What do Russians like best?

In fact, I have never been quite sure what Russians like to eat. I heard Natalie talk about it occasionally, but I still don't know what it is.

I'll believe that when I see it. Until the end of 65438+February last year, I went to Russia to visit my parents-in-law and spend the Russian New Year with them. I spent more than a month in Ryazan, Moscow and St. Petersburg. This month, I ate russian cuisine in my parents' home for two weeks, and the rest ate in Russian restaurants in Moscow and St. Petersburg, big and small, and basically knew what Russians liked best, as shown above:

The dishes we usually eat in the picture above will be much richer on holidays. These dishes are often eaten by Natalie's family, including staple foods, such as big bars, all kinds of ham and bacon, cheese, chicken balls (oval, like potatoes), red vegetable salad, Russian pickles and pickled mushrooms. , should also be able to correspond to each other by name.

To tell the truth, although Russian food is not as rich and delicious as China's, I still love Russian food very much, and I can feel the unique food culture of Russia, especially appreciate Russian food culture and etiquette, such as not opening my mouth when eating, not wasting CDs, eating as much as I want in separate meals, and so on.

This is another favorite staple food of Russians-buckwheat rice, which is eaten with roast pork, beef or chicken. It's a coarse fiber grain, which helps digestion and tastes good.

Russians love barbecues, and restaurants must have embedded electric ovens, which can bake a lot at a time. The picture above shows roast chicken, mostly chicken breast, with little seasoning, which can taste the delicious chicken itself and provide more energy for Russians in cold winter.

In Russia, cake is an indispensable food on the table. Generally speaking, as a dessert, Russians usually add a lot of dairy products, such as cheese milk residue, but never add vegetable cream. It is said that it is illegal to add vegetable cream to cakes in Russia. The cake above is made by my mother-in-law. It's called milk residue cake. It also adds various berries, such as raspberries and blueberries. Soft and sour, especially delicious and nutritious. I can eat more than half at a time.

Ham is a must for Russian food. I like visiting Russian supermarkets best. There are all kinds of hams in the supermarket, which greatly increases the appetite. Ham is one of my favorites. According to the moisture content and processing technology, Russian ham can be roughly divided into three types: dry, semi-dry and wet. Generally, dry ham has the highest price, the highest grade, and little seasoning, which retains the natural flavor of meat and is of course the most convenient to preserve.

The big bar and all kinds of bread in the supermarket are dazzling and are the favorite staple food of Russians. What impressed me most was that besides the delicious taste, the price was too touching. Bread from 20 yuan or 30 yuan is sold in supermarkets in China, and can be bought in Russian supermarkets in 2 yuan. I remember that before I took the train from Moscow to St. Petersburg, when I was eating on the train, I bought two big round buns in the supermarket, which were more than 20 centimeters in diameter and more than 2 yuan each.

This photo is serious, because the food on the left plate-eggs, pork, mushrooms and mashed potatoes-is also a salad. It's delicious. It was eaten in the dining room of Natalie's alma mater, School of Asian and African Studies, Moscow State University. The taste is unforgettable. I will definitely go to Russia again this year. On the right, the top is red vegetable soup, which everyone must be familiar with, and the bottom is salad.

Speaking of salad, it will always be a must-have dish for Russians. The raw materials are generally all kinds of vegetables, pickles, ham, fish products and so on. It's delicious. What impressed me most was the red vegetable salad, which was attractive in color but light in taste. As shown in the picture above, this is the red vegetable salad, just like the red vegetables in the red vegetable soup.

In the picture above, there are potatoes and chicken. Potatoes are the staple food in Russian food, usually mashed potatoes with barbecue, which is very satisfying.

It's really another kind of mashed potatoes and chicken chops I ate in St. Petersburg.

The chefs in Russian restaurants are all cooking, and the kitchens are generally transparent.

Finally, I'll show you some ham from Russian supermarkets. After all, it's my favorite. I took a lot of photos.

