In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Khochyu olivye” is a common card of the Russian Memes pack, number 201 of the collection, and the 132nd best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Khochyu olivye” meme mean?
People use “Khotchiou olivie” to voice a sudden, slightly off-topic craving that interrupts an important conversation without warning. Olivier salad, a traditional Russian dish made of vegetables, meat and mayonnaise, is associated with holidays and comfort, which makes the interruption even funnier by contrast.
Where does the “Khochyu olivye” meme come from?
The meme spread starting in 2018 on the Runet (the Russian-language internet), built around a line expressing a craving for Olivier salad, an iconic Russian dish made of a mix of vegetables, meat, hard-boiled eggs and mayonnaise, commonly served during year-end holidays. The card dates the meme to 2018 and tags it as a Runet format; no specific origin video or source could be confirmed beyond that. The mismatch between a serious discussion and this harmless food craving drove the phrase’s popularity, reused for all kinds of off-topic interruptions.
How to use the “Khochyu olivye” meme
- To interrupt a serious discussion with an absurd craving: “By the way, khotchiou olivie.”
- As a caption for a holiday dinner table photo: “Khotchiou olivie, like every year.”
