STARTER:    Egg Salad Sandwich with Tomato, Chives & Parsley

The egg salad sandwich likely originated in late 19th–early 20th century Europe and the U.S., when chopped boiled eggs mixed with mayonnaise became popular. It spread quickly as a cheap, protein-rich lunch, especially in American delis and lunchboxes. Your version with tomato, chives, and parsley is a fresh modern twist.

MAIN COURSE:    Grandma’s Yeast Fritters (Oladyi)

Grandma’s yeast fritters (дрожжевые оладьи) come from traditional Russian home cooking and are common throughout Eastern Europe. They were especially popular in village households, where yeast doughs were everyday food and ingredients like flour, milk (or water), and oil were always on hand. These fritters were often made on weekends or for holidays, served warm with sour cream, honey, jam, or sugar.

DESSERT:    Croissants

Croissants, though famously French, actually trace their roots to Vienna, Austria! Their ancestor is the kipferl, a crescent-shaped pastry that dates back to at least the 13th century. Legend says Viennese bakers created it to celebrate the defeat of the Ottoman Turks — the crescent shape imitating the symbol on the Ottoman flag.
