciated and was named "SHUBA", where the letters are abbreviations and are deciphered as follows: "To chauvinism and decline - boycott and anathema." It was possible with the help of him to improve the situation with the fighters: while eating a hearty salad, the people got drunk more slowly and did not feel the desire to prove their case in hand-to-hand combat. Subsequently, the salad began to be called the way we used to - "Herring under a fur coat."

What is included in the classic composition, calorie content per 100 g

Traditional "Herring under a fur coat" is made from the following products:

• lightly salted herring;
• potatoes;
• carrot;
• beet;
• bulb onions;
• mayonnaise.

Vegetables are pre-boiled in a peel. Mayonnaise is usually the classic Provencal, although other varieties are acceptable, including light ones.

100 g of a cooked dish contains about 230 kcal, proteins are about 4 g, fats - about 20 g, carbohydrates - 6 g.

For the classic version, take boiled vegetables, herring and onions

When preparing a salad, it is allowed to replace herring with other types of fish. Lightly salted mackerel is well suited for this, many people like that salad with it becomes more nutritious. However, the calorie content also increases. You can replace herring with salted red fish: pink salmon, trout or salmon. The dish will also be very tasty, although somewhat different from the usual version.

But still, many fans remain faithful to the traditional "Herring under a fur coat", and it is very inexpensive.

How to choose, peel and cut herring for salad

For the preparation of the salad, high-quality, large herring is taken without damage. There should be no stains on the surface of the carcass. Of course, the fish should be of the first freshness. If she has cloudy eyes and dark gills, you shouldn't buy it.

Consider how fish is cut into fillets.

1. Using a sharp knife, cut the skin of the herring shallowly along the ridge, until you can cut off the head.

   

   Make an incision along the back of the fish

2. Picking up the skin with your fingers, carefully remove it from the entire carcass. Remove small superficial bones.
