I never been to Russia but I tried some of them in North American local restaurants. I got addicted to it and wish I can visit Russia someday for a grand food tour ❤️❤️

[@TimKirbysTravel]

You’ll have the best time! I hope you can make it over here soon ☺️

[@Виктория-в2ь7й]

Конечно приезжайте)))) с любовью, из России❤

🤩🤩Buckwheat with pork is the best because pork gives tons of fat flavor so if there was only beef or chicken never get it it's good but far from porky good :)

[@inna5022]

I miss Russian food so much, please post more videos like that!

[@TimKirbysTravel]

I will, watch this space 😉

[@soulofnature6537]

🤩🤩I love holodets it's a meat in jello it can be made with chicken or pork or beef probably pork or beef the best and jello is out of the broth of that meat with lots of garlic onion and other spices 0 sugar but only salty yumz... I'm sure you don't like it because you brain still can't get it how can the meat be in jello because out west jello is so sweet and fruity or chocolate hahaha

[@alexneo5352]

Damn one of my favorite vids in your series. Made me damn hungry

[@TimKirbysTravel]

I have to start putting disclaimers on videos about food that you shouldn’t watch on an empty stomach!

[@soulofnature6537]

🤩yumz🤩Fish should smell a lot like fish and taste the same that's another thing a hate about USA most fish sucks out west and the Japanese style does it even worst they take fish and taste of fish completely out of fish so it taste like air try it once and not buying again eating air for so much cash not my thing :)

🤩🤩You know why meat smell strange to you because in USA there is no smell of real meat but only chemicals and GMOs even if they say out west no GMOs there is all over so the real meat smell you can get only in Russia and its so good so as the real meat taste Russians also feed cows and pigs and other differently :)

[@fieryapple7020]

Hi! I'm really glad you loved the food so much. As a Russian from the south, I have never even heard of some of these food items, so it's all very interesting to know culinary traditions from other regions.

Next time try холодец with горчица. It should work.

Тим, вы не понимаете самую суть холодца! Относитесь к нему как к нежнейшей и самой натуральной в мире ветчине, которая просто тает во рту, обволакивая его мясным вкусом.

[@TimKirbysTravel]

Интересный подход!

[@jenyatungus6130]

По сути, холодец, это суп, который в давние времена крестьяне брали с собой в дорогу в дорожной сумке, а потом на привале разогревали его на костре), а со временем он стал просто холодной закуской)))

🤩🤩Russian food and drinks is the best in the world most organic got best taste and got best smell like it should nothing like that you going to find in USA but mostly chemically infused foods and drinks... second place I would give Chinese food and 3rd place to Japanese food😋

[@Melitulf]

A tincture? I suppose it would be like something along the lines of an herbal, like Jägermeister or something like gin. As in flavored with herbs and/or spices

[@TimKirbysTravel]

Could be! Would you try?

[@Melitulf]

@@TimKirbysTravel Absolutely would.

[@jenyatungus6130]

Yep

[@Виктория-в2ь7й]

Да нет, настойки бывают разные: на ягодах, например, муж делает настойку на клюкве,а так она бывает на вишне, на смородине, на облипихе, на чем угодно по сути, на хрене, есть ещё перцовка, перец добавляют, при простуде помогает. По сути это ягоды или перец или хрен в водке.

I'm yet to meet a foreigner who would like holodets, most would just microwave it if they are absolutely forced to have it. I guess it's that kind of a dish you have to grow up with to enjoy it.

[@TimKirbysTravel]

That’s what I think sometimes too…

[@LumiStitch]

at 17:40 you actually say "what is that gun powder" in Russian "порох" lol made me laugh! by the way "холодец" its like headcheese. you either love or hate it. I like "холодец when its just cooked and still hot not gelatinized, and has actual pieces of meat with bones. when its cooked and hot it tastes just like a homemade meat soup, with a lot of meat!

indeed, keep eating snakes and rats instead.

Every cuisine has things that are very weird to foreigners. Russian cuisine has insane amounts of really good “normal” food too, so it’d be a real shame to not have the food when you come to Russia.

[@MrRoninGT]

No need to go to Russia. You won't be welcome there. Russian cuisine is too good and healthy for all sorts of monkeys, rats and snakes to try it.
