  1. It is called Olivye here, but as I have found out on many occasions, due to some reason in some regions of Georgia they call this Vinigret and call the actual Vinigret – Olivye. I have no idea why the mix-up happened though.

  2. Recently found out that in France, where the salad was originally ripped off from, they call this “Russian salad” 😂

    In Turkey I saw it called “Russian salad” or even “American salad”(!!!) depending on who they wanted to blame.

  4. In Russia it depends on kind of meat in it. Stolichny, Moskovsky, Olivye. Chicken, Beef, Sausiges, you name it

  5. In Romanian we call it “Salată Beouf”

    Boiled potatoes, pickles, olives (sometimes peas and meat) mixed with mayonaise. For us, it’s the traditional Christmas salad.

  6. In UK a lot of people call it “potato salad” or “Polish salad”(since it’s sold in Polish section).
