[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Appropriated! No credibility for you

Debating the cultural value of a country, any country, is detrimental to freedom.  As soon as you decide which countries are "worthy" you imply which countries are less worthy of their territorial integrity.  This is in part what Putin did in the run-up to the invasion of Ukraine.  Doing it back to Russia only legitimizes the idea of judging a country's worthiness for self determination.[/quote]

I was talking about Russian food for Pete’s sake! Once you start debating whether it’s Russian or “Siberian” and use the term appropriation you lose credibility sorry [/quote]

DP...  when you have a meltdown over the word "appropriation" you end up in the same cringe space as the anti-wokers who can't even define what woke means.[/quote]

Well, and I think the word appropriation is just one of those nonsensical terms that people who live in the land of unicorns take so seriously. It’s a matter of preference, nothing more. 
And no, I am not having a meltdown. I am just making my judgment. FTR I don’t take either side of the woke debate seriously. The word has been discredited by idiots but the phenomenon still exists. [/quote]
