I am obsessed with Victory Day salads (‘for men’). I think it is a combination of sincere effort and inappropriateness as a means of commemoration/celebration
Some selected pictures:
1/ Standard ‘Tank’ Salad
2/ Red Star Tank Salad
Can you imagine the amount of mayonnaise that goes into this!?
3/ 9th May Salad with St George’s Ribbon
4/ Soldier in the Trenches Salad
5/ Woohoo Kremlin, Fireworks and Day of Commemorating Horrific War and Mass Death Salad
6/ Tank Shooting a Parachutist Salad
7/ Battleship Salad 🥗
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find my favourite salad: ‘the mass grave salad’. Dr James Rann featured it in a great article on Russian salads but the link doesn’t work now.
So instead, here’s a St George’s Ribbon ‘Victory Day’ sushi roll
8/ I have now found a photo of the mass grave salad thanks to @venturecommunis
The fake gun (apparently made out of ribbons by the salad maker’s son) is a lovely touch
