[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You had me until you said there was nothing bad about Russian food.  Russian food is horrible.  All the good stuff is Polish or Georgian.  The rest is just cabbage and dill.  [/quote]

I'm counting Beef Stroganoff, Pelmeni, Syrniki, Pirozhki, Blini, Shashlik...  I know I know, you're gonna say it's "not Russian", but that's like saying tandoori isn't mainstream English food.. the fact is that without tandoori, I probably would've starved in London..[/quote]

Stroganoff yes, but inspired by other cuisines.  Pelmeni came from Siberian people.  Syrniki has Ukrainian etymology rather than Russian творог.  And certainly Russia can't lay unique claim to pancakes. A lot is borrowed/appropriated from other people and cultures.[/quote]

That’s the way of food generally. Meat in a stick is present in every culture and let’s just point this out again that there is no real red line between Russian and Ukrainian food. Other than the Russian joke about the national candy of Ukraine being сало в шоколаде - chocolate-covered salted pork fat.

Also, blini is small crepes, not pancakes. The pancake equivalent is oladiki and even there the dough is different.[/quote]
