  Russian cuisine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Russian cuisine derives its rich and varied character from the vast and multicultural expanse of Russia.
Many of the foods that are considered in the West to be traditionally Russian actually come from the Franco-Russian cuisine of the 18th and 19th centuries and include such widespread dishes as Veal Orloff, Beef Stroganoff, and Sharlotka (Charlotte Russe).
The name of the soup comes from the Russian word botva, which means "leafy tops of root vegetables," and the ingredients keep in line with the name: leafy tops of young beet, beetroots, oxalate sorrel, green onions, dill, cucumbers, and two types of kvass, then some mustard, lemon juice, and horseradish as spices.
