>>132045 (OP) No, we typically cook lentil soup on new years day (so you have a lot of money in the new year), and also stuff like picrel. (It's basically a soup with pork meat, smoked ham, bones, skin and garlic, which becomes a jelly when you let it cool down. No gelatine is used.)
>>132045 (OP) It was nothing special. Cabbage and beef broth and two fingerling potatoes. The beef comes from beef stock. As you can tell, we are not exactly "well-to-do".
>>132195 Sounds cool. Thanks for the enlightenment. Always glad when this /int/section fulfills its function.
In Russia for some reason no one can live without Olivier salad, although I cannot deny that it is unrealistically delicious, but it is prepared not according to the original recipe of the Russian empire, but according to the Soviet one, which was created in conditions of availability of products, for example, instead of grouse meat they put boiled “doctor” sausage there. The picture on the right shows the traditional recipe and the “Soviet” recipe.
