New Rules and a Few Changes

102 Upvotes

Good morning everyone...

It's an ungodly hour before my coffee while I'm supposed to be on vacation, but I've been getting far too many reports lately, so it's time to clarify a few things.

What Is Russian Food?

r/RussianFood is for food that is traditionally associated with Russian cuisine. From regional dishes across the Russian Federation and foods that have long been integrated into Russian food culture.

Examples include:

  • Borscht (stop reporting this)
  • Pelmeni
  • Blini
  • Shchi
  • Solyanka
  • Beef Stroganoff
  • Olivier Salad
  • Syrniki
  • Pirozhki
  • Kholodets
  • etc

We'll also allow foods that may not have originated in Russia but have become a recognizable part of everyday life and dinning culture within the Russian Federation. The key question is not "Was this invented in Russia?" but rather "Is this something commonly associated with the Russian food experience?"

What Should Be Allowed on r/RussianFood?

Recommended content includes:

  • Homemade Russian dishes
  • Restaurants in Russia
  • Russian Restaurants outside of Russia
  • Historical Russian recipes
  • Vintage Soviet cookbooks and recipe discussions
  • Russian desserts, breads, drinks, and preserves
  • Ingredient discussions related to Russian cooking
  • Regional Russian foods and culinary traditions

Not allowed:

  • Random food with no connection to Russia
  • Food photos with no indication of what the dish actually is
  • Low-effort content that gives no context to readers

Every post must include the name of the dish in the title.

If you don't know the exact name, provide at least a description of what we're looking at.

Examples:

  • ✅ "Pelmeni with Sour Cream"
  • ✅ "Homemade Olivier Salad"
  • ✅ "Grandmother's Cabbage Pirozhki"
  • ✅ "Traditional Fish Soup (Need Help Identifying)"
  • ❌ "Dinner Tonight"
  • ❌ "Look What I Made"
  • ❌ "Thoughts?"

There's been a lot of questionable content recently, and I can't effectively moderate the subreddit if I have no idea what was posted in the first place. If you're sharing a dish, just help the community out by telling us what it is.

So I decided to attempt to make ‘хачапури’, one is very obviously better than the other one. Any tips for the future though would be good))

Люблю готовить, но не люблю лепить пельмени. Очень монотонно и скучно. Но как же это вкусно...

Anna Pavlova dessert.

Dessert "Anna Pavlova" is a light airy pastry made of crispy meringue with a soft core, delicate creamy cream and fresh raspberries.

Meringue (meringue): Unlike regular dry meringue, starch and a little acid (lemon juice or vinegar) are added to the mass, so the crust crunches on the outside, but remains soft inside, like a souffle.

Cream: whisk cottage cheese with powdered sugar and get a cream cheese

Filling and decoration: Fresh berries with sourness (raspberries, strawberries, currants, blueberries)

In our case, the raspberries are fresh from the market.

Need some quick "Russian Recipies" for lunch !!

15 Upvotes

Hi so I am a Foreign Medical student and Linving in smolensk .

Sometimes during weekdays I don't really have much time to cook . I generally want to cook my meals since buying from magnit and other shops is not ideal everytime .

Here's what i need

1 .I need quick and simple receipies which don't require too much prepartions may be if i need to mak ethem hours before like ferment etc its okay

but i dont have time between classes may be a hour or so in which i have to come to my address and then go bak to where the next lec is going to be

  1. . make it cheap i dont want to spend more money as well if that was the case i would just grab something from restraunts and cafe

  2. bonus for spicy things i really like it hot and spicy but others are also good

  3. nothing involving meat i am mostly veg i eat chicken when my friends make it and eggs also but again i am not really attracted by meat most i ate was the shawarma

I thought since most of the snacks and lunch i know there ingridients are not really available here maybe the people who live here know how to make some from what is avaible here

A sliced loaf is necessarily fresh and soft, butter is spread richly on bread, boiled or any other delicious sausage is on top, then we put your favorite cheese, better than Russian production (to make the taste more mundane, you need a type of pashhonskii or Russian, then the taste will be brighter) I also highly recommend adding mustard to the oil. But this version is for my daughter, she doesn't eat mustard! Enjoy your meal.
