Ruso-think

 

Putin recently on Isis-K attacks in Moscow

Another curious thing I've noticed in Spain is that everywhere in Spain I have been able to walk about, Russian salad, is available as a kind of tapa entree at basically any bar with beer. Even just as a mouthful aperatif on a tiny plate with a solitary crust of bread. This will likely be provided to you anywhere in Spain for free as a side to a beer. Often a beer in Spain is a very healthy amount of beer like a quarter litre. Which, if you only drank one a day, you would actually be helping your liver according to various scientific studies based on the positive and healthy effects of beer when drunk correctly.

In fact, Spain is one of the few countries in the world where eighteen and even seventeen year old kids can order a small portion of beer in this wise, at a campus bar. In high school.


Russian salad itself is actually originally from Russia and is a staple meal in Russia I believe. Made from mayonnaise, potatoes, asparagus, etc. You absolutely do not need to go through Russia to have it available as I imagine it's probably more available in Spain. How it became so, I don't know, but it just is.


Anyway, some of my gardening customers, an Israeli couple who migrated to Australia like so many others. With a couple of kids around the age of aforementioned Spanish high schoolers, I was talking to the dad, who is free from Russia originally I think. I think his wife was born in Israel. Anyway the husband being from Russia, his worldview is very Russian. I understand from my travels and studies, it's sometimes better to stick to your guns and believe what you believe even if it looks like 'bunk' (rot/rubbish), than not believe in anything apart from hypocritical rot, or a false sense of liberalism. I won't use the word 'bourgeous', so beloved of Marxist Bolsheviks.

Anyway my customer and I were able to agree to disagree without damaging our client/gardener relationship, not only on Russia/Ukraine but post 1947 Zionism. Agree to disagree, focus on having a good client gardener relationship.

I still remember my mother making Russian salad and my sisters discussing how to make the mayonnaise for it (separate yolk from egg white). 


The egg whites, as discussed on this blog, were used in the pre industrial era as a kind of varnish to protect paintings, eg, the Mona Lisa.


Well having mentioned aforementioned two sisters and mom, I can assure you I completely understand what my, now deceased, brother Joseph Stalin (not his real actual name), meant, when he referred to Putin as a dickhead, with a kind of disgust.


I doubt Isis K was getting help from the Ukrainians.
