Kerala Eatery Junking Russian Salad Off Menu in Solidarity With Ukraine Divides Twitter

A Kerala restaurant has decided to junk a Russian salad off its menu after the country’s invasion of Ukraine. A restaurant in Fort Kochi called Kashi Art Café removed Russian salad from its menu in solidarity with Ukraine, reports Free Press Journal. A notice put out in front of the cafe reads, “In solidarity with the people of Ukraine, we have removed ‘RUSSIAN SALAD’ from our menu.” The owner of the restaurant said that it was their way of condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Opinion on social media has been varying on different aspects when it comes to the growing number of Russian products being sanctioned in different countries. This move by the Kerala restaurant has similarly drawn conjecture on social media platforms. While many have praised the anti-war gesture, others have called it a futile sanction.

“Russian salad off the menu too. This appears to be from the Kashi art cafe in Kochi, Kerala. A really nice place that I’ve been to many times over the years. Sincere, perhaps, but totally ridiculous,” a Twitter user wrote.