I won't say what Russians like best, but what Russians like is guaranteed to be disliked by China people. During the Spring Festival of 20 15, our company organized activities, that is, organized Russians working in the head office to visit the following factories, so that they could see the thriving personnel industry in China. After several days of cleaning, we finally saw the arrival of the Russians. After they visited our workshop, dormitory and some living facilities, the leader arranged for them to have dinner in the biggest Russian restaurant in town. After the banquet, there were many dishes left, some of which seemed untouched. The Russians returned to Kuske in Irvine. Based on the principle of thrift, we packed the leftovers in plastic bags and took them back to the factory. After dinner, no one ate russian cuisine in dozens of big plastic bags. These unnamed dishes, whether sour or sweet, seem to be inseparable from sour cream. Most of them are salted fish, salty fat pork and whole ones. After tearing, there are bright red bloodshot inside, which are all their favorite dishes ordered by Russians themselves, and there are many salads (cold dishes), namely cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, corn kernels and green beans mixed with sour cream, which are their favorite dishes. China people don't like it, and it's hard to swallow. Some tastes bad. They smell like sour cream. I really don't understand how this Russian is willing to eat this. Russian hotels are different from China hotels. These dishes are very expensive. I finally gave it to me. I took some of it back to my home for my children (I have a home in Russia), some for Kazakh workers working in the factory, and the rest of the bags were thrown to the dogs in the factory. If they don't listen, the dog won't eat it. My children and workers in Kazakhstan eat well.

There is an interesting proverb about Russian cuisine:

Bread, milk, potatoes, cheese and sausages-"Five Leaders"

Cabbage, Onions, Carrots and Beets-"Four donkey kong"

Black bread, vodka and caviar-"three musketeers"

As for the favorite drink:

Alcoholic beverages, such as vodka, beer, wine, champagne, etc.

Tea, Gowasu and other alcoholic beverages.

Me: Skyworth

Russian Xiaofei Feipeng, official account of WeChat (eyubang 123), Russian status, focusing on Russian, answering all kinds of questions. Welcome to consult.

Because Russia is located in high latitudes, crops are limited, mainly oats, potatoes, barley and so on. Moreover, the crops in the alpine region are limited, so we can only engage in aquaculture. The main livestock are pigs and cattle. Therefore, the main food in Russia comes from these crops and livestock, such as brown bread and mashed potatoes. At high altitude, there are more meats, such as milk, beef, butter, pork, and of course some local diets, such as pickles, caviar and salted fish.

Luo Songtang originated in Ukraine and was quickly absorbed and transformed by Russians, becoming one of the national dishes of Russians. Luo Songtang is rich in content, with all kinds of meat and vegetables, such as cabbage, carrots, onions and potatoes. Luo Songtang can eat cold or drink hot. Traditional Russian Luo Songtang often has a lot of sour cream on it.

Another Russian vegetable soup is a meal in itself. All kinds of meat, such as sausage, bacon, ham, beef, vegetables, etc., are stewed thick and thick, rich in content and nutrition. After the pot is lifted, it must be accompanied by lemon slices to bring another flavor to the thick broth. In addition, cabbage soup is also very popular in Russia, and it is a daily home-cooked soup. According to different seasons, soup can be made of fresh or pickled cabbage with different seasonings and methods. Soup made of sauerkraut is called sauerkraut soup.

In Russian daily life, pancakes are both common and important. They can be eaten with jam, cheese, sour cream, caviar, onions and chocolate sauce. Many festivals in spring often start with eating pancakes. Caviar, whether it's crispy bread, biscuits or pancakes, is unparalleled delicious. Russians eat caviar and like to put a layer of butter on it.

Many living customs of Russians, including eating habits, are close to those of Western Europeans. For example, pay attention to eating. Dinner is not only an important social occasion, but also an important place for family gatherings. Under normal circumstances, unless someone says in advance that they won't go home for dinner, they won't have dinner until all the family members come back.

