That's all the same. Питер is the megapolis as well as Moscow and even worse in some ways for it's more cramped, narrow and crowded.Originally Posted by VendingMachine
I beleive, if you have a time. But how often do you have a dinner at home per week?Not true. We cook. We love to cook.
Why do You think eating borsch is a sign of stucking-in-the-mud? Though... tastes differ. I don't care. I just prefere what i like. Of course i'm talking about everyday but not a holiday meal.So what makes you lot so stuck-in-the-mud foodwise? Borsch, my foot. My grandmother doesn't remember the last time she had borsch and she's a very culinarilly frum lady.
Tell me the truth, however horrible it be! I this so dangerous? Guess one must eat whole the root so as this misfortune to happen.Do you know that beets make you pee red?
You're certainly right about kiosks. But I mean a good home-made food. People likes potato, they eat it, they plant it on their kitchen gardens, and have a good store of one in their cellars for the winter. That has really become a national food since was brought to Russia from America and Europe by Peter the First.
That means that potato is rather a good substitute for bread which as you know "хлеб всему голова" in russian culture. Yes that's may be regarded as a proverb. Картошка- второй хлеб.It is also called "второй хлеб".
>Is this some sort of idiom or something? Spuds called "second bread"? What's this supposed to mean?
