(CNN)The White House press secretary tried to twist a cap on reporters' questions Tuesday about the Trump team's alleged ties to the Kremlin.

"If the President puts Russian salad dressing on his salad tonight, somehow that's a Russia connection," Sean Spicer said.

Thing is, Russian dressing isn't Russian. (Also, it's really not for salads, but more of a sandwich spread -- usually a Reuben.)

The mayo and ketchup concoction -- often dressed up with horseradish and spices -- was created in Nashua, New Hampshire.

1. I like bleu cheese, ranch, and ginger better.

2. Someone on this forum suggested changing the name to"republican" dressing

I think that's a better name for it.

I'm sure it tastes great with their freedom fries.

3. I refuse

any condiment or sauce or dressing that has anything to do with ketchup and mayo...disgusting things.

I like olive oil and vinegar on my salads, mustard on sandwiches, and that's about it.

I love Reubens, but always ask them to leave the thousand island off. Mustard.

Dressing. French fries. Whatever.

Spicer...he, Trump, and the rest belong in the garbage with the ketchup and mayo.

7. Your open-mindedness -

Is noted.

4. You can clearly imagine the meeting that spawned the "Russian dressing" joke

I can see them all high-fiving each other's brilliance, and you could hear it in Spicer's raspy, self-congratulating tone. I'm sure that the idiot 30% thought it was very witty, too.


A better joke would have been "If this President watched The Deer Hunter, Democrats would claim there was a Russia connection."

5. You just ruined my life, I hate mayo. I did not want to know that it is in Russian dressing. Boooo!

8. And sometimes they put caviar in it!

6. It is disgusting

I would feel guilty feeding it to barn mice

9. Russian is gross, I prefer French on vegetable salads

French is a nice change of pace. Russian was a homemade version that I sometimes made as a kid, but wouldn't touch as an adult. Actually it was thousand island that I made (ketchup, mayo, relish), similar though.