Therefore, dinner in Russia is usually very late, often starting at 8 pm. Of course, dinner will last for a long time, and the content is the most abundant in a day. A typical Russian dinner often has 1-2 kinds of salads. What Russians like best is beet salad, which is mixed with potatoes, onions, pickles, meats, mayonnaise and spices. After salad, it is often stewed meat, or barbecue, patties, meatballs and so on. , can be beef, chicken, pork, fish. Russians like to pour tomato juice on stew or meat patties, and put mashed potatoes, oatmeal paste or pasta next to them. Russians also love to eat jiaozi. Dear friends, look, what's the difference between their jiaozi and our jiaozi in China? Jiaozi's stuffing is beef and pork, but most of them are beef. Mayonnaise and yogurt are the favorite ingredients of Russians, and they are often used when eating jiaozi.

For our diners in China, because of its long history, latitude, great climate change, vast territory and developed culture, it can be said that it is the most edible nation in the world, and its food development is unique in the world! A person began to eat at the age of 3 and ate the same thing every day. It is estimated that he will not eat all kinds of delicious food and famous food in China until his death.

For Russian cuisine, besides going to the "Lao Mo" restaurant in Beijing (the restaurant in Beijing Exhibition Hall) or all kinds of Russian meals in Harbin, what else do we have: Heileba, sausage (as thick as the forearm of a real Russian sausage), red vegetable soup (Luo Songtang), caviar ... Gowasu, vodka ... basically, what Russians like to eat, our diners in China all feel delicious after tasting it. For example, Comrade Khrushchev said, "When the potatoes are ripe, add beef." .

But Russia (Ukraine also eats it, as if Slavs like it) has a kind of food.

They are "sweet" for this, but we in China are hard to swallow. After reading it, it's like seeing Swedish "canned herring". This kind of food is made from the "Ukrainian white pig" in the picture above. The name of this food is "Salo". What does it look like?

This thing in the picture is called "Salo"

, is pickled fat pork! The position of "Salo" in Slavic diet is equivalent to our bacon, sausage or ham in China. Every autumn, Slavs make a lot of winter reserves. Salo is very demanding of pigs. Generally speaking, it is a breeding period of 300 days. Usually, pigs raised in factories are not used, but suckling pigs raised by farmers themselves, and pure grain feed is started after weaning. In the fattening period, marigold, honey, oats and other special compound feed for farmers are added. Slaughter when the body length is about 200 kg ... only take the hard pork ribs of pigs, soak them in strong salt water for 24 hours, take them out to dry, and then coat them with Shanghai salt. There is not much difference between the method of making bacon and ham. Wrap it in kraft paper and put it in a dark and ventilated place for at least 2 months before eating.

The way to eat "Salo" is as shown in the picture. Cut it into a small piece of bread and eat it raw, or take a swig of vodka and a piece of "Salo" ... For Russians, it melts in the mouth and has a strong pork flavor, which is simply delicious! But according to friends who have eaten this kind of food around us, it is not the taste we are used to at all, but a salty raw fat pork. The greasy feeling extends from the toes to the top of the head, and we don't have the courage to eat the second piece at all, or even the courage to eat it again!

So why are Russians willing to eat this high-fat food? The reason is that the latitude in Russia is too high, the temperature in winter is extremely cold, and a lot of fat is needed to supplement the heat, otherwise it can't resist the cold at all. However, due to the perennial high-fat and high-salt eating habits, Russian girls became Russian aunts after the age of 30, and their bodies immediately became "as broad as Russian land."

The Russian diet is mainly bread, pickled fish and soup, but Russian dairy products are not cheap and there are many kinds of beer.

Leba and vodka are second to none.

It seems that they like kimchi very much.

Awei married a Russian wife and settled in Russia. He asked my cousin and I to find him. Russian cuisine was delicious at first, but I got tired of eating too much, and then I felt sick when I saw it.

My cousin awei and I have been playing together since childhood, and we have a good relationship. Since awei went to live in Russia, we have little contact.

In the winter of 20 16, I suddenly remembered that he was coming, so I called him. I had a long talk with him. He told me a lot about what happened after he went to Russia. He likes life in Russia very much, and he also owns a restaurant in Russia. He leads a wonderful life. His wife gave birth to a son and a daughter, which just spelled a good word. He is very lucky.

I haven't seen awei for ten years. He told me and my cousin would visit him sometime. He also said that he would pay all the expenses in Russia. We just need to buy two tickets to Russia. I will discuss with my cousin and make an appointment to visit him in Russia as a trip.

