hello there, i was meaning to ask questions 4) and 11) from the "i'm not from the US ask set"

4 favourite dish specific for your country? Still dressed herring! Wrote about it here (X) Incidentally, tis the season — looook at my beauty! 

Also, okroshka for the summer. Okroshka is a salad (or rather cold soup) made of meat, cucumbers, greens (dill-scallion-parsley), boiled potatoes, boiled carrot, eggs, and radish. It’s mixed with kvass (very specific low-alcoholic carbonated beverage made from fermented bread and malt. Tastes and looks like something in between Coke and beer, but ten times better) and smetana (extremely fat sour-cream). Sounds horrendous, like dressed herring, but is heavenly and great for the heat.

11 favourite native writer/poet? I once wrote about Strugatskys, Lukyanenko, Bulgakov (X) and Gorky’s poetic masterpieces (X) but would also add Gogol's “Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka” stories collection — mystical, fun, with unique language and always bringing comfort to me.

Okroshka -  is a cold Russian soup originated at the Volga region. Okroshka recipes appeared at the dawn of Russian culinary literature, at the end of the XVIII century.

The classic soup is a mix of mostly raw vegetables (like cucumbers, radishes and spring onions), boiled potatoes, eggs, and a cooked meat such as beef, veal, sausages, or ham with kvass or kefir.

Окрошка -холодный русский суп из поволжья. Рецепты окрошки появились ещё на заре русской кулинарной литературы, в конце XVIII века.

Классический рецепт содержит нарезанные овощи, вареный картофель, яйца, приготовленное мясо или колбасу. Подается с квасом или кефиром.
