The original herring under a fur coat is one of the many options for preparing a festive salad dearly beloved by the people. They say that it was invented at the beginning of the 19th century so that a decent, but at the same time inexpensive, vodka snack appeared in taverns. And what could be simpler than a set "potato-beet-herring" ?! So it was decided to lay out these simple ingredients in layers, season with onions and serve them to the suffering. Of course, the salad was not seasoned with mayonnaise: it appeared in the dish much later, in about the 50s of the XX century. Well, it is not known for certain how a herring under a fur coat, seemingly, so unpretentious, artless, acquired the status of a festive one. However, the fact that in our time without this snack it is very difficult to imagine a festive, and especially a New Year's feast, is an indisputable fact!
