    I would like to correct you. Chak chak has nothing to do with cashew. It's basically crispy cookies made from deep-fried pieces of dough mixed with honey syrup. Very tasty.

It's a very sweet and tasty dessert, wihch you won't like, if you don't like honey. By texture, it's giving more of fried cookies in syrup. It's very much quality related, and you need to find your own brand even here.

    Let me correct your wonderful speech about Russian unknown food. Russian soda is not a soda water at all, it’s sweet drink, based on some grass or fruit that was carbon detoxified. It’s natural drink. As to Kissel, it’s no jelly, it is made if fruit juce, boiled with cornstarch . It’s also natural health food and it’s good for poor stomach.

An addition of unwhipped egg whites to the recipe originated in the town of Kolomna sometime during the 15th century, and in the 19th century the zefir dessert most likely emerged in its modern form with whipped egg whites due to a French adaptation on the recipe that was later brought back to Russia.

      As a Russian who recently moved to Canada I miss quite a few food items (kefir and pelmeni mostly). But mayonnaise and ketchup?! :-)
      "Mayo" is really popular in Russia and usually has a very long shelf life, it is also not a "controlled" product, producers don't have to report substitutes as the do for milk products. I think only Vkusvill made very expensive mayo from liquid eggs. Egg content in my favorite "Sloboda" was 1.7% as per the latest roskontrol tests (and this is totally expected).
      Non of them can remotely compete Hellmanns and even with Walmart's Great Value here in Canada. And even them pale in comparison with simple home made mayo.

      In fact, not everything is so simple, when Coca-Cola left the Russian market, the factories that they left did not represent the same value, since the most important ingredient, cola syrup, was no longer supplied. For six months, the Dobry Cola company has been developing a recipe that is as similar in taste to the original as possible, of course, the taste is still different, but in my opinion, even for the better now. I have the opportunity to buy imported Coca Cola or Russian Dobry Cola, I prefer Dobry, the price is almost the same, but I like the taste more. Other brands like chernogolovka, classic cola, etc... are terribly by my opinions concerning cola taste.

    Not true, you can close those jars of juice - every russian home has nylon(plastic) caps that snaps perfectly to that jar. Also Tarfun and Dushes - are the best soda I ever tried, I also like kvas. Kisel is not "jelled juice" Its juice with starch - very good for little kids and for adults with health problem, very soft on your stomach. Pryanik is not cracker - its a Ginger bread. Tvorog is not Cottage cheese - its a farmers cheese that you can buy in US. What you called a "baby food" its just what we call in US an Apple sauce. And the preserved meat - its actually my favorite - its like a stewed meat that you can add to Kasha, or soup, or veggies and have a fast ready dish (I love it because I don't like to wait to hours until stewed meat get ready). You comment about bacon is been just smoked and not cooked is funny - what kind of bacon do you think you are getting in US - surprise - its also just smoked!! The cooked one you will get only in fast food restaurant. Regardless avocado and mango - you act like in US they sell them supersoft, they are also sell them hard as a rock in supermarket and you have to wait a week until they are ready to eat.

Almost all families had their own plots of land with houses outside the city, with vegetable gardens; this compensated for the lack of food in stores for personal consumption.

And your girlfriend must be from very poor family if she say so about her grandma’s canning. We also make salt vegetables and they’re very tasty but it should be stored in low temperature as they are made with lactobacillus ‘ help. That cans in the store is for poor people who don’t do canning at home or for lonely men who can’t do that. as that canned vegetables are not tasty.

      Pretty little amount of people have summer houses. Women who are not retired grandmas can food very rarely. Also, it's overwise about poverty: poor people grow their own veggies and can it. Because fresh veggies are expensive in winter. Small town people of Russia are obsessed with their kitchen gardens and "realness" of their food for an unknown reason. That's why they are sure that everyone in Russian has a summer house, tend a kitchen garden, grow their own food, can all the food and eat only made from scratch meals. Nope. We do not.

      My daughter spent 8 years in Russia and still hasn’t learned Russian grammar and how to speak properly. She speaks well but with a strong American accent and uses English words in her sentences, mixes two languages. The Russian kids were very cruel to her in school because of her language barrier and her super friendly personality. They found it weird. One Armenian kid threw stones at her when he found out she was an American. They fought a lot: a 10 year old boy with a 7 year old girl!!!! I told her to fight back, but we got tired of all this, we had to pack and leave. We are in Los Angeles now and she is a straight A student here. The only good part she remembers about Russia is food. She hated schools, kids, grumpy old people on streets and buses. She doesn’t want to go back. Bad memories.

Now is a different time, but having a huge supply of food at home in different shapes and ways of storage really saves lives. Still not only in Russia, but also in other states with a hard and long winter, this is how they preserve and protect food. It's a great way to be self-sufficient and enjoy summer food until the next farming season. ... So, if you are in Russia, the words "winter is coming!"you don't really have to worry.

