Redpill me on Russian cuisine

>>21467995 (OP)
Utilitarian and soulless, just like the people.

>>21467995 (OP)
>Fresh - soup
?

supposed to say fish?

Potato

>>21467996
You are grossly ignorant of Russian cuisine.

I recommend you find yourself a copy of the Book of Tasty and Healthy Food: An Iconic Cookbook of the Soviet Union. In typical soviet fashion, it was published by the Ministry of the Food Industry, but the recipes in there are diverse and interesting.

>>21467995 (OP)
Smetana and pickles

>>21467995 (OP)
For me it’s beef strokinov

>>21468113
And it doesn't need to have beef

For me, it's Chicken Kyiv.

>>21468006
The ai screwed up a bit

>>21468233
its pronounced kiev

>>21468412
no :^)

>>21468113
For me it's your mother; Queef Strokemeov.

>Be me some years ago
>In Brooklyn visiting Russian friend
>Meet up with his friend and go to a hole-in-the-wall Russian restaurant
>No English spoken in there, even the menu is in Russian
>Luckily I can read Russian and know exactly what I want
>Order pelmeni sibirskie, pic not related but similar
>Friend also orders "salad" for an appetizer, turns out to be ham, peas and a few other things I forget slathered in mayonnaise
>Tastes meh but goes down alright with beer
>Main course arrives, tastes fantastic
>Friends whips out a bottle of brandy
>Waiter brings us shot glasses without us even saying anything
>Do some shots, lost count after 6
>Waiter brings scallop-shaped fries, were mediocre but to my shitfaced palette they were heavenly
>Realize the inevitable is going to happen
>Step outside and violently discharge every morsel I just ate into a storm drain in front of a lady and her young daughter
>Wipe my face, come back in and finish the fries
10/10 would recommend.

Vodka, fish, bread

life of boris, youtube channel of an ambiguously slavic man, has a series of him cooking various dishes his grandma made. Generally european rustic with hints it was influenced by more recent bouts of famine, they also have a sweet tooth on par with americans.

>>21468091
I love Soviet era shit, I'll make sure to get a copy

>>21468412

I like blinis and vinegar beetroot salayad.

>>21468828
>blinis
:DDD

It's pretty good peasant food but very much traditional and feels like it hasn't changed since the early 20th century with things like aspic still being considered party food. Overall it's heavy on salads, soups and baked goods + dumplings of infinite variety. Their high level cuisine is basically just French influenced cutlets and shit though think variations of chicken kiev and heavy sauces which is fine but that's all court food in europe.

>>21467995 (OP)
I like the cast iron bakes in woodfired ovens they do.
i've had some fish soup/stew from one of those with baked mayonaise on tomp. It was yum.

mayonnaise
dill
beets
onions
potatoes
cream
vodka

they made the best of a shit deal but the best isn't good enough, sorry not sorry but I won't be eating any except as a fun joke like going to the carnival and eating deep fried coca cola

>>21467995 (OP)
I had pelmeni once and they were pretty good

>>21467995 (OP)
borscht is ukrainian

>>21468421
never attempt comedy again

>>21469188
And Ukraine is Russia.

"Cheese sandwiches. Place a thin slice of cheese in the same star shape on a crispy star-shaped piece of toasted bread, topping it in the center with a small mound of butter mixed with tomato paste; sprinkle grated cheese on top."

There's no real cuisine, just struggle meals or bad copies of euro or turkic foods.

It's because of how their country's agriculture developed. Their soil is very poor, harvests bringing x3 returns, whereas in Europe even the worst harvests were above that (outside of very rare anomalies). Now when russian peasants were left to their own devices, they would just use slash and burn agriculture, get x10 harvest first year, then move on once the soil got depleted, and repeat the cycle. Unfortunately their government forced them to stay on their land, because they needed serfs. So they were stuck at x3, out of which they also had to pay tax, save grain for a bad year, and for the next year's planting.

So they had to eat whatever they could find; one of their famous soups called ukha is made out of fish heads and potato, for example.

