Traditional Russian food

Russian cuisine is a mix of different nations' customs and cooking traditions and the local ones. It was influenced by European, Asian, Siberian and Caucasian cuisines, forming different and interesting dishes. Many of the Russian food recipes appeared as a response to the harsh climate, that is why some of the typical Russian food includes caviar, fish, pork and the fruits and vegetables people were able to find, like berries or mushrooms. Besides the traditional food, there are also drinks that were invented many centuries ago and are still popular, like vodka or kvas.

Russian cuisine

People used seasonal vegetables and meat to cook Russian soups. Some of the most popular of them are shchi and borsch. There is also a Russian fish soup and a Russian pickle soup called solianka. A meat mixture that is stored in cans and spread on bread is pashtiet. Out of common Russian food is worth mentioning zharkoye - a beef stew with vegetables.
