Sliced sausage on the festive table - where does it come from?
Adults and elderly people who were born during the Soviet era, when asked whether a festive table can do without sliced sausage, will answer no. In the Soviet Union, cold cuts were the main snack dish. This spoke of the family's wealth and good manners. Today, you can do without slicing sausage. It should be noted that during the Soviet Union, sausage was of higher quality, made from natural meat. Now, to buy a really good sausage, be it smoked or cooked, you need to pay more money than a kilogram of pork.
