This is a take on a classic Russian salad «Herring under coat» which is a must-dish for every New Year celebration in many of the post-Soviet countries. There is also a vegetarian version of this salad called “Sea under coat”, where the herring is replaced by seaweed and eggs are omitted or replaced by avocado. In spring of 2010 “Herring under coat” was marked in a culinary history. A Russian city of Kaliningrad was celebrating a Day of Herring, and the cooks of the city prepared the salad weighing 488 kg with the length of about 11.8 meters. They used 50 kg of herring, 98 kg of beetroot, 94 kg of carrots, 158 kg of potatoes, 720 eggs and 50 kg of mayonnaise. Chefs from six restaurants worked to create this dish, and more than 4.5 thousand people where able to try and enjoy its taste.
