Russian Salad Shocks NATO Summit in Madrid

According to Reuters, Western officials and journalists were shocked by the appearance of a dish called Russian Potato Salad on the menu of the restaurant serving the NATO summit in Madrid. Participants noted that the Russian dish was at the top of the menu and was priced at eight euros per serving. The salad consists of peas, potatoes, carrots, and mayonnaise. In this regard, journalist Iñaki López stated, "Russian salad at a NATO summit? I'm somewhat surprised by the choice of this dish." The article's authors pointed out that "Russian salad" caused confusion due to the participants' plans to officially label Russia as a "threat" to NATO. Nevertheless, the high carbohydrate content of the dish was deemed more significant than its controversial name, and it was sold out within two hours. The NATO summit in Madrid opened on Tuesday, and member states reportedly plan to adopt a new strategy that will classify Russia as a "direct threat to collective security."
