Olivier is a staple festive salad in Russia and across Eastern Europe, typically made with potatoes, pickles, eggs, peas and mayonnaise, so adding sweet apple sparks strong opinions. Clips of home cooking and recipe debates helped spread the sound beyond food pages, where it now works as a shorthand protest whenever a beloved classic is altered in a way fans consider wrong.
