Wow Aragorn are you make alone food, or your wife or girl.
That depends of what kind of food... Russians do not buy meat by pieces...)))) They buy the parts of animals by kilograms... So some kind of food is making only by men...
For example BBQ... Well, Russians will laugh at the BBQ a la Euro/American style...
Cos that is nothing for poor Russians...))))
If to count - there will be around 2-3 kgs of meat on one person...
And all is preparing on the real fire with boxes of Vodka and beer...
So you can imagine our BBQ parties and tons of food...
:ps: Do not believe russians, who say "we have nothing to eat", cos "nothing to eat" for russian is a normal usual euro-dinner...))))))