The English-language exonym for the city is Kiev, it always has been. Like how we say Cologne for Köln, Copenhagen for København, Ulster for Ulaidh, Naples for Napoli, or Vienna for Wien.
It's only recently with the Post-Soviet civil war that some Americans have hyper-corrected to the Ruthenian "Kyiv" spelling as a form of political statement of solidarity with the Zelensky regime.
It is perfectly acceptable to use the standard exonymic form that one's native language provides when discussing foreign places. I don't expect a Chinaman to pronounce the US as anything other than Meiguo when they are speaking in Mandarin. The term "Kiev" is not political in itself, it is not a reaffirmation of Russian cultural dominance, it is simply the historical English-language name for a city in the Ukraine.

>>21468452
Wait a sec, why can you speak Russian, commie?

>>21469238
>fish heads
This man has never eaten a fish head. It's delicious, the cheeks are easily the best tasting meat on the entire fish. Plus there's a lot of collagen in the surrounding tissue, it would make perfect sense to use it to make a broth.

>>21469214
Okay Putin

>>21467995 (OP)
Vodka and rape.

>>21469267
I like fish heads and it makes a lot of sense to use them in a soup. That said it's touted as a national dish in Russia, while not even SA or SEA countries tout sopa di macaco or chicken feet as THE national dishes.

>>21469279
They don't have anything else. Russia is a cultureless shithole filled with violent apes and their victims

>>21469284
Pretty much, even their own writers mostly complain about Russia being a shithole and Russians being violent apes.

"Sado, with whom Hadji Murat had stayed, had gone with his family into the mountains when the Russians approached the village. When he returned, he found his saklya destroyed: the roof had caved in, the door and the posts of the gallery were burned, and the inside had been defiled with excrement. […] The fountain had been fouled with excrement, obviously on purpose, so that it was impossible to draw water from it. The mosque, too, had been fouled, and the mullah with his students was cleaning it.

The elder householders gathered in the square and, squatting on their heels, discussed their situation.

No one spoke of hatred toward the Russians. The feeling experienced by all the Chechens, from the youngest to the oldest, was stronger than hatred. It was not hatred but a denial of these Russian dogs as human beings, a loathing, disgust, and bewilderment at the absurd cruelty of these creatures, such that the desire to exterminate them—like the desire to exterminate rats, venomous spiders, or wolves—was as natural a feeling as the instinct for self-preservation." t. Lev Tolstoy

Because suka pidor blyat pyos yob tvoyu mat, that's why.

>>21469260
cool story write a book about it

>>21469352
Kek, that just sounds like some white boys goofing off. Fuck muslims, every one of their mosques should be treated that same way.

>>21469444
nta, DGAF about it, not invested at all in it. Just wanted to ask you to do better. You sound like a 7 year old with a severe learning disability.

chicken kiev :)

>>21469770
im nta youre talking about and you clearly do gaf so you can also write a book about it

>>21468452
>turns out to be ham, peas and a few other things I forget slathered in mayonnaise
how do you not know what salad olivie is if you speak russian?

>>21469929
Nice try, but there can't be more than one faggot as colossal as you. So it's an obvious samefag

>>21469950
yeah there is a couple your dad and OP for instance

>>21468113
For me, I microwave this and I add steak’um hot and fresh straight out of the skillet. Poor man’s beef stroganoff but nonetheless absolutely delicious

>>21469992
Sounds good. I will definitely give this a try. However “poor man’s stroganoff” my ass. Steak um is expensive nowadays. I’m still gonna try I’ve got money

>>21469938
I'm nta but I can read cyrillic and recognize a few words here and there, but the only reason I know about salat olivier is because of the MyNameIsAndong YT channel.

>>21467995 (OP)

>Redpill me on Russian cuisine

Stolen from Poland and fucked up by Mongolian Russians.

>>21467995 (OP)
I feel like they had really good beer and cheese before Soviet times and it became mostly mass produced shit.

>>21468113
basically the ultimate slav food
some ground fungi, sour milk, dead cow in a big pot for the peasants

>>21467995 (OP)
i didnt even know russia had food

I eat the same slop you westoids do

t. russian

>stroganoff
wtf is this shit?

>>21467995 (OP)
I like it. I think anyone who likes heavier food, root veg, meat, sour cream etc would also like it. Borscht, stuffed cabbage, the little dumplings, potato pancakes stuffed with meat, etc. Great stuff on a cold day

blini mogs other pancakes
