food in Russia in general was the shittiest garbage I've ever eaten, outside of maybe hospital food. I guess high end places will have good food, but regular restaurants were just shit, to a point that maybe the famines in Russian history were not due to lack of food, but people collectively realizing that its better to starve than eat R*ssian food.

I make borsch sometimes. It's a really good fall or winter meal. Especially with some sour cream on top. Best eaten while drying your socks by the fire.

I made borsch yesterday. Last Christmas I made potato salad and this, Olivier. Very comfy foods. I also made fish pie with bread and tuna and stuff but I am not sure if it's Russian cuisine.

I like their pickles and a lot of their soups & stews but I don't make any of it.

A lot of Russian food is on the bland side, since they don't have much tradition in terms of herbs/spices (except maybe dill and lovage).
Russian desserts are good, though.

Serves you right for not eating homemade Russian food made by your babushka or in my case, my gramper.

Am russki so yes. Carrots in a salad like that can fuck right off though.
Herring in a fur coat is fantastic.

I like mayo and potatoes so I am pretty sure I would like Russian food.

>> No.17199095

Russian Food is criminally underrated. My favorite cookbook is a russian cook book with recipes from about the time french cuisine was the big influence there up to the end of the ussr.
Russian food is basically what happens when starving russian peasants with a hard on for french cooking from the 1800s makes due with what they have.
There salads are great, hearing in a fur coat like that other guy said and that russian salad with pickles, beets and potatoes. Great Kasha dishes as well.
I kind of wish I had the bear recipes from that book when I had some bear meat. maybe it would have made it palatable

You're not talking about the Книгa o вкycнoй и здopoвoй пищe are you? The one with all the really cool hand drawn pictures of food that nobody could get in the ussr lol?

I've eaten pierogi and oscypeks but those are more polish than russian.

fuck I wish, I've never been able to find an english copy of the book of tasty and healthy food, and I read russian the way the children in my state read english.
Mine is The Art of Russian Cuisine by Anna Volokh and Mavis Manus. I just found it, it's a little older than I thought published in 1983.
kind of a crazy books, entire chapters pel'meni and blinchiki. The zakuski, and pickle chapters are fantastic, so is the chapter on booze since it just throws like half a dozen home brew recipes at you just involving letting fruit and sugar sit around for a while. three our four solid kvas recipes as well

Honey cake is amazing. Borsch and Pirozhki are excellent as well. It's pretty solid given the somewhat limiting ingredients of traditional Russian food. Similar to German and French cuisine, but you can find some odd Asian influenced dishes.

I was thinking of making honey cake. I wonder if I could cheat and just use honey graham crackers though.

Borsch, Piroshki, Schi, Uha, if you can stomach the texture Holodets.

My personal favorite is pickled goods, such as cabbage or wild mushrooms. Russian with old school parents here

See, I read this, I understand the phrase, but it is incomprehensible to me how that diarrhea can be tasty.

I used to live in a small town in canada with a large russian doukhobor population. There was a restaurant with some fire borscht and vareniki. Doukhobor borscht is pretty different from the classic stuff I guess, but this is all I've had. Unfortunately the place closed and now it's a shitty chinese restaurant.

I generally don't use much salt and its hard to find good fish in a landlocked country so whatever fish I try to use is ultra salty here
