How did Olivier create his famous salad? 0 6

The "Olivier" salad was created in the 1860s by a French chef, Lucien Olivier, who managed the restaurant "Hermitage" located on Trubnaya Square. In fact, this establishment was not just a tavern, but one of the most prestigious restaurants in Paris. The "Olivier" salad quickly became the main highlight of the Hermitage's cuisine. Lucien Olivier carefully guarded the secrets of his recipe, and after his death, the original recipe was lost. Nevertheless, the main ingredients were known, and in 1904, the method of preparing this salad was successfully recreated.

Here are its ingredients: 2 woodcocks, veal tongue, a quarter pound of sturgeon caviar, half a pound of fresh lettuce, 25 boiled crayfish, half a jar of pickles, half a jar of Kabul soy, two fresh cucumbers, a quarter pound of capers, and 5 hard-boiled eggs. For the sauce: Provençal mayonnaise made with French vinegar from 2 eggs and 1 pound of Provençal (olive) oil.

However, according to connoisseurs, this salad significantly differed from its original.
