It's popular in Russia but considered rather Caucasian cuisine (Armenia, Georgia, etc.)
Most often made from pork or lamb and on skewers.

Edit: Nice barbecue, btw!

Similar to Turkish shish here. One of my favorite foods.
 
:O Ivan used nuclear bombs to make lakes and then fish
I wonder if it is really safe especially the guy that said he found deformed mutated fish ........... and you know what Soviet was like when it came to nuclear saftey.

 
Not exactly secret.

Ivan was busted because radioactive cloud was detected over Japan in violation of the Test ban treaty.
I also imagine China was upset about radioactive cloud raining fallout throughout its territory either

Iam actually surprised that Soviet went ahead with raising fish and then consuming them, the US had project plowshare but well radiation was deemed to be too dangerous. It was interesting project in theory but rather reckless of Soviet

IMHO Wedel is the best Polish chocolate producer ;)

Those are heavenly :yumyum:
 
"Bird's milk" if I understand Polish correctly :)
We have cakes and candies made under the same brand name, they were very popular in USSR. But I never tried Polish variant.
 
Alpen Gold maybe? It's originally German IIRC, produced now in Poland, Hungary and Russia.

Idk I'll go get some more.

I sent some NZ chocolate to Saint Petersburg but it's been tied up in customs for weeks.

Indeed :) Your Polish is good :thumbsup: There's a method to eat them !
First You need to lick or bite off all the chocolate around and thus created "sponge" You pop in Your mouth and fly off to heaven (like a bird - hence the name) on flavor ! xD

edit : Provided You can resist temptation to eat them Yourself , they make a great gift - all the girls love them ! =)
 
New clean energy project by Rosatom. A bit unusual for the company known for building nuclear power plants and icebreakers.

 
Just watched a Russian supermarket video. Fairly cheap as expected, Baltika 7 is about half the price here.i can buy a 900 ml can for $3 or $4 USD, or 6 bottle for the price of

Zatecky Gus I have also found here I liked the taste of it along with Baltika 7. Baltika 9 doesn't taste so good but if you want to get plastered cheap....

Cat food seemed to be around the same price here for the same brands.

Vodka prices were very cheap. $4 USD a bottle more like $18 here.

Butter, Yoghurt, cheese seemed reasonable but serving sizes were smaller than ours. One little of yoghurt. We can buy sour cream in yogurt little here seemed similar in size to the Russian plastic 200gram bag of sour cream.

Snackfoods are about 1/3rd to 1/4 the price.


Can't buy spirits here in a supermarket though. Store layouts very similar though.

I think 1 NZD gets around 40 roubles.
 
Bread is much cheaper I guess. She says it's hard to find rye bread in America, but as I remember there was no problem with that in Canada.
Buckwheat yes, it's fairly common in Russia but rarely sold anywhere outside of former USSR.
 
Buckwheat is breakfast cereal?

One if the examples she used was fried buckwheat.

Some cereals here are really bad for you high in fat and suger.

I've never seen buckwheat here, I might try a hipster organic place. I've seen it in Russian food court videos.


I'm looking at eating very bland wheat biscuits for breakfast sexed up a bit with some fruit, milk or yoghurt.

Need to find some healthy foods I like.

Bread was cheap but you can get cheap bread here but the stuff I eat is about $1.40 a loaf.
