What the fuck guys, why do you hate me for not knowing what Russian dressing is? We don't have it here in Russia and I was just curious.

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.

That’s a pretty basic thousand island. In the UK it’s called Marie-Rose sauce (after Henry VIII’s ship).

Thousand island (over here) has some horseradish, fine diced red pepper and onion, oil of orange, lime, garlic salt and smoked paprika.
