I think it is good idea to make a "russian food & English language" project

This is Russian, right? Or is it from the Caucasus?
On the backside there are always pictures of people who claim to be approx. 150 years old :lol:
Why? Because they drank Kefir...
Yes, it is Russian word and it is from the Caucasus.Quote:

The Caucasus was always closly related with Russia. Moreover the entire Caucasus and even a big part of Transcaucasia was a part of Russian Empire, so Russians borrowed many thing from there.
It is realy so :wink:Quote:

Do you know the yoghurt is originated from Bulgarian mountains? Nowbody remember this and not call it "Bulgarian yoghurt" but kefir do.
Kefir is from Tibet :-) http://www.kombuchapilz.de/english/milkkefirhistory.htm

Just a note about the pelmeni recipe provided by Studyr. If you can make pasta by hand it's not hard, if you can't you will make a bloody mess! Trust me on this.
I've made it since but used a pasta machine and saved an hour of cleaning and a bit of sanity.
I think котлеты should definitely be on the list! (In US English, I might translate the word as "meatloaf burgers" -- although some people might prefer the term "croquette".)
And I would mention Бородинский хлеб as a very popular style of so-called "Russian black bread." (Which is actually a light brown rye bread -- more sour and heavy than American rye breads, often flavored with coriander seeds instead of caraway seeds, and not as dark as German-American "pumpernickel", which gets its almost-black color from caramelized sugar.)
Then there are the so-called "vegetable caviars" which can be made from finely chopped mushrooms, pumpkins, eggplants, etc. -- there are many variants using different vegetables. But "eggplant caviar" (баклажанная икра) is possibly the most common type.
Yes, "squash" is the general term for most varieties of кабачки -- except of course for the type known as "zucchini".
The tiny little dish of rare and costly "заморская икра, баклажанная" in Ivan Vaselyevich Changes Careers was, I've read, "stunt-doubled" by кабачковая икра! (I would guess because the color looked more attractive on film.)
I would add квашеная капуста to the list.
Шашлык seems not traditionally Russian to me.
The word "Kefir" with a Caucasian looks pretty weird.
I think they have their own name for it in their languages, because the word kafir means something else than this product.
У меня вопрос. На Западе едят кашу? В Англии едят овсянку - это понятно. А мою любимую пшённую? Рисовую? Ячневую? Манную?
Это же такая вкуснятина, особенно с утра.
kefir :o im surprise :) we in indonesia also know this drink ^_^

The food I loved to eat in Russia is Bliny, Sirniki, Kasha, Pirog, and Borscht. These are my crush nowadays.
