What post asks, as this the start of the new year I wanted to start cooking instead of microwaving all my meals and wondered which dish I would have no problem finding authentic ingredientsfor in the US? I was thinking borscht, pelmeni, blini, or pirozhki.
I unfortunately had to group some countries together since reddit gives limited poll options
I heard that Asian foods are for the fibers, vitamins, antioxidants, proteins, lack of meats and dairies. But I also know a lot of Asian food has those things in there like curry's, a lot of Asian and Japanese foods, I know Thai foods are centered more around vegetables and plants. I don't know which cuisine is the healthiest tho, if it even is an Asian cuisine. So does anyone know lol? This should be a good conversation
It's funny because although I live in Eastern Europe I've never thought of doing this regularly (only very rarely).
I've heard that the juice itself (Borsch = fermented wheat bran juice, therefore probiotic) is anti-inflammatory and should not be boiled when incorporated into the soup as to preserve its probiotic benefits.
I used to consume Kimchi every now and then (since last year) but now for some reason it's hard to get a hold of it here so I'm turning to this probiotic option.
Of course, there's also Kefir, but I find I still can't stomach dairy too well and I think it's causing flare-ups.
Anyway, the bottom line is - it seems that Borsch has been used in its raw form for decades in order to cure various disease. Not that I can verify if there were actual results - but all I know is that I always feel good when eating probiotics, so I'd say, this soup needs to be given a chance, especially because it's chock-full of vegetables containing antioxidants - cabbage, beetroot, various other roots, carrots, scallions, onions, bellpeppers, etc. I don't think you can go wrong with it.
I had to group some countries together because Reddit allows only up to 6 poll options, i also excluded countries like China and Norway because despite Russia bordering them i don't think they have much in common with Russia
Initially I didn't know that Russian cuisine was so diverse and appealing, Antony Bourdain fucked up hardcore by not covering the the vastness of the Russian gastroculture that could give the French a run for their money if I ever do a tour of Europe I'd prefer to start with a Russian breakfast which could probably fuel me the entire tour. I mean seriously how come Russian cuisine isn't more popular outside Russia's borders I'm surprised no one has interviewed hundreds of Russian grandmothers for a Russian cuisine cookbook I'd fear for any Japanese sumo wrestler to face their Russian counterpart.
Like maybe there is some meat, but 90% of any cuisine that I have heard of are thin pancakes and soup. Doesn't this get boring? Why so much soup?
Hi there,
Recently I sat down with a Russian friend of mine to talk about all things food. I asked her eventually what is considered expensive Russian food? Like, if you were to take a date out to an expensive restaurant, what sorts of food would you order? She wasn't able to answer the question, so I ask Reddit.
Good day. I would like to share with you my presentation in English. Made for the college final exam. I studied at a Moscow college as a cook, a pastry chef. I took all the information from open sources. I've never been to Germany. My English is bad so I used a translator.

can you help me
I followed life of Boris recipes for zefir and kvass
Edit: o my God THANK YOU i did not expect so MANY answers thank you again
Maybe it's just that I live in a post-Soviet country, but I hear lots of people praise Russian food all the f*cking time. I've actually heard this from Americans on the internet too (god knows why).
Borscht - A soup with so much beetroot that you can't taste anything else
Solyanka - A soup that is usually salty af and also it consists of stuff that doesn't taste good together at all (meat/fish, mushrooms, pickles, olives n sh*t)
Cold borscht - Beetroot flavored yogurt/kefir
Dressed herring - A layer of herring covered in a mayonnaise-logged layer of potato, carrot and beetroot
Vinegret - A "salad" that tastes like borscht without the broth
Varenye - It doesn't taste bad, but you can't properly spread it on stuff. It's almost like jam except it's actually just syruplogged fruit/berry chunks.
They put sour cream on everything, even dessert. Also why tf do they just throw in beetroot everywhere? Btw, most foods that are not a dessert (Russians have really good desserts tbh) tastes so bland. Seriously, it's like what y'all Americans think of as bland but 11 times more bland. Oh, did I mention that slapping a ton of ketchup and mayo on your macaroni "to make it tastier" is considered the norm
This might be hard to explain. For example, the traditional Chinese cuisine in South Korea is a localized version of Chinese Shandong (northern coastal Chinese) cuisine. I wonder if there is a similar equivalent in Russia in terms of a set of cuisine.
I donβt see a ton about food trucks here, but I wanted to give a shoutout to Red Square Grill. They are located behind Russian Club & Romashka Euro Deli at 2400 W. Dublin Granville Rd. Menu items include plov, samsa, lagman, kebabs and more. (I came towards the end of the day so I missed out on the samsas, sadly.) Today I ordered the plov, which when cooked the traditional way takes 4+ hours to prepare. Very flavorful, will be back again to try more.
note cash only, open Thursday-Sunday
