Russian way of eating
In this entry, I am going to give you my idea of people’s diet in my country.
Personally, I think most people in Russia eat unhealthily. To understand why that is happening, we should start from the premise that Russian cuisine is very scarce. It’s largely conditioned upon harsh climatic conditions. As you may guess, one can hardly grow a variety of veggies, fruits and nuts in extremely continental climate zone.
As a result, typical Russian diet includes mostly meat and dough (pelmeni, vereniki, piroshky, belyashi, blini, oladyi). All this stuff is nothing but what you call fast food in the West but Russian call it traditional food.
Ironically, the staple ingredients of Russian diet can be reasonably reduced to the above two ones plus grechka (buckwheat), the thing Russians are crazy about, whereas the French prefer using it only as a feed for pigs.
More interestingly, one of the specialties of Russian cuisine is pigs feet jelly, which sounds disgusting even for me, a native Russian. However, some Russian would regard it as a gourmet item. That’s the weirdest dish I can think of. Why on earth would anyone want to eat feet? To be perfectly honest with you, I wouldn’t ever like to know how it tastes.
To conclude, I think, in terms of geography, people’s diet in Russia was destined to be unhealthy and it has got even worse since Russians were exposed to Western and Oriental-style fast food, such as burgers and hot dogs, doners and shawarmas.
