Well, I must say, that traditional Russian cuisine is mostly oriented on soups and liquid food, than on second course and dry food. That's why it's rich for soups, but poor for second dishes. Second course is always baked, and never fried.

[B]Pirog[/B] (meaning pie) can be with meat, fish, cabbage, eggs, curds, all different vegetable fillings and mixes of fillings. And also with sweet fillings like jam, apples, etc...

[B]Pirozhki[/B] (patties). They are kind of Russian fastfood.

[B]Kulebyaka[/B], it's different from the pie (pirog), because pirog has more dough than filling, while kulebyaka has more filling than dough as you can see on the picture. Usually kulebyaka is prepared with fish or any other fillings.

[B]Pelmeni[/B] belong to second and first course at the same time. They are prepared in water, and can be eaten with water or without. I prefer with water.

[B]Bliny[/B] are pancakes. [B]Blin[/B] is pancake. They are different from Western pancakes, because they are larger and narrower, so their ends are crispy. They usually eat bliny with jams, condensed milk, sour cream. You can also put caviar in bliny.

I don't really know anything about Russian food, but that Kissel drink looks good :v:.
The Second course looks pretty "untasty" but the drinks look quite fantastic.
I just had Borsch five minutes ago.
How did you forget about pelmeni?

Once I've been to Russia, and I must say, Borsch is fucking tasty.
Pirogi are polish.
[QUOTE=Str4t0s;21734562]Pirogi are polish.[/QUOTE]
Lol, they are not.
What the hell?!
Where the heck are the Pirozhki??
How the fuck could you forget that?! :argh:
Pelmeni is the great Russian food, so I'm more upset that he forgot about that.
I wouldn't eat any of those soups
The first soup looked rather tasty, although I wouldn't touch that second one with a pole. The drinks look good, but no vodka?
Ukha is divine. Had it at a Russian buffet.
[QUOTE=deggemannen;21734670]I wouldn't eat any of those soups[/QUOTE]
Why? It's far more healthy than hamburgers.
Kissel looks really good.
[QUOTE=J4censolo;21734476]I don't really know anything about Russian food, but that Kissel drink looks good :v:.[/QUOTE]
It's not a drink. It's more jelly like.
Ever had Ethiopian food?
Nope, neither have they.
I love pelmeni but to be honest, the hungarian version of them is better.
[QUOTE=Killuah;21734860]I love pelmeni but to be honest, the hungarian version of them is better.[/QUOTE]
Post pic.
Pelmeni stuffed with meat with some cream on top are fantastic.
Kvas is about as manly any can drink get without containing alcohol.
Not too sweet, not overly bitter. Refreshing and delightful. Just awesome.

I would pick a Pirog or some Pirozhkis over hamburger or hot dog any day.
[editline]03:56PM[/editline]
I am not really into borsch because my mom for some reason always makes some extremely healthy version which is virtually tasteless, but it's still a decent meal.
[QUOTE=Soska;21734581]Lol, they are not.[/QUOTE]
Yep, aswell as Barszcz (Borscht) and Kisel (Kissel)
Nvm seems like it comes from all the eastern european countries
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borscht[/url]
Pretty much every slav country has a own version of those foods.
I fucking love Pelmeni.
Also Soljanka, although i guess that's from somewhere else.
Where are the bear steaks I am disappointed.
Joking aside, pirozhki are fucking awesome. My grandma does them with mushroom filling.

[B]Solyanka[/B] is from Russia too. It means Salty Soup.

Eating bear in Russia is a bad manner.

All of those foods were pretty much normal before the nations got steadily defined.
Whaaa? Russians eat food? I thought they subsisted solely on this.

Damn, fried pelmeni, you gotta try that shit
Also [B]Vatrushka[/B]

[quote=Wiki]Vatrushka (Belarusian, Russian and Ukrainian: Ватрушка) is a Eastern Europe pastry with a ring of dough and (cottage cheese) in the middle, often with raisins or bits of fruit, from about five inches to two and a half feet in diameter analogous with the Western European pastry known in the English world as the Danish.[/quote]
Yum :keke:
Looks like pizza.
That stuff in the OP all looks good except the stuffed fish.
