RUSSIAN COOKING

 

A very important problem that arises when you travel abroad is the problem of food. Every country has its own traditions and it is easier to adjust to any inconvenience than to change your eating habits. In Russia there is an ancient saying "What is good (to eat) for Germans is a poison for Russians".

At the same time food is obviously a very important part of peoples' culture and if you want to understand the nation it is important to try national food. That is why any western travel guide to Russia contains a detailed description of Russian eating habits.

In the 19^th century many "specialists" on Russia persistently recommend to abstain from tasting traditional Russian cuisine. This recommendation is followed by the recipes of the most popular dishes of Russian cuisine:

"Kvass (national drink) – is made of a pound of salt, two pounds of barley meal, and a pound and a half of honey".

"Batvinia (national soup) – is not only composed of raw herbs, berries, chopped cucumbers, black bread, lumps of ice, and cold fish, but the whole of these ingredients swim in cold kvass".

In these recipes everything is directed towards keeping the careless traveller from taking a risk; everything – the intonation, choice of words, sometimes open lies.

However it is well known that a benevolent mood is extremely important for the perception of another culture. It is also well known that communication of cultures, as well as satisfaction with travelling is possible only with a setting of mutual comprehension or at least with a desire to understand each other, to try to look at each other without prejudice and the ideas which some guidebooks impose.
