History
Russian clothes were mentioned in early 1900 in American sources. It is also documented in the 1910 catering book as an alternative to vinaigrette for tomato sauce or asparagus. A 1913 cookbook has a recipe which is a vinaigrette with peppers and mustard. The mayonnaise-based recipe is documented in 1914.
Local historians claim that the mayonnaise-based version was found in Nashua, New Hampshire, by James E. Colburn in the 1910s. A 1927 biography article called him "the originator and first producer of delicious seasonings known as Russian salad dressing". Colburn has been selling "Colonna Mayonese salad dressing" in his shop since at least 1910.
Of course in 1914, the Colburn company produced it, and distributed it to retailers and hotels. He earned enough of his sales that he retired in 1924.
Not known either in traditional or modern Russian cuisine.
