Back in the Soviet period, the Russian deep-fried potatoes were considered to be a peasant dish. As an example, plain pan-fried potatoes were traditional lunch and dinner for the USSR students. Although, people who could afford meat (or the lucky ones who could find it in the soviet shops), used to add it to the dish to make it more substantial.

Despite the fact, that most of the Russians don’t appreciate this meal associating it with the poverty, for the foreigners it will taste delightful. Juicy potatoes, sautéed aromatic vegetables and mushrooms together are the perfect match. But, never prepare it with the mushrooms sold in the British supermarkets (they taste like slugs, probably that’s why a big number of the Englishmen can’t stand mushrooms!). The selected mushrooms should be collected from the Eastern Europeans forests.

“According to the Russian classical diet, you should be eating only once a day. But from morning till night!” – Mikhail Zadornov (famous Russian comedian)

Russian traditional food is very rich and nourishing. I’m likely to say that this cuisine is meant to be for the real men. But unfortunately, it can become dangerous for some women, precisely for the body shape.

Don’t hesitate to try Russian food – it’s heathy, extremely tasty but also very high-calorie. Wish everyone bon appetite and effective training session for the future, because it has another striking feature –  Russian food becomes your weakness within the first glance!
