National cuisines of different countries

Traditional Russian Cuisine Traditional Russian cuisine is known for being heavy and hearty, with a lot of meat, potatoes, sour cream and mayonnaise. Many dishes, such as pelmeni and pirozhki, can be found in other Eastern European countries. Here are a few examples of traditional Russian cuisine to try when you visit Moscow or St Petersburg: Pelmeni are filled with a mix of meat, pepper, onions and garlic. The meat is typically pork, beef or lamb and the dough is as thin as possible. In Siberia, pelmeni are traditionally frozen outdoors in the winter and later boiled in salted water before serving with melted butter or sour cream. Shchi is a cabbage soup that has been the traditional first course in Russia for over a thousand years. In addition to cabbage, the soup may include meat, carrots, onions, celery garlic and pepper. Blini are thin pancakes that were traditionally prepared at the end of winter in Russia to honor the rebirth of the new sun during Maslenitsa. The pancakes are made from wheat. They may be topped with butter, sour cream, fruit or even caviar.
