Best Foods to Eat in Russia

Russia is a country that boasts of a lot of things and is definitely one of the most important countries in the world and boasts of rich culture and heritage.

Today, we are going to be looking at the very best foods to eat in Russia; these foods will make you lick your fingers in enjoyment, as they are amazingly well prepared and exquisite.

They are:

Borscht

Beetroot soup in a glass with a yogurt ice cube

Borscht is a beet soup that originated in Ukraine and was quickly adopted as a Russian speciality as well. Beets may seem like a strange base for soup to many Westerners, but there are plenty of reasons that this hearty soup is one of Russia’s most famous dishes. It is full of meat and sautéed vegetables, including cabbage, carrots, onions, and potatoes. It can be served hot or cold, and is best served with a dollop of fresh sour cream on top; it is one of the very best foods to eat in Russia.

Shchi

Rice and smothered cabbage soup

Shchi is a typical cabbage soup made from either fresh or fermented cabbage. While different recipes call for various ingredients, shchi often contains potatoes, carrots, onions, and possibly some type of meat such as chicken. The cabbage can also be replaced with sauerkraut, which is then called sour shchi. The meal deserves a place on the list of best foods to eat in Russia.

Solyanka

Solyanka is a thick soup that is plentiful enough to be a meal in itself. This soup is made with various types of meat, including sausage, bacon, ham, and beef, as well as vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, onions, and potatoes. Chopped pickles and the traditional lemon slice garnish play an important role in giving this recipe its sour flavour. It is often also made with fish and pickled cucumbers, I personally recommend this one as one of the best foods to eat in Russia.

Varenie

Two glass jars of raspberry and blueberry preserve in syrup

Varenie or varenye is used as a jam, or for pie fillings and in dessert, but is made in a different way and has a different consistency. For softer fruits like berries and stone fruits, sugar is added and the fruit allowed to macerate until the sugar has dissolved and a syrup is formed – this is then briefly heated. Harder fruit and nuts are cooked for longer in the sugar syrup, but there is no ‘gelling’ as with jam. You may come across versions where the fruit remains uncooked or has been tossed in sugar after being cooked in syrup.

Pelmeni

Pelmeni is considered the national dish of Russia. They are pastry dumplings are typically filled with minced meat and wrapped in thin, pasta-like dough. They can be served alone, slathered in butter and topped with sour cream, or in a soup broth. It is definitely a favourite in Russia and Eastern Europe and is one of the best foods to eat in Russia!

Blini

russian foods blini with caviar

Blini are a wheat pancake rolled with a variety of fillings: jam, cheese, sour cream, caviar, onions, or even chocolate syrup. It is Russia’s equivalent to a crepe. At any restaurant where you aren’t sure of any of the other dishes, blini are always a safe bet. Blini are such an important part of Russian cuisine, a festival called Maslenitsa celebrates the beginning of spring with them. These and so much ore have earned these pancakes a place on the list of best foods to eat in Russia.

Russian vinaigrette

Russian vinaigrette is a salad based around diced cooked beetroots, potatoes, carrots and onions. It is flavoured with a sharp, vinegary element through the addition of sauerkraut and/or brined pickles, and typically has a vinaigrette dressing. The salad is usually a pink colour from the beetroot and may also have green vegetables such as peas and beans added.

  • A good example would be how inventory is pre-built months in advance to meet the high seasonal demand and is stored in typical warehouses before being sent to a distribution center for customer service. However, the importance of warehouses in supply chain has gone down and the distribution centers have now emerged as the nerve centers of the modern supply chains. Keenan Luneau
