12. Russian Milk Shake
" Delightful dessert to cool off on a hot night. "
-Borshch, of course, is beet soup, and one of the most famous Russian traditional foods
-You may have already heard of pirozhki. These little pastries can be packed full of potatoes, meat,
cabbage, or cheese.
-Caviar, or ikra is really something to get worked up about in Russia. Briny and sharp, it is often served on
dark, crusty bread or with blini, which are like pancakes or crepes. Caviar on buttered bread is a
popular zakuska.
-Blini are also served rolled with a variety of fillings: jam, cheese, onions, or even chocolate syrup. At any
restaurant where you aren’t sure of any of the other dishes, blini are always a safe bet.
-Russian kebabs are called shashlyk. Like any kebab, they can be a combination of meat and vegetables.
-Pelmeni are pastry dumplings filled typically with meatballs.
-You can expect to find sour cream, or smetana, accompanying almost any Russian traditional food—
with crepes, in soups, and even sometimes in dessert.
-Russians love ice cream called morozhenoe.