Before leaving, he asked us to take some thick clothes. He said it was very cold in Russia, and my cousin and I brought down jackets. Originally, I only brought one piece, but later I thought it was not enough, so I brought two pieces each. Besides down jackets, we also brought sweaters and scarves. These thick clothes occupy most of our suitcases.

We bought tickets from Shenzhen Baoan International Airport to Sheremetyeva Airport in Moscow, Russia. As soon as I got on the plane, I saw some beautiful Russian stewardesses. They are tall, with deep eyes and temperament.

It took us more than 40 hours to reach our destination by plane. On the plane, we chatted with Russian stewardesses, and they had a good time. Their voices are sweet and they speak Chinese very well. We also exchanged contact information, flew for nearly two days, and finally arrived at Sheremetyeva Airport in Moscow.

Before getting off the plane, the Russian stewardess reminded us that it was very cold outside. People who are afraid of cold should wear thick clothes and don't catch cold. After hearing the reminder, my cousin and I opened the suitcase and took out the down jacket to put on. To be on the safe side, we also hold the scarf in our hands. Sure enough, as soon as we got off the plane, there was a cold wind blowing, which made us tremble. We just feel better.

The weather in Russia is colder than that in the north. The outdoor temperature in Russia is more than 40 degrees below zero, sometimes reaching more than 50 degrees below zero. Fortunately, I brought a down jacket and scarf. Otherwise, how can I stand such a cold day? When we come to a strange place, we will not get used to it.

Awei came to meet us in person. It took us more than ten minutes to find awei at the airport. When we met, we were all very happy and hugged each other.

I thought he drove here, thinking that I could turn on the heating in the car to keep warm, but he told us that he came here by subway, and we will go back by subway later. He saw our doubts and told us about the airport, so that you would know why I came by subway, and then help us with our luggage and take us out.

When I got out of the airport, I realized why I had to take the subway. We saw that the road was full of cars and couldn't move. Awei told us that traffic jams are normal in Moscow.

Traffic jams will be more severe during rush hours, and traffic jams will block your temper. The average speed is about 5 kilometers per hour. Even if the old lady walks faster than driving, he said that if she has something urgent to go out in Russia, she usually doesn't drive, but chooses to take the subway, which will be faster.

Awei took us to the subway. When I arrived at the subway station, I found that the design style of the Russian subway station was different from that of our domestic subway station. The style of Russian subway station is European and American, very romantic and beautiful. It doesn't feel like a subway station, but more like a date place.

In the subway station, we saw many Russian women, including bloated Russian aunts and beautiful young Russian beauties. Those little beauties are very good at dressing up, with high nose and deep eyes, which are very charming. And let my cousin find a Russian girlfriend. However, when we walked next to those beautiful women, they smelled very special, not like body odor, but they smelled bad anyway.

After getting on the subway, many chairs were available, but we didn't sit in the past, but stood in the last carriage, because there were not so many people in the last carriage and the smell was not so strong.

As soon as I got out of the subway station, I saw a taxi. It turned out that awei had refueled in advance. We put our luggage in the car and set off for a restaurant in awei. On the bus, we asked the driver to turn on the heating, which was a little warm.

After arriving at the restaurant, awei took out a bottle of vodka. He said it wouldn't be so cold if he drank some wine. My cousin and I took a sip and stopped drinking. It's warm, but the taste of vodka is strong. Neither my cousin nor I like that smell very much. Our white wine is better.

Awei called his wife to chat with us, and then he went to the kitchen to cook. He said he would cook some dishes to welcome us. His wife has a good figure, is very beautiful and has a lot of temperament. She also has a Chinese name, A Ying.

My cousin and I got up and called my sister-in-law, and then we sat down to chat. As soon as she begins to speak, she speaks Chinese. Her Chinese is very good and standard. awei taught her. We communicate happily in Chinese.

My cousin was single at that time, and I wanted to find him a Russian girlfriend. I asked A Ying: I heard that there are more women than men in Russia, and Russian men can't get married. Is it true?/You don't say.

