Diet
The Russian diet is proportionally higher is complex carbohydrates and conversely lower in proteins than other diets of their close European neighbors. Despite their enthusiasm for the consumption of alcohol, Russians have tremendous longevity as their are more centenarians found there than anywhere else in the world. The healthiness of their diet is dominated by dark breads, buckwheat, goat’s milk and yogurt, potatoes, other root vegetables, cabbage or beet borscht (soup), and some meats.
Some of the Russia’s finer foods include blintzes (stuffed pancakes), zrazy (stuffed fried fish or seafood), stroganoff, beef cooked with onions in sour cream, or rakov, a seafood pie. Other culinary specialties include zakusky (hors d’vores), Potage Bagration (cream of veal with asparagus tips), botvinya (green vegetable soup with a fish base), solyanka (cucumber soup), pelemeni (Siberian meat dumplings, boiled, fried, and served with sour cream), kasha (buckwheat porridge), holubtsi (Ukrainian stuffed cabbage), bitki (meatballs or fish balls with strong spices), paskha (cottage-cream cheesecake with candied fruits made in a pyramid shape for Easter), and babka (a round coffee cake).
