4. onions and

One of them says that it became a hit in Russia, where it came to symbolize national unity:
🐟 Herring was a favourite food of the working poor,
🍆 the beets added a streak of revolutionary red,
🥔 and the potatoes represented farmers.

When two generations meet...

• Компот (компоты)(masc.noun)
  [kam-pot (kam-po-ty)]
  Stewed fruit, fruit compote

Also:
• Компотик (компотики) (diminutive)
  [kam-po-tik (kam-pi-ti-ki)]

🔻In Russia kompot or compot is a non-alcoholic beverage cooked from boiled fruits (typically fresh or dried).

🔻Even before the 18th century, a drink made from fruits and berries was known in Rus', which was called vzvar or uzvar. Vzvar was a festive dish served on Christmas Eve. It was cooked from dried fruits: pears, apples, prunes, plums, raisins.

🔻'Взвар' (vzvar) or 'узвар' (uzvar), came from a Slavic root word meaning 'to boil'.

🔻Компот comes from French compote, which is served as a dessert.

​​🔵Admit it, when you hear "Варенье из сосновых шишек" (pine cone jam), you probably imagine a bleak picture of Russia's crumbling economy with its people resorting to foraging for pine cones for sustenance.

🔵You've already heard of "кротовуха" (a strong alcohol infusion made with mole) and "медвежжуха" (a modern take on "медовуха" - an ancient, low-alcohol beverage). And somewhere in the back of your mind, there's also a vague notion of 'Суп с котом' (а cat soup). Now, pine cone jam!

🔵For those of you planning a trip or even a move to Russia, it might be time to reconsider.

🔵Just kidding! Come on over! Tasting this unusual jam is not a mandatory requirement for getting a tourist visa or a residence permit. Unless, of course, you want to try this delightful treat yourself!

🔵So, this jam made from young (green) pine cones is not only incredibly sweet with a refined smoky aroma and flavour (I can say that as someone who has eaten more than one jar of this jam!), but it's also packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

🔵If you don't have a set of "spare jaws" for chewing hard things, don't worry - the pine cones in the jam are actually soft and easily break apart with a fork.

🔵The only downside to this jam, from my humble perspective, is its overly sweet taste. But with ice cream or pancakes, it's absolutely delicious!

🔵I've seen this jam sold in foreign online stores (like RussianfoodUSA or Amazon). Don't miss out on the chance to get to know Russian cuisine better and embrace the Russian spirit!

[a-la-dush-ki]
from
• Оладьи (plural)
[a-la-d'yi]
Pancakes

🔻Оладушки are fluffy, thick pancakes that are often referred to as "Russian fritters." They are typically made with a yeast dough, similar to American pancakes, and often include ingredients like milk, eggs, flour, and sugar. Оладушки are usually served with sour cream, jam, or honey.

🔻Note the difference:
• Блины
[bli-ny]
(Russian) blinis

🔻Блины are thin, crepe-like pancakes made from a buckwheat or wheat flour batter. Блины can be savory or sweet and are often rolled, filled, or topped with a variety of ingredients like smoked salmon, caviar, sour cream.

😋The key difference? Оладушки are thicker and fluffier, while блины are thinner and more delicate.