A Ying said: In Russia, there are more women than men100000. Although there are more women than men, most of them are older.

Because there are more women than men, men can't get married in Russia. If a Russian woman really loves you, she doesn't need a bride price or a house or a car when she gets married. I just hope you can take good care of her. When awei and I got married, we didn't ask him to give us a bride price.

Russian women are beautiful and slim before marriage, and their value drops and they are obese after marriage. After most women get married and have children, their bodies will be seriously out of shape and become bloated. Russian women in their thirties look like aunts in their fifties.

Russian women will become like this, mainly because of their diet. Russians like to eat some sweet and sour and high-calorie foods, especially meat. They organize barbecues from time to time and barbecue in the wild with family and friends.

Moreover, Russians like drinking very much. In their eyes, wine is a drink. It's hard to eat meat, drink a lot, and get fat.

I asked Ying: You have given birth to two children. Why is your figure still so good?

Ying said: I pay great attention to my diet. I don't eat too much meat. I have a balanced diet. I exercise every day, so I can keep in such good shape.

In order to promote fertility in Russia, the legal age for marriage is set at 14.

After listening to it at that time, I felt that I had heard wrong. /kloc-when I was 0/4 years old, I was just a child. I haven't developed yet, and my mind is still immature. How can I get married? I asked A Ying: Why is the legal age set at 14? 14 is it too early to get married?

A Ying said: Mainly because of population, economy and old-age care.

Russia has a large land area of 17098200 square kilometers, which is the largest country in the world, but its population is only about1400,000, and its population distribution is sparse. Many places are uninhabited and in a barren state.

Russia is rich in natural resources, but insufficient population means that there is not enough labor force, which means that economic development cannot develop.

Although the legal age for marriage is 14, it is not so simple to get married with 14, but there are conditions. If certain conditions are not met, you cannot get married. There are two conditions. The first condition is that both parents or guardians must agree, and the second condition is that you are pregnant or have children. Only when these two conditions are met can we get married in 14. Russians usually get married after the age of 20.

I told A Ying: We just got back by subway. We saw some beautiful Russian women in the subway station. They are very charming, but when we passed them, we smelled an unpleasant smell. It doesn't smell like body odor or sweat. What is that?

A Ying told us that it was the smell of Russians, because Russians mainly eat meat and often eat mutton and beef. If they eat too much of this meat, they will taste of it. In addition, Russians love to drink, and after drinking for a long time, they will have a smell of wine, which will gradually become their body odor. Most Russians have that smell.

However, not every Russian smells that heavy. Some people have a faint smell, and a little perfume can cover that smell. Some people have a strong smell, and no amount of perfume can hide that smell. Perfume and body odor will be even worse.

Ying also told us that she also has body odor, which is very special. However, awei doesn't dislike it at all and likes to smell it.

After talking about women, I talked about other topics. I asked Ying: You have two children and run a restaurant. Is this a big pressure on your life?

There is no pressure, because education in Russia is free, she said. Children don't have to pay for their own education from kindergarten to university. There will be other subsidies in the school, as long as the children are well fed and warm. There are also subsidies for giving birth to children in Russia, and you can take paid vacation after giving birth. The welfare in Russia is very good. Our restaurant mainly cooks some China hometown dishes that Russians like very much. These dishes are cheap and profitable.

We talked for a long time, and a Cai Wei person cooked. Awei cooked spicy chicken, kung pao chicken, boiled chicken, boiled beef, braised pork with plum, black caviar, ham, bread, cakes and vegetables, and meat was more than vegetables. I asked awei why he cooked so much meat, but not much.

He said: In Russia, food is more expensive than meat, and many people are reluctant to eat it. It is very cheap to buy meat in Russia. 20 yuan is a catty of beef, and pork 10 yuan is a catty, so chicken is cheaper, as long as 5 yuan is a catty, so Russians mainly eat meat. In addition, the protein content of meat is very high, so eating more meat can better keep out the cold.

While eating, awei took out white wine and vodka. Awei said that there is an unwritten Russian rule that people must drink a toast and finish it. Drinking with the Russians is to see who falls first.

