Welcome

Russians and their food.

Russian cuisine is a collection of the different cooking traditions of the Russian people. The cuisine is diverse, as Russia is by area the largest country in the world. It is necessary to divide Russian traditional cuisine and Soviet cuisine, which has its own details. Its foundations were laid by the peasant food of the rural population in an often harsh climate, with a combination of plentiful fish, pork, poultry, caviar, mushrooms, berries, and honey. So Russian food is different everywhere, it would be much more fish in north side than in south but middle of Russia there are a lot of meat such as beef or pork.
Crops of rye, wheat, barley and millet provided the ingredients for a plethora of breads, pancakes, pies, cereals, beer and VODKA. This wholly native food remained the staple for the vast majority of Russians well into the 20th century.
