The dish is usually made in large quantities for the whole party on occasions such as Christmas Eve.[3] It is eaten as a side dish or salad with fried meats or as an appetizer.
The name may suggest a French culinary influence as the word bœuf is French for beef. It closely resembles Olivier salad (Russian salad).[4][5]
