You see there is one strange thing with Mc Donalds - you feel like there is a stone in your stomach when you leave it, but you are hungry at next hour again:? Have not idea what they put there . Any way there are another way to spend 100 rubs to feed yourself

( But I do know what I speak about as I do have a child and wasted enough money for Mc Donald's  "happy mils":X)

So Elen, what are your favorite Russian foods and why?  I'd always appreciate some new ideas.  Also, can any of them be acceptable to someone averse to mayonaise or sour cream???

but I warn you, the french fries do taste really good and are a good value for the ruble. 

Help... french fries... no way, the real fries are from belgium...

I remember my first time in russia when i have teach to russian people how to make real mayonaise and fries...

Go away with these vegetal oil... use only fat of bief... for have light and crusty fries, fresh potatoes only ... two bad in fat... first time for cooking, stay fries be coling, second time very hot...

And mayonaise... yellow of eggs, peper, salt, mustard ( natural one with seed ), slowly mix with virgin olie first pression...

Sorry guys, ... fries, mayonaise and beer are the speciality of Belgium...

But Russia have lot of speciality... usually, after a trip in Russia of 3 week, i need some regime for loose the 5 kilo i have take !!!

salad "Olivie" I think. And don't know why:D

Also I like soup "salyanka" and soup with sorrel, and "okroshka" (in summer)

I don't like Pelmeni because I'm lazy to cook them by myself and those wich you can buy in frozen condition are full crap (to my mind because of soy they put there instead of meat:X I feel sick if I test a soy in anything)

Can't remind any "Russian"second course :D

Ok - potatos with home made mushrooms (I prefer pickled Boletus luteus) with fried meat

Drinks. Kvas in summer. And home made fruit drink from cranberry all round year:D

Nobody knows what they put in that food. There is no nutritional value to the food. So many chemicals that your stomach can not process! :shock: 

"Welcome to Mcdonalds! Would like the the number 2 combo? You get both a heart attack and clogged arteries today! Would like us to supersize that for you?" 

The latest stat on life expectancy in the United States shows that they may have to lower life expectancy by a year or two because of all the fast food and junk food Americans eat. Not to mention that 33% of all children are overweight and diabetes is becoming widespread because of our poor diets. "yes, please supersize that for me":P

Actually, that's not quite true.  The source of the beef used by Mac D's is elderly dairy cattle no longer suitable for breeding and milking.  They have no intentions of using any part of the cow for steaks or roasts anyway, so they turn the whole thing into hamburger.  I think it comes out USDA grade B or C, but it is  still wholesome meat and quite edible.  We still have laws, or rules, governing food quality in this country.  The *Road Kill Cafe* is actually a French idea.

The source of this information was a first hand conversation I had with a member of the Post family, who bought the first Micky D's franchise sold by the company, (in Kansas City, I think).

Oh...... What a self-confidence. Do not judge Russian women according to American ones. I am 36 but look much younger. And this doesn't mean I do not eat smetana, lol. :D

"salad" doesn't always mean "greens"

(and I didn't understand the other part of sentence. Sorry:?)

"greens" = vegetables (examples are lettuce, carrots, spinach, cucumber, tomatoes etc.)

My wife makes a *Russian Salad* which consists of a lot of boiled veggies, primarily beets and carrots, sweet peas, the odd potato and some raw onion and beet, dill, or onion tops (greens).  The whole thing is bound together with mayo.

If you salt it enough it's kind of tasty.

She sez it's typical Russian.

JB - what you are saying is an example of a high quality salad, which I believe is not the norm.

High quality you say?  Well, she's pretty high quality herself.  There's always a tupperware bowl in the frig full of the stuff.

Yeah, you're right, Elen. But..... classical reciepe of vinaigrette is - boiled vegetables + special dressing: olive oil, vinegar, salt, sugar, pepper (do not remember the proportions of these ingredients exactly).

So.... One uses vegetable oil for dressing, another - mayonnaise, another - special dressing I wrote about above.
