| | Russian Cuisine |
 | | To many, Russian food conjures up images of cabbage, beetroot (beets), fl bread, and empty supermarket shelves, but those who have actually visited a home in Russia will tell stories of great feasts placed before them. |
 | | Previously, dinner was served with all the dishes on the table at once, which although attractive meant that the food was often cold or spoilt before it was eaten. |
 | | Due to the vast nature of the Soviet Union, Russian cuisine calls upon the bounty of fish available in its lakes, rivers and seas, which can be either salted, marinated or smoked. |
