Well, that's the special Russian twist for ya. There is a salad, called 'olivie', which is a sort of potato salad. It's an obligatory item in any Russian holiday meal. And my mother sends me to a store every friggin' time in the last moment because she'd friggin' half of a can short of it! So I bought 10 this time out of sheer irritation.

But of course the casher didn't know that. :)
