Not sure how Italy feels about this one, but had to try.

My dad always bought this when we were in Finland but as I am allergic to egg I never got to try, found one now without egg! Do you like it? Is it Italy in a salad?
It’s closer to a [Russian salad i.e. Olivier salad](https://eatingeuropean.com/russian-salad-olivier-salad/) – but the potatoes are replaced with bits of spaghetti. As close to Italian as a Lada with some spaghetti in it is to a Lamborghini.
Did you get that, in exchange for offering the Italian’s exposure on the internet?

I bought three from sale once from different manufacturer because I was so fucked up. Absolutely revolting. Threw first one into trash. My friend ate second the next day, said “it is okay”. I don’t remember what happened to third one but sure as hell did not eat it or take it with me.
We Italians call it Russian salad, so not our problem 😁
