André Toulon Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Up early, Street Fighting as usual and Comrade Zangief made me think........This dude is fucking huge, wtf do they eat in Russia. I'll admit, I am grossy under educated on the place because it literally looks like the shittiest place to live anyway, and I have never looked further than the stereotype that all they have for sustenance is bread and vodka so WTF do they eat. Like is there a such thing as an authentic Russian restaurant......Do they serve bear or something.......I'm not going to look for it because the idea of bread and vodka amuses me, but they have to have some sort of native dishes, right?

1pooh4u Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 What people think of as Yiddish cuisine is mostly ripped from the European countries they adopted or country of birth. Just tweaked to make it kosher. It's actually shameful I don't know more than borscht considering my step grandmother spoke only Russian and Yiddish.

tsar4 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 In that area (Eastern Europe/Western Asia) it's hard to say that any particular food is of a specific country. In fact, making such a claim can lead to a very heated argument. I made the mistake of saying (mistakenly) that I loved Pierogies, "which are from Poland". It turned out that I should have said "which were from Ukraine" because my Grandmother was of Ukrainian ancestry and it was her recipe I had. A woman who was of Latvian heritage went off on me & said they were originally from Latvia, as was every other food dish I mentioned that I said was Polish or Ukranian (Kapusta, Kishka, Globki, Kolacky, etc). I've had it happen with people of other Eastern European nationalities as well. The borders over there shifted so many times, it's hard to tell where anything originated.

bigdick Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I like it actually. When I was a kid and found out where gelatin came from, I stopped eating that shet all together, but then I got over it. It's like solidified soup idk good with hren/red horseradish which should be spicy. Not something easy to get used to though, as with any foreign food. I grew up with Russian food so that wasn't an issue. But ya obvs Russian cuisine is a thing. Every place has a cuisine, and not all of it as all that gross. They have their own dumplings, with meat "pelmeni" or a sweet version "vareniki" with cottage cheese or cherry or potato stuffing. Potato pancakes, might be on the Jewish side, but everything's pretty much mixed. Crepes, diff pirogi like someone has said, golubtsi which is meat/rice/w.e wrapped in a cabbage leaf, stuffed bell peppers is a Russian thing too. Some of these things might have originated from other slavic countries, like Ukraine or Belarus, but back then all that shit was the same so no need to get technical. And there's like only one cold soup I know vs more hot soups, and it's my fave soup ever. ;.; That one is def Ukrainian though. It's a summer soup. There's a spinach soup and a pickle soup which are both pretty ew to me but people like it. Combo of beer + dried fish/fish jerky is pretty Russian too, and uh fatback/sala. Super good when fried then put in a soup but way too fatty personally. Otherwise, it's fun to eat with bread as a chaser for vodka at the table.

Chapinator_X Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Beef Stroganoff is probably their most well known culinary achievement. I could see Zangief loading himself up with that and vodka. Kiev is something they've got too. Maybe cups of snow and pigeons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePirateKing Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 They've got pirozhki, which is like a little meat pie... other than that, lots of weird sour soups (such as borscht)... I bet in Russia you can also get a lot of eastern european cuisines though, like Czech and Hungarian food, which are each delicious. Breaded pork tenderloins, gulash, svichkova, bread dumplings, liver dumpling soup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumb0 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 it varies from region to region. The far-east Russians eat snow and twigs. People in the Kawkaz eat generic halal food. Russians near Moscow drink the blood of Finns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
