The "Russian Salad" on the menu is an appetizer that includes peas, potatoes, carrots and mayonnaise and costs 8 euros.
Reuters reported that the appearance of the dish made people "overwhelmed" because this NATO summit is about to declare Russia a "security threat".
The emergence of Russian salads at this moment is quite surprising to Western officials and reporters.
But even more surprising, because the dish was high in carbs and looked extremely tempting, it sold out within hours…

This menu also attracted the attention of netizens on Twitter, with some people saying, "Although we are at war with Russia, the food can be excluded."
There are also netizens leaving a message: What!
Is Russian salad also a threat to NATO?

Some netizens "corrected the name" of this dish: although it is called "Russian salad", it has nothing to do with Russia and is a common dish in Spanish restaurants.

Another netizen explained that delegates to the NATO summit enthusiastically chose this salad because they had to deal with the "sickening" situation in Russia and Ukraine.

"Russophobia" is almost crazy
Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Western countries have successively launched sanctions against Russia. Not only Russian cats and trees have been sanctioned, but even the Latin letter "Z" has not been spared.
The Russian media described that "the 'Russian phobia' in many European countries has reached an almost crazy level".
Now it seems that a salad has also become a "sensitive food" in the eyes of the Western media.
Although some netizens explained that this appetizer often appears in Spanish restaurants, it does not prevent the outside world from paying almost morbid attention to the word "Russia".
The picture shows that during the G7 summit, leaders of many countries talked about the shirtless photo of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

And just a few days ago, at a lunch meeting in Germany, G7 leaders were sitting around chatting together when they suddenly paid attention to an old photo of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson first asked: "Are you wearing a coat? Or take it off? Are we all taking off our coats?"
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said: "Let's talk about it after we have taken the official photos."
Johnson went on to quipped
:
"We have to show that we are stronger than Putin."
Trudeau then replied: "Are we going to do a shirtless horse show?"
European Commission President von der Leyen echoed: "Riding is the best."
Johnson added
:
"We have to show them our pecs."
Foreign media generally believe that Trudeau is referring to a 2009 photo of Putin on a shirtless horse.
Don't talk about international affairs and talk about Putin's "gossip"?
The remarks of the G7 leaders immediately aroused heated discussions among netizens.
Some netizens posted a comparison photo of Johnson and Putin, saying that the G7 leaders "laughed at Putin's shirtless riding photo, but Johnson will definitely win because his chest muscles are bigger."

Some netizens also complained that Johnson was too "obsessed" with Ukraine and Putin. "He is no longer interested in the UK and is happy to see fuel prices rising every day."

Some netizens commented, "They are preparing for a long-term conflict... Who is paying for these weapons?"

The G7 leaders suddenly "hyped up" Putin's old photos, no doubt wanting to show that they will "show their muscles" in solidarity and take a tough line against Russia.
In this regard, Putin made a light-hearted sentence: the West imposed unprecedented sanctions on Russia out of "Russophobia" "crazy and reckless", and Russia is capable of responding to any challenge.
But I don't know if this "Russian salad" will appear on the menu of the NATO summit tomorrow?
Maybe, maybe change the name to "Ukrainian Salad"...