    Kissel is a Russian smoothie that is centuries old.
    As a flavor base, local berries are used - cranberries, cherries, currants, etc. and fruits - apples, pears, etc. That is, what grows in Russia. But you can make kissel from the exotic.
    American smoothies are thickened with either a banana or oatmeal - Russian jelly is thickened with starch (potato or corn). In both cases, thickening occurs with starch, but bananas do not grow in Russia.
    Because of the thickener, the American smoothie is opaque. Russian kissel is always transparent (but colored because of the berries).
    A smoothie requires a chopping mechanism (mixer, blender) - Russian kissel is made without sophisticated equipment, just a saucepan and a stove (fire).
    It's hot in America, so smoothies are made cold. It is cold in Russia, so kissel is usually served hot or warm (it is not so tasty cold).
    By changing the amount of starch, Russian kissel can be very liquid or thicker. This allows you to use it both for drinking and as a gravy for pancakes, cheesecakes or other dishes.
    The calorie content of kissel is from 75 to 350 kilocalories per 100 gr. It has an enveloping effect, protecting the mucous membrane of the digestive organs, it is included in the menu for people with problems of the gastrointestinal tract.
    Like smoothies, the liquid base can be either water or milk.
    It should be noted that oats and banana can cause unpleasant toilet consequences. Starch does not cause such effects.

    Hey Tom! Great video, thanks! Just a correction regarding ГОСТ/GOST - it's referring to state standard, not necessarily a quality. Soviets had a separate sign for goods named "Знак качества/Quality Mark": pentagon with a star inside. It's widely used by marketers even now addressing those who misses USSR :)

      , причём часто производители идут на уловку и ставят на банку тушенки знак "гост". Покупатель автоматически предполагает, что тушенка приготовлена в соответствии с гостом, а в действительности этот гост относится не к содержимому, а к банке, то есть банка произведена в соответствии с гостом

      The problem is that there is basically only one brand of kefir in USA and many Americans still don’t know or use it. Yogurt is much more common and popular. Also, literally only one brand of farmers cheese ( I think it’s called friendship). Very small package yet expensive. Cottage cheese isn’t the same as farmers.

    7:15 Russia has a law prohibiting the drinking of alcoholic beverages in public places, in other words, on the street. And people often want to drink alcohol, for example in the park or by the water. You can hide a bottle of beer in a paper bag or something else so that the police do not fine you. Therefore, some manufacturers produce bottles of beer already in a paper bag, as an advantage. Usually such a small paper bag is difficult to find and is sold in stores very rarely.

    • @user-ho9bs2gp2e
      @user-ho9bs2gp2e Před rokem +2

      In Russia, the paper on a bottle of beer plays more of a brand role, with our police you will not be able to enter into a legal controversy "do they have the right to detain you if you drink alcohol in paper." If you argue, you will be detained harshly, you will spend half a day in the police station, harshly, and you will receive a fine. I think it's right. But, anyway, it happens that people drink in public places at their own risk.

      My experience (2014-2020) was if you weren't drinking a big bottle and didn't act like a pizdets, nobody cared. The worst that ever happened to me was the police saw me drinking vodka in public and asked nicely for some. We talked for a few minute and passed the bottle around, before they returned it to me empty, explaining it makes them sad to see young men drinking on the street when there are nice drinks like kvas, tarhun, kompot, and mors. I told him that was a good idea, to which the sergeant of those police said it was more than just a good idea, it was the law. I was very embarassed and of course said prosti menya ya ne budut povtorit. This was 2015 in Moscow.

      Самое смешное, что многие из этих продуктов (в том числе тушёнка) продаются в любом американском супермаркете. Просто он либо не может провести аналогию из-за того, что они по-другому называются или упакованы, либо просто не обращал там на них внимания. Тушёнка это абсолютно то же самое, что в США называется corned beef. У них ещё есть roast beef в консервных банках, это мясо более крупными кусками. Яблочное пюре в США продаётся в каждом магазине и очень популярно, называется apple sauce. Просто упаковано в маленькие пластиковые индивидуальные стаканчики, а не в большую стеклянную банку. И это вовсе не относится к baby food в Америке. Кефир тоже продаётся в каждом американском супермаркете и так и называется Kefir. Даже если он его не покупает, как можно этого не видеть, если он в США в магазины ходит?

    We have two main standards for products: one is called ГОСТ - государственный стандарт (state standard) and ТУ - технические условия (specifications) with the latter having a reputation being easier to comply with, so ГОСТ (pronounced like host but with g instead of h) has a bit better reputation since the standard itself and the abbreviature come from soviet times beloved by many people idk why.
