Tasting Russia: December 2009

http://tastingrussia.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Explorations in Russian Cuisine. Friday, December 18, 2009. Many people know the Russian word "ikra" as "caviar," but in fact, it is also means vegetable puree/pate. I have not been able to figure out the reason for the use of the same word to mean both things, but I'm guessing it has something to do with "ikra" being a spread of some type (? Store-bought versions of ikra are also quite good, however, and usually do not contain many extra preservatives or artificial ingredients. The "Veres" version i...

Tasting Russia: The End of This Blog

http://tastingrussia.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-blog.html

Explorations in Russian Cuisine. Sunday, January 30, 2011. The End of This Blog. After I returned to the U.S. from Russia, I struggled to figure out how to continue this blog. While I wanted to continue to explore Russian food, I felt it would be difficult to commit to writing a blog about food from a country I no longer lived in. I started a few different blogs but have had trouble keeping up with any of them. I hope to start something new soon. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The End of This Blog.

Tasting Russia: January 2010

http://tastingrussia.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

Explorations in Russian Cuisine. Friday, January 15, 2010. Vegetarian Food in Russia. Vegetarianism is not widely understood or popular in Russia, but I have discovered that it is not too difficult to be a vegetarian in Russia, in you are not too strict about your diet and if you use a little creativity. Japanese food has become remarkably popular throughout Russia, and in some cases, it seems like every fourth restaurant serves some form of it. Miso soup, cucumber and avocado rolls, vegetable fried ...

Tasting Russia: October 2009

http://tastingrussia.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

Explorations in Russian Cuisine. Friday, October 30, 2009. As you can tell, I'm a big fan of dairy products of all types. In Tatarstan, I've tried a few dairy products than are different from the products in other parts of Russia. One is Katyk (pictures above), and the other is kort (below). I have been unable to figure out exactly the difference in how kefir and katyk are made and why they taste different. If anyone has the answer, please let me know! Wednesday, October 28, 2009.

Tasting Russia: Uzbek Food in Russia

http://tastingrussia.blogspot.com/2010/01/uzbek-food-in-russia.html

Explorations in Russian Cuisine. Monday, January 11, 2010. Uzbek Food in Russia. Central Asian food is remarkably easy to find and quite popular in Russia. Many fast-food stands sell Central Asian foods like somsa (meat-filled pastries) and are usually run by Central Asian immigrants. There are also sit-down restaurants serving Central Asian food, some of them run by Central Asians themselves but most run by ethnic Russians. February 7, 2010 at 12:14 PM.

Tasting Russia: Bitochki

http://tastingrussia.blogspot.com/2009/11/bitochki.html

Explorations in Russian Cuisine. Monday, November 30, 2009. I have recently discovered "bitochki." Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a good translation for bitochki; my favorite online dictionary. The plate of bitochki above are cauliflower bitochki. I have also tried broccoli and squash bitochki, which are both very good. All have a mild flavor and basically taste like a mildly flavored pancake. However, they oftentimes have a very strong scent!
