Alina is one of the common names in Tatarstan and Bashkiria, I think you could easily pass for the local one. Among the Tatars there are many blue-eyed blondes, as well as brown-eyed brunettes

[@slchen3874]

Kabaeva made lot Tatar girls "Alina"

[@maratmaratov3989]

Glad that you liked our Tatar cuisine, as you see in the menu, our food consists of many meat dishes like you’ve tried in Kazakhstan. Besides culture and language, they also have very similar cuisine like ours. Next time when you will visit Tatarstan, you should try original very tasty kullama, it’s one of the best dishes what Tatar cuisine can offer to foreigners.

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thank you for the suggestion!

[@adelyablooms725]

Cool to see Tatarstan (my home country) on KZbin :) If you ever go back and make more videos in Tatarstan, I do suggest using Tatar music in the background. And if you're ever in Alberta, come and try my Mom's эчпочмак!

[@lewiswheeler6444]

There are crawfish dumplings called "pies" in southern Louisiana, that are insanely delicious that are similar

[@HS-ck7md]

Thank you for a very interesting video about Tatar food! Hope to see more videos about Tatarstan and it’s capital Kazan! 👍

Alina - is the typical tatar's name! Yes.

Милая Алинушка, вот здесь я живу ,недалеко от старой татарской слободы в Казани, если бы я знал ,что в эти дни ты была у нас,я бы обязательно примчался бы и показал все красивые места Казании пригорода,очень жаль что мы разминулись,мне очень больно,обожаем тебя

[@Dobroswet]

Чак-чак тоже люблю, ням-ням. Еще пробовал перемечи и пирог такой губадия с рисом, изюмом, курагой, очень вкусно. Успехов тебе, Синеглазка.

[@anastasiapostoev6442]

My parents were both born in Uzbekistan, but ChakChak is a famous dish- love to cook this. But we only allow ourselves to cook it on special occasions.

[@AlinaMcleod]

That's awesome! Well understandable why it would only be for special occasions; such a labor of love!

11:11 Кстати, когда Алина кушает в это время звучит музыка (песня). Это и есть традиционная татарская музыка(песня)

[@FLIGHT_MOOD]

And by the way, you also have a Tatar name, many girls are called Alina !!!

[@buket7106]

Antonio Banderas alina isnt a tatar name 😬 that tatars use this name doesnt mean its tatar.

[@konradkarlovich5801]

"Имя Алина в переводе с латинского языка означает «другая», «чужая». Это имя также распространено в Скандинавии, где считается формой имени Аделина, означающего «благородная», «великодушная», «величественная». Имя Аделина имеет французские и германские корни, поэтому имени Алина родственны имена Алин, Адель, Аделаида."

[@jreid641]

Hi Alina, very interesting. I know essentially nothing about Kazan or Tatars. I'm probably going to do some research. Thanks for sharing this.

[@CyberSpider35]

Рад, что ты хорошо проводишь время в этой стране))) В некотором роде и меня заставляет смотреть на вещи чуть... позитивнее. Никогда по-моему не пробовал особо татарскую кухню... мне и в русской не всё нравится (борщи, например... мэ... с детства не люблю), но тем не менее кулинарные видео смотреть всегда не менее интересно чем просто про путешествия. Правда, потом может пробудиться аппетит, а ничего такого же вкусного под рукой нет... становится обидно. :)

Ech pochmak is like what we call a Cornish pastie here in England so I know I’d love it Great vlog👌

[@total2199]

Alina, try also “pyaryamyach” while in Kazan. My friends in California line up when my wife (she is tatar) cooks it. Try it with chicken broth. And BTW I walked the same streets as you this September while I was visiting my son’s family. Probably, because food is so good back home my wife and I could not persuade our kids to join us in California.

Maybe the veal was from a somewhat older calf, or no longer milk-fed? I'm no expert, just trying to determine why it tasted so much like regular beef.
