Food
Russian food is very tasty and rich in calories. You will
find a lot of places in the city to taste it, from unexpensive bistros where middle-class
local people eat and very popular and cheap "blini" (pancakes) places to
expensive restaurants. Drinks are usually served without ice, if you want it, ask
especially.
The most typical and famous dishes are soups (Borsch,
Solianka), salads, ("Olivie", "Herring under fur-coat"), meat,
(for example, "Beef Stroganoff", Shashlik), chicken ("famouse Kiev
chicken"), fish (sturgeon, salmon), red and black caviar, "blini"
(pancakes), "pelmeni". As a garnish, in Russia are popular potatoes, prepared in
different ways (boiled, fried, baked), also rise, vegetables. To many dishes (soups,
salads, potatoes) a Sour Cream ("Smetana") can be added.
From drinks typical there are: tea, beer (Russian and
imported), vodka, traditional cranberry drink "Mors", old traditional drink
"Kvas", (these are "old popular drinks").
