A TYPICAL CANTEEN IN RUSSIA | What food do Russian people eat? 🇷🇺

Heading to a 'Stolovaya' or canteen to try some typical Russian food. You can find Stolovaya's (or typical Russian / Soviet cafe's) all over the former Soviet Union, from Ukraine to Kazakhstan, and they are the best place to try local favourites at the best prices.
These typical Russian food halls have all sorts to choose from; from Ukrainian Borsch, to Russian Olivier salad, Solyanka soup and Chicken Kiev with mash potato. The food in these Stolovaya are typical of what an average Russian family would eat at home. We went to a fairly new one in the centre of Adler (Sochi) but they come in all forms, from the modern to the more Soviet. 🇷🇺

A TYPICAL CANTEEN IN RUSSIA | What do food Russian people eat? 🇷🇺

[@williamegler8771]

I worked with a lady from Russia. She was used to cooking for a large family and I had a hard time adjusting her recipe for just her and her husband. I was one of the beneficiaries of leftovers that she bought to work. Everything she made was delicious.

[@MattandJulia]

Amazing! Interested what different dishes you tried? 🥰

This why I love KZbin. I would never have thought to search for a Russian Canteen video. I'm a farm kid from the American Mid South. Except for the delicious looking chocolate cake everything looked and sounded kind of weird, but I would love to try some. Good food is universal. I would enjoy treating you guys to some Memphis dry rub ribs and sweet tea, house wine of the south. Thank you for the entertaining video.

[@MattandJulia]

So glad you found the video and enjoyed it Richard 🥰 lots of love to the mid south ❤️

[@petedavis7970]

I would certainly try almost anything, but it didn't really look that appetizing to me. It actually looked almost exactly how I would expect Russian food to look, which makes me think it's going to taste exactly how I would expect Russian food to taste. Actually, I'm sure some of it would be pretty good, but for the most part, I don't think I'd be very impressed. But I'd certainly be willing to be proven wrong. Don't see myself going to Russia anytime soon, though.

Greetings from Finland! Cabbage rolls are one of my favourite cabbage food. Those had alot of stuffing, but i refer little less becouse i love the taste of cabbage it self. Cabbage also has so strong good flavor it self that there is no need other spices than salt and pepper. I think most of the finnish people loves cabbage rolls. We usualy eat those with smashed potatoes and simple brown gravy. I also like to have ryebread and milk as i eat cabbage foods in general. Those fit fine together. I also love borch soop. So that would be grate place for me to eat. That liver pancake thing reminds me finnish liverfood made out of grinded liver that has mixed with grinded meat, fined onions and seasoning (salt & pepper). Then those are baked as small flat beefs and roasted in the pan. Smashed potatoes and lingonberrie jam beside and you have tasty dinner on your plate.

[@Strikan33]

Here in Croatia we are made it with sour cabbage rolls calling iz "sarma". Turkish left it and also (in Bosnia) sarma with vine leaves. There are mix of spices in the markets so you need cabbage, meat, rise and egg (someone don`t use eggs). Same mix is using in summer to fill green pepper. 😀

Glad you enjoyed it 🥰❤️❤️❤️

[@sarahstrong7174]

That is really good food. In the U.K. that would cost at least 3x the amount & probably 4-6x what you paid. To be honest my friends & I would probably be unable to afford such a meal. We like to go out but often eat mainly fried potatoes because everything is so expensive.

[@MattandJulia]

For sure, this was actually a slightly more expensive canteen than usual too 😮❤️

I have had olivier, chicken kiev, schuba, and red borsch, there are Russian restaurants here in Dallas, been wanting to go to them again soon, especially to try solyanka.

[@LDeLSo]

Olivier is pretty easy to cook at home. Even if not experienced in cooking. Try it with fresh and pickled cucumbers mix. And to not add carrots:) (it's up to you :) Schuba, and red borsch not big deal too.

The key ingredient for Solaynka is Brez which is sauted Pickles and tomato paste.

[@annecaunce]

Not visited Russia, but I've been to a couple of Polish milk bars which I think are a similar thing? They're absolutely the best way to fill up on cheap, tasty, authentic local food and I'd choose one over a fancy touristy place every time.

