Умоляю, нужен краткий пересказ на ! what kind of food do russians like? here's an email sent to the spotlight on russia website. dear spotlight on russia, hi! i'm brian rogers from barnsley in the uk. my favourite food is fish and chips, but my mum says we should try something different. what kind of food do russians like? read the replies from our website. here in russia, we have lots of different soups like borsch, solyanka, and okroshka, but my favourite is the shchi that my mum makes. it's a cabbage soup with carrots and spicy herbs in it. i don't like shchi with meat, but if you add a little smetana (a kind of sour cream), it tastes delicious with rye bread. antonina (15), volgograd i love maslenitsa because i love blini. they're pancakes and there's one week of the year when we eat lots of them. you can cover them with butter and eat them with sour cream or caviar, but don't try eating them with both because it tastes disgusting. valentin (14), the pelmeni that my dad makes are fantastic. pelmeni are a type of dumpling that are usually made with a minced meat filling made from 45% beef, 35% lamb and 20% pork, but my dad says he has his own secret recipe. they can be frozen until you want to eat them. you just boil them till they float and then wait 2-5 minutes more before serving them with sour cream or mustard. raisa (15), barnaul i'm a real meat eater and i love shashlyk, a kind of shish kebab. you can buy a shashlyk in restaurants, but i like getting one from street vendors who roast them on skewers over wood or charcoal. roman (15), st petersburg i've just learnt how to make katlyeti. you put milk, chopped onions, ground beef and pork in a bowl and mix them thoroughly. it's a good idea to dust your hands with flour before you roll the mixture into patties because this stops everything from getting too sticky. then you just pop the patties into a frying pan and cook them. everyone in my family likes my katlyeti. polina (13), moscow
