Russians actually call russian salad “olivier”, after the guy who made it, but it was invented in Russia by a man that was born there, so I am not sure you can say it is French.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucien_Olivier

I suppose he was of franco-belgian descent, but he was born in Russia, raised in Russia, died in Russia, and invented his salad in Russia as a chief of a russian restaurant.

Even the french agree: “Lucien Olivier est un chef russe d’origine franco-belge” - from Wikipaedia.

Also:

“Nationalité - russe”

Technically the French call the puff pastries most countries seem to equate to typically French (the croissant f.i.) after Vienna. Those are called Vienoiseries

Meh, “proper cuisine” is definitely accurate since it’s our national pride, but most of the others don’t really feel like french stereotypes. “Soggy pastry” for Denmark even sounds suspiciously american, I’ve never heard anyone say that about this country in France and I don’t even know what it’s referring to

I took a look at the website this is coming from, it seems to be mostly the blog author’s interpretation of what the stereotypes are for each of their maps
