So tasty: what do foreigners eat in Russia?

Top of the best Russian dishes, according to foreign fans.

Having arrived in another country, we try to try as many local dishes as possible. This allows us to immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of “another land”. Today Russia has a unique situation – the guests of the 2018 World Cup have the opportunity to taste the national cuisines of 32 countries. And while soccer fans exchange recipes, we have compiled the top 8 best Russian dishes, according to foreign fans.

Pancakes

Foreigners compare blini to the more familiar pancakes. But while pancakes are eaten with honey, berries or sweet syrup, pancakes can be not only sweet, but also with herbs, salted fish, caviar or cheese. Guests of our country appreciated just such a serving.

Dumplings

Fans with great pleasure try this dish and even try to mold them themselves. Dumpling sets are now especially popular in restaurants as an opportunity to try several different kinds of dumplings or dumplings.

I ate a lot of pelmeni while I was in Russia. And to be honest, now I don’t know how I will live without them.

Beef stroganoff

Another dish in the top of orders in restaurants. Beef stroganoff is very much loved by foreigners because of its simplicity and tender combination of beef and hot sour cream sauce.

Pyshki

Visitors call pyshki “Russian doughnuts”, but this is not quite true. The Polish word doughnut most often means a sweet cake with a hole in the middle, which assumes a filling in the form of jam, jam or jelly. A doughnut does not contain any filling, usually the product is simply sprinkled with powdered sugar on top.

Super tasty doughnuts from Pyshechnaya! Only 15 rubles ($ 0.32) for this sweet delight, fried to perfection! A must-try in St. Petersburg!

Borscht

Hot thick soups have never been popular abroad. In other countries, light vegetable broths or puree soups are more common. Tourists are conquered by this dish with its rich red color and variety of ingredients.

Ukha

Ukha is very popular in food trucks at the 2018 World Cup. Among its many varieties, soccer fans prefer to eat this dish in the form of cream soup with cream and bread.

Herbal tea

Foreigners are well known to native Russian forest teas, prepared from herbs with the addition of berries. Ivan tea and drinks based on currant and strawberry leaves are especially popular.

Russian herbal tea, unexpectedly delicious.

Appetizers

Zucchini caviar, tomatoes with cheese, pickles, beet and herring, surprisingly, also very much liked the guests of the World Cup. But they did not appreciate the kolodets, as they sincerely do not understand why to make jelly unsweetened and use meat for its preparation.
