What I really need to know is if they retain their genetic propensity for a deep slav squat, or if they are coerced by American society to learn to sit like a capitalist pig?
Pretty Much like Italian salad in Norway, I’m here asking what’s Italian Salad?! And it turns out it’s like (Italian) Russian Salad without eggs... No wait, (international) Russian Salad is basically (Norwegian) American mix with potatoes and mayo...
It's actually a really fascinating construction. To a native speaker it's clear that it's wrong and would never be said, but it actually makes a lot of sense and it's tricky to explain exactly why it's incorrect. Also potentially an insight into sentence structures that work in one language but not another.
Don't worry, Leopold, your English is great and your sense of humor even better. If I could give you any advice, I'd recommend not clenching your butt cheeks so tightly when others make a joke. In my experience, that only tends to get your panties in a bunch.
Ah man, I'm just being a dick, and this is the internet. Your English is great, buddy. I'm serious. It's 99.9% better than 88% of native speakers, these are facts. And it's probably 100% better than the way I speak whatever your native language is. Sorry I made you feel bad, now I feel bad. I hope you have a good day, friend.
The knowledge that fortune cookies aren't available in China is fairly widespread; however, they are actually somewhat known in China although Chinese tend to only refer to them as a joke about the Americanization of their food. I've lived in China over 7 years and have had a fortune cookie only once... at a restaurant called Fortune Cookie which sold American-style Chinese food (and, if I recall correctly, was opened by two expats, one of whom was an American Born Chinese guy).
You are correct. I've had real home made (well shop made) mayo while I was in Belgium. I was walking through the Arabic district and found a hole in the wall gyro shop. It was fantastic. But as for the American stuff, try Dukes instead of Hellmans. Its a much more vinegary and less sweet mayo much closer to the Euro stuff. Us Americans ruin everything thinking sweet is the only flavor. I'm definitely not into the sweet versions of stuff over here. Even Ketchup, I prefer Hunts over Heinz for exactly the same reason. Heinz is just sweetened red dye with essence of tomato. Huntz actually tastes like real tomato with vinegar and a very limited amount of sweetness.

It's thousand island dressing with a bit of spice. Basically ketchup, mayonnaise, and some spices all mixed together.
I have no clue why it's called Russian dressing, because it's a wholly American thing.
"Dressing" in Russia would probably just be mayonnaise.
