[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rice pilaf, beef stroganoff, buckwheat w/mushrooms, or whatever leftovers we had from dinner. I use thermos to keep it warm until lunch.
As for embarrassment - my kids embrace their heritage, not embarrassed by it. So, even though some kids @ school think[b] Russian version of potato salad[/b] stink, my kids beg me to make it just so they can have it for lunch. [/quote]
Recipe please? Might be a nice surprise for my Russian DH (who can't even boil water  :wink: )![/quote]
Oh, there are as many recipes as cooks (same for borsch  :wink:)

Comments from native: 
- you can replace boiled chicken with other meat - ham, or even bologna (I like boiled beef tongue, but it's a bit extreme for most Americans).
- green peas - use canned one, they taste better in salad
- dill is optional
- might use sweet onion rather than green
- you can add tart apple like Granny Smith, peeled and diced.[/quote]
Thank you! Looks delish     :) ![/quote]
