At noon, Su Xiaoyu took everyone to a Russian restaurant to taste authentic Russian food. Russia is located in a high-latitude region, crops are not easy to mature, the terrain is rugged, not suitable for growing crops, so the food structure is mostly meat-based, vegetables, rice, wheat, etc. rely on imports. Russia has a cold climate, and the food is mainly high in protein and calories. At the same time, get used to drinking alcohol to keep warm.

Russians love sour, sweet, spicy and salty dishes. Therefore, sour cream, cottage cheese, lemon, chili, pickled cucumber, onion, white tower oil, cumin, bay leaf are used as seasonings in cooking.

When it came to the meal, it was the time when there were the most tourists, and the restaurant was full of guests, so Su Xiaoyu finally booked a seat for everyone.

"What do you want to eat?"

Xia Yuxiang said: "When it comes to Russian cuisine, people naturally think of the prestigious caviar, Xiao Su, you can tell us about caviar. ”

Su Xiaoyu said: "Okay, caviar is made from fish roe as the name suggests, in fact, strictly speaking, only sauce made from sturgeon roe can be called caviar." Caviar is one of the top Russian cuisines, even more so than abalone in Chinese cuisine. However, sturgeon is more expensive, and the cheaper alternatives are salmon, rainbow trout, trout, vermieel and whitefish. ”

"There are two types of caviar, red caviar and black caviar, the black one is produced in sturgeon and the red one is produced in salmon. In Russia, caviar is usually served with crepes, chopped onions or pickles, quail eggs, and sour cream, which can reduce the concentration of salt to a certain extent. I'll first help you order a few dishes that are common on the Russian table, so that you can taste them, and we will talk while eating. ”

Su Xiaoyu beckoned, called the waiter, quickly ordered the dish, the waiter took the menu down, and after a while, a table was full.

"Wow, it looks really good, the color is so good!" Qu Lihua's eyes widened, and Meng Wenjie also stretched his neck.

Xia Yuxiang said: "This dish, I know, I have eaten this dish in Russia before, I will introduce it to you, this is Bollinger cake." Bollinger bread is a Russian pancake that can be eaten as a dessert, side dish or as a staple. Sweet Bollinger bread is made with apples or raisins mixed in the batter, and salty ones are mixed with mashed potatoes. ”

Qu Lihua put a slice in her mouth, it was very delicious, and raisins were added to it, which tasted a little sweet.

Su Xiaoyu said: "The following dish, everyone must be familiar with it, Russian big meat skewers." There are mainly three kinds of beef, pork and lamb skewers, I ordered some of the three meat skewers, everyone tasted them, such meat skewers are not new to Chinese, so meat skewers can be said to be more common in Xinjiang. ”

Qu Lihua picked up a string of beef skewers, put it in her mouth and bit it gently, and a fragrance of beef came to her face, fragrant and chewy.

"It's so delicious, I ate a bunch and want to have another bunch!"

"People like to eat, so they eat more, and I order a lot. ”

"There is also Russian-style smoked sausage, what is the difference between it and Chinese grilled sausage?"

Meng Wenjie picked up the bread and put the Russian-style smoked sausage that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, added the salad dressing, and gently took a bite, the aroma overflowed between the lips and teeth, and the melt-in-your-mouth salad dressing and meat aroma made people have an endless aftertaste.

"It's so delicious, Xiaoqu, you can taste it too!"

Qu Lihua also learned from Meng Wenjie to put Russian-style smoked sausages into bread, took a bite, and immediately praised: "It's really delicious, I think the taste of Russian smoked sausages is stronger." ”

Su Xiaoyu said: "A pure red sausage, you need to select the right ratio of fat and lean pork as raw materials, with starch, garlic and other ingredients, pickled and enema, the red sausage obtained is bright red, the taste is fat but not greasy, and rich in protein and nutrition, it is not easy, I also come to Russia and also like to eat smoked sausages, never get tired of eating, my wife has learned to pickle Russian style smoked sausages, she often brings them back to China to give to relatives and friends to eat during the Chinese New Year, very popular." ”

Xia Yuxiang said: "The next dish is Russian-style shredded beef tenderloin, which I have tasted, and it is a classic dish made of sliced beef, onions and mushrooms, seasoned with white wine and sour cream. There are many different ways to prepare this dish, and some people ask for tomato paste, mustard, or paprika to be paired according to their taste. ”

Qu Lihua took a chopstick and put it in her mouth, the shredded beef tenderloin is very tender, and the onion is also matched just right, with the taste of mustard, a little spicy, very delicious.

Meng Wenjie said: "This dish, I know, this is borscht, and there is borscht in China!"

Su Xiaoyu nodded, "Yes, borscht originated in Russia, it is a classic dish in Russia, borscht is red in color, so it is also called beetroot soup, the slightly spicy taste is matched with the authentic Russian beetroot in the soup, and the Russian-style beetroot soup is spicy and sour, sour than sweet." ”

Meng Wenjie said: "I have drunk borscht in Shanghai, and Shanghainese people are not accustomed to the taste of Russian borscht. ”

Su Xiaoyu said: "Yes, Russian borscht is more sour. ”

Xia Yuxiang said: "There is also salad, let's try Russian salad, Xiaoqu, you have to eat a little more, girls especially like to eat salad dressing." Russian salad dressing is not as greasy as mayonnaise, not as salty and sour as tartar sauce, and it tastes very good with vegetables or meat!"

Qu Lihua smiled, "Thank you for taking care of me, you can think of me when you have delicious food!"

"Haha!" Xia Yuxiang smiled, "I'm old, I can't eat more sweets, you young people can eat more, Xiao Su also ordered ice cream for everyone, and Russian ice cream is also very famous." ”

After eating, Su Xiaoyu took everyone to continue to visit the Gum Department Store, and in the evening, the night view of the Gum Department Store was really beautiful, the grand scale with the flashing lights, dizzying, and in the next few days, Su Xiaoyu took everyone to visit the Chum Department Store and the underground shopping mall of Nerima Square.