[@MattandJulia]

Yes really similar Annie 🥰 Totally agree! ❤️

[@user-lj8kg4jd1l]

The food is the samw, but Polish milk bars are heavily subsidized by the state. Russian stolovayas work in free market conditions.

[@YuriUK]

I don’t think ever will visit that country now.

[@seewise6383]

Polish food is much better. Even the Russians I work w/ say "Unless your family food is Russian, then Polish food is better ".

Yes, apricot jam in a chocolate cake really lifts it and stops the sweetness becoming cloying.

Very interesting. We used to have such places in my part of the USA but COVID lockdowns put them out of business. I hope somebody tries it again soon. Your food looks decent.

Spasiba for the wintertime tour (down south) of the Sochi cafeteria and review of the "home cooking" offerings. In Finland (w smaller pop.) only university student unions have such spacious cafeterias. Otherwise the closest equivalents would be the new so-called food courts offering a variety of national and international dishes. Incidentally, cabbage rolls (kaalikääryleet = golubtsi) are considered Finnish national cuisine. Chocolate cake, chicken Kiev and borscht are also popular. During the dark and cold winters hearty soups like (beetroot) borsht and selyanka are great pick-me-ups! The same goes for coffee up here in the Far North. Ваше здоровье!

[@janariviik2634]

It's always a daunting task to go to a canteen in Russia, not speaking any Russian. I can read cyrillic (slowly) and can guess what some of the words mean, and then it's all about hoping that nobody will ask me any questions. Sometimes I've seen the signs written in cursive, which I can't read, and that makes the issue even greater. Then it becomes about the accuracy of your pointing skills.

[@user-ny2dx7lz3s]

Главное не бойся и всё получится 😃👍

Ahhh totally agree regarding the cursive, it freaks me out 😅 Learning Cyrillic is a great help though 🤗 Matt

[@mikethompson2650]

Ok, let me start first that I really enjoyed the video and I have been seeing more and more Russian videos recently. But I was born early 50s and I opinions of Russian were formed in the cold war and in the books/novels that came out of that era. So I wasn't expecting what I am seeing. I have never seen anything from or about Russia as it is today only what it was like in the 80s. Please forgive but I wasn't expecting such a canteen or videos of supermarkets in Russia that I have seen recently. I am just glad it isn't like what I read about in the bad old days.

Many of us grew up with propaganda. We are all more alike than we are different.

Even parts of Africa have modern buildings, cars, western amenities, and restaurants. It’s just that the rich can afford it while the average person cannot.

You just grew up on false Western propaganda, thereby finally degraded. Stop watching TV and find alternative sources of information,😏

In the states we would call this a "cafeteria" and the style of food "comfort." When I was a student, it was one my favorite places to dine. The dishes were authentic. My favorite chains were Morrison's and Piccadilly. Today only Piccadilly survives, having bought out Morrison's. Piccadilly originated in Baton Rouge LA where I went to college. It still survives there with half a dozen locations.

[@MattandJulia]

Long May it continue! 🤞🏻 Places like that are too good to lose!

[@redbeard1976]

I remember going to a Morrison's once when I was a kid on vacation in Florida. It's more of a thing in the US south, I have never seen one in the northern US states.

You're right, this canteen is "comfort" level. I think, unlike someone will shoot video with cheapest roadside eatery.

I like seeing how the real people in Russia live. I've never been there only know movies and media. It's maybe be somewhat different that where I live the narration is happy, informed and grateful.

There are very few public cafeterias in the US, and that has been true for a very long time. The military still uses this method for feeding on the bases. The fast food places were always "make to order".

What a vlog - loved it. Never thought to seek out & read up on Russian food. My ears, tastebuds both pricked up when I heard the words 'beetroot' and 'cabbage' two of my favourite foods. I don't eat liver that much but I have some lambs liver I have wanted to be more adventurous when I cook. I'll be online most of the afternoon researching & looking for cook / recipe books. You have your mother's / grandmother's versions of all dishes to make a comparison with, I do not. (Which is a good thing for me). The food looked very good & extremely appetising. I look forward to my new food adventure. Thank you for posting & for sharing. Best wishes to you all.
