@@Motor4ik33, цитата из Википедии: Zefir is derived from the traditional Russian pastila confectionery, but with added egg white foam and a gelling agent. An addition of unwhipped egg whites to the recipe originated in the town of Kolomna sometime during the 15th century, and in the 19th century the zefir dessert most likely emerged in its modern form with whipped egg whites due to a French adaptation on the recipe that was later brought back to Russia.

Not true, you can close those jars of juice - every russian home has nylon(plastic) caps that snaps perfectly to that jar. Also Tarfun and Dushes - are the best soda I ever tried, I also like kvas. Kisel is not "jelled juice" Its juice with starch - very good for little kids and for adults with health problem, very soft on your stomach. Pryanik is not cracker - its a Ginger bread. Tvorog is not Cottage cheese - its a farmers cheese that you can buy in US. What you called a "baby food" its just what we call in US an Apple sauce. And the preserved meat - its actually my favorite - its like a stewed meat that you can add to Kasha, or soup, or veggies and have a fast ready dish (I love it because I don't like to wait to hours until stewed meat get ready). You comment about bacon is been just smoked and not cooked is funny - what kind of bacon do you think you are getting in US - surprise - its also just smoked!! The cooked one you will get only in fast food restaurant. Regardless avocado and mango - you act like in US they sell them supersoft, they are also sell them hard as a rock in supermarket and you have to wait a week until they are ready to eat.

Kissel is a Russian smoothie that is centuries old. As a flavor base, local berries are used - cranberries, cherries, currants, etc. and fruits - apples, pears, etc. That is, what grows in Russia. But you can make kissel from the exotic. American smoothies are thickened with either a banana or oatmeal - Russian jelly is thickened with starch (potato or corn). In both cases, thickening occurs with starch, but bananas do not grow in Russia. Because of the thickener, the American smoothie is opaque. Russian kissel is always transparent (but colored because of the berries). A smoothie requires a chopping mechanism (mixer, blender) - Russian kissel is made without sophisticated equipment, just a saucepan and a stove (fire). It's hot in America, so smoothies are made cold. It is cold in Russia, so kissel is usually served hot or warm (it is not so tasty cold). By changing the amount of starch, Russian kissel can be very liquid or thicker. This allows you to use it both for drinking and as a gravy for pancakes, cheesecakes or other dishes. The calorie content of kissel is from 75 to 350 kilocalories per 100 gr. It has an enveloping effect, protecting the mucous membrane of the digestive organs, it is included in the menu for people with problems of the gastrointestinal tract. Like smoothies, the liquid base can be either water or milk. It should be noted that oats and banana can cause unpleasant toilet consequences. Starch does not cause such effects.

7:15 Russia has a law prohibiting the drinking of alcoholic beverages in public places, in other words, on the street. And people often want to drink alcohol, for example in the park or by the water. You can hide a bottle of beer in a paper bag or something else so that the police do not fine you. Therefore, some manufacturers produce bottles of beer already in a paper bag, as an advantage. Usually such a small paper bag is difficult to find and is sold in stores very rarely.

[@ПавелРвачёв-ч3ъ]

In Russia, the paper on a bottle of beer plays more of a brand role, with our police you will not be able to enter into a legal controversy "do they have the right to detain you if you drink alcohol in paper." If you argue, you will be detained harshly, you will spend half a day in the police station, harshly, and you will receive a fine. I think it's right. But, anyway, it happens that people drink in public places at their own risk.

My experience (2014-2020) was if you weren't drinking a big bottle and didn't act like a pizdets, nobody cared.

So about cheese, Tvorog is just the something like what we known in the portuguese speaking world as Requeijão, it is a sub product of cheese, once the Molka resulting of cheese it will be cooked and the result filtered is Requeijão/Tvorog. The poles have it also but they ffremented it, so the polish variant is sour and the portuguese/russian/georgian variant is sweetish. In Portugal we eat it with pumpkin marmalade, strange enough it is just delicious. Tvorog/Requeijão is really something very natural, if you know how to do cheese, you know without not much of extra-work you get very easy, wo so I wonder what they really do to get those extra stuff in other EU countries like Ricota in Italy or Quark in Germany...

Tushenka is not a poor mans meat :)) It's basically pieces of meat boiled under pressure with a bit of black pepper and bay leaf. What you picked in a glass jar with pork label - it's the fat juice with chonker pieces of meat inside, juice texture is like jelly but with meat/fat taste (like giga broth), and yes, we mix it with makaroni, it's called (Po-flotski) which roughly translates to fleet makaroni, they're usually served in NAVY.

[@4X10S]

Oh also, since it's cooked under pressure the texture is so soft like if you would boil it for 6 hours, it just disintegrates in your mouth ;)) If you try chicken tushenka - they usually make it on a bone, which is soft and you can literally chew it and taste the bone, kinda weird but some people like it lol..

We got this flavour with the "little orange berries" in Germany, too. Especially in Northern Germany. We call it "Sanddorn". In English it translates to "sea buckthorn". And we also have the green leaf flavour, known to us as "Waldmeister" or "woodruff" in English. This one is especially popular in the former GDR, which was occupied by the Soviet Union. Btw, I love how the labels on the beer bottles at 7:08 are in German ("Malz Weizen")😂 You can find almost everything from the pickled stuff section in Germany, too. I mean, we even have pre-boiled potatoes in jars (not joking!!)😂 No, mashed apples are not baby food! We call it "Apfelmus" in Germany and eat it together with pancakes, potato pancakes (yes, that's a thing and they're sooo good!), Kaiserschmarrn (original Austrian dish) or ice cream in one special ice cream mug called "Schwedenbecher", literally Swedish cup, which is vanilla ice cream with Apfelmus, egg liquor (yes, it contains alcohol), topped with whipped cream. And yes, we have sausage and meat in jars and cans, partly with gelatine, too. At 20:56 I finally realised why this store looks so familiar with their style of presentation and that typical orange and green colours. That chain, "Globus", is present in (at least East) Germany to date. It's all in German though.

Let me correct your wonderful speech about Russian unknown food. Russian soda is not a soda water at all, it’s sweet drink, based on some grass or fruit that was carbon detoxified. It’s natural drink. As to Kissel, it’s no jelly, it is made if fruit juce, boiled with cornstarch . It’s also natural health food and it’s good for poor stomach. They put bear in a bag not to show your drink outside. Because there’s a law that you can’ drink alcohol outside in public place .
