How to pay attention to diet when traveling to Russia?

1, Russians mainly eat bread, potatoes and meat and milk, and their diet structure is characterized by more meat and milk and less vegetables. The obvious dietary taboo of Russians is fasting dog meat. Russians generally don't eat dog meat for two reasons: First, ancient Russians are good at hunting. In the hunting process, dogs are their best partners, accompanying them to hunt food in the forest wilderness. Therefore, Russians have deep feelings for dogs and regard dogs as their best partners, not animals or food; Second, it can be traced back to World War II, when the Soviet Union trained a group of so-called "tank dogs", used these dogs to carry explosives, entered German tanks, attacked Germans, and successfully killed many German soldiers. In the battle, the dog made great achievements and was respected by the people. However, in China, the situation is just the opposite. People in China like to eat dog meat. Although some dog lovers are not excluded from eating dog meat, on the whole, eating dog meat is still popular in China, and dog meat is loved by most people because of its mellow meat quality and rich meat flavor. At the same time, according to the theory of TCM health preservation, dog meat has the effects of invigorating qi, nourishing the body, calming the nerves, warming the stomach and enriching the blood, which has certain health care value and is favored by dietotherapy lovers.

2. The difference of food culture between China and Russia is mainly reflected in eating dog meat. Russians regard dogs as friends and companions and are forbidden to eat dog meat. But as far as China people's attitude towards dogs is concerned, eating dog meat is entirely out of personal preference, and there is no unified value concept. Food culture is an important part of a country's civilization development and cultural system, from which we can clearly see a country's cultural background and traditional habits. In the process of development, a country needs to form its own cultural heritage according to its own civilization and historical tradition, and then promote the national culture to be carried forward and developed on the basis of inheriting traditional culture, and form a value system that adapts to social development.
