Home made food is more tasty then a food from the richest restaurants...
Russians liked to eat the good taste food...
Pizza, burgers tacos (etc.) consider as a food for poor people...
And yeah - that is truth - in Russia all family can cook... It depends of what kind of food...
And if woman cooks shashlik (BBQ almost) - it is a shame for men, as shashlik is cooked by men...
If it is a village - men will kill a porky and prepare it to be cooked... To kill animal is men's work, not women...
So from all this traditions came the main traditions of Russian cooking...
screw your Russian BBQ,(dont ban me)
Miami Seafood Beach Buffet's is what its about.
Lobster, all kinds of fish, all on a open flame, mm mmm
Lol, I saw the pieces of BBQ food... you will not fit Russians with it...
And the tastiest BBQ (shashlik) food-fish is stavrida... Dunno English word for it...
But it is the most expensive fish in Russia... And that really rocks...
Why Russians are eating a lot? Cos they drink Vodka a lot... And not to be drunk there some traditional special food "tactic"... I think polish guys have the same... Dunno though... But if they drink traditional vodka, they know exactly what to eat, when and how much... Otherwise you will fall to sleep after first bottle of vodka...)))
BTW, Russians eat and drink the same way at sauna...)))
There were many cases, when foreigners were invited to such parties and got to hospital in ambulance cos of health... And you will not see in sauna restaurants women cooking... To cut animals on parts not a women task at all...))) Guys will not respect themselves...
