M-m-m... I like "herring under a fur coat" and "holodetz" and Olivier salad which is a traditional dish at New Year's eve celebrations - this is a name of a french-born restaurant owner who invented this salad. Legend says that he actually took leftovers from other dishes he prepared for the high-born and threw them together as a salad to feed their valets and carriage drivers. But the fact is that original Olivier salad was much different from what it is now - in soviet times some more exotic ingredients were replaced with more mundane ones.
Like all dishes with mayonnaise and meat etc. they have to be prepared right. They are very easy to ruin. As a rule - you should only eat them at someone's home. I won't ever order them at a restaurant.
Vareniki and Pelmeni (same but with minced meat) are really nice and popular. Great solution when you need something fast. You keep them frozen and just boil for 12 min. and you have a dinner.
Blini w/Caviar (or without) are a treat when my mom makes them :-) You can eat bliny with anything sweet, also with smoked salmon, grated cheese, and of course with caviar if you like it (I do).
I don't like marinated herring, but I love low-salted herring. Hard to find in North America I guess.
