Article name

Is "Russian salad" the common name for this salad in English? Is there even a common name in English? i.e., is this even a commonly known dish in the English speaking world? If it's not commonly known, let's not hamfistedly force the topic under "Russian salad"; I would propose using Salad Olivier.

Virtually all speakers of European languages whom I know universally refer to this salad as "Russian salad", not "Olivier salad". I think that "Russian salad" is a very adequate way of naming the article, as the name is well known outside of Russia, though inside Russia, it's always referred to as "Olivier salad" ("Салат Оливье"). --Ericdn (talk) 11:52, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the picture of the salad in the article is mostly lettuce. I don't think this would be a typical Salad Olivier. Ufwuct (talk) 22:49, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, what's up with that photo? That's not Salade Olivier, or at least it's a far cry from "typical." Too bad I just finished eating it, otherwise I'd take a picture. Sovietbot (talk) 22:26, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, keep that in mind the next time you're near one with a camera. Meanwhile, I have changed the caption a bit. --Illythr (talk) 19:31, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Timeframe

"At the turn of the 19th century, one of Olivier's sous-chefs, Ivan Ivanov, attempted to steal the recipe." Shouldn't it be the turn of the 20th century, if it was in fact stolen in the late 1800's? As it is written, to me, means late 1700s or early 1800s, which doesn't match with the dates provided in the article. Mcrabb23 (talk) 04:02, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
