Speaking about Russian cuisine (Workbook p.21)

Eating Habits in Russia

I am going to talk about eating habits in my country.
There is a Russian proverb that says “shchi and kasha are our food” meaning that all we need to survive are cabbage soup and porridge. However, we do eat different things too! 

For breakfast, we might have a bowl of kasha (which is a type of porridge) or eggs or even a sandwich with a cup of tea or coffee.

Soups are very popular in Russia and we have soups for every season and every occasion. Salads are also popular and depending on the season these could be made from cabbage or pickled vegetables and may include meat, fish or eggs with a dressing of mayonnaise. These foods are very healthy because they are made with natural, nutritious ingredients.

These days more people do eat fast foods for convenience though, especially in the big cities and this is not so healthy.



Personally I prefer to eat at home generally, because home cooking is better, and you know what is in it. For special occasions we sometimes go to a restaurant. In the city there is a wide range of restaurants offering food from all over the world. We like to try different international cuisine for special occasions.



I love eating blini too and whenever there is a holiday we make lots of them. If it is a very special occasion we put caviar on them and they are simply the best.