The four of us were drinking while eating meat. Before drinking, we also said to see who fell first. I thought awei's wife would be the first to fall. Unexpectedly, she was the best drinker among the four of us, so she poured the three of us down by herself.

My cousin drank three glasses of wine, so he was the first to fall down and the worst drinker. Awei was the second to fall, leaving me to drink with Ingrid. I fell down after drinking three glasses of wine, and my head was dizzy. When I woke up the next day, I was at awei's house.

Three men can't drink one woman, so they feel embarrassed to think about it. Ying said: You China people have a poor capacity for alcohol. Drinking is only a small glass, which is not generous enough. The Russians drank it all at once. When it comes to drinking, Russians have never been discouraged. They just drink it, but they won't say no.

Hearing this, I am even more embarrassed. Ying saw my embarrassment and told me that most Russians like drinking very much. Russians drink wine as a drink. When they drink too much, the amount of alcohol will naturally come up, but some people pour it after one drink, while others don't touch alcohol.

There are rules for buying alcohol in Russia. /kloc-people under 0/8 are not allowed to buy alcohol, and people under 2 1 are not allowed to buy vodka. Vodka is a specialty of Russia. Vodka is distilled liquor with a strong taste. For those who look younger, when buying wine, the boss will ask him to show his ID card to see if he is above 18.

Russians like to drink, and they can often see some drunkards lying on the road outside. There are many people who die suddenly or freeze to death because of drinking, and the number of deaths is increasing every year, most of them are men, but Russians still like drinking so much. If they don't grasp the amount of alcohol when drinking, they may harm themselves.

Ying said that we can wear short-sleeved shorts at home. We don't feel cold in short-sleeved shorts at all, but we think it's getting warmer. Who knows that when we opened the window, a cold wind blew in, which made us tremble. Later, awei told us that the heating was on at home. It turns out that in Russia, heating is provided when the weather is cold and will not stop until the weather gets warmer, but you have to pay the heating fee.

During our stay in Russia, we stayed at awei's and ate at awei's. Almost every meal is mutton, beef, chicken, potatoes, bread, cakes and sausages. These things are really delicious at first, but they get bored easily every day. Later, my cousin and I were afraid of these foods and wanted to throw up.

When the restaurant is not busy, Mr. and Mrs. awei will take their children to play with us. If the restaurant is busy, my cousin and I will help, but sometimes my cousin and I will go out for a walk by ourselves.

Ying told us to take our passports with us when we go out, because people often check their identities outside. If you don't take your passports, it will be very troublesome. If you want to drink, you should buy it before 9 pm, because it is forbidden to sell alcohol after 9 pm.

Don't talk loudly outside, it will affect others. When waiting in line, you must line up and don't cut in line, otherwise you will be treated coldly by others. Russians are very disgusted with this kind of behavior without quality and don't like people without quality.

When chatting with Russian women, you can't ask your age. This is very impolite behavior. If you want to be friends with others, you can send flowers to others, but you should send an odd number of flowers, not even one. Better send seven. Russians think that seven represents luck, and even flowers are used at funerals. Russians are very taboo about yellow. They can't give others yellow gifts. Ying told us a lot of things to pay attention to in Russia.

My cousin and I went to many places in Russia to play. We went to Red Square first, and then to St. Petersburg. Many Russian beauties we know have arranged to go out to play together next time. After a while, we went to Altai Mountain and Lake Baikal, where the scenery was very beautiful.

Russians like barbecue, roast beef, roast mutton and roast chicken breast best. Meat is the staple food of Russians, followed by bread and also the staple food of Russians. When guests come home, they will entertain them with bread and meat, which Russians think is the highest standard for entertaining guests.

Sausage and potatoes are also essential foods on the table, especially potatoes. Russians like to make mashed potatoes to go with chicken or beef. They are very delicious and won't be too greasy.

People who like barbecue can feast their eyes on a trip to Russia. Roast pork, beef, mutton, roast chicken, and some delicious seasonings are delicious, but they can't stop eating, but they are easy to get fat if they eat too much. When I was in Russia, my cousin and I gained ten pounds.
