When it comes to some of the most common dishes or delicacies, for some reason it is believed that Russian cuisine took them then one, then another country. Let’s see if this is so on really?
In the proposed documentary about “Secrets of Russian cuisine” this myth is easily debunked. It turns out that both Ukrainian borsch and Mongolian dumplings, and even Italian pasta were known on Russia is still in ancient times. As for the XIX century, then about the kitchen there are so many written Russian restaurants of that time (take at least the works of Vladimir Gilyarovsky), which is simply you marvel at the abundance of dishes that were offered in these eateries.
By the way, taverns in Russia have always been considered the second home, here you could have a hearty meal at any time of the day (naturally, and to drink), and not only wealthy merchants, but also commoners and even a simple working people. And the peasants, getting into the city, the first thing was not to go somewhere, but to the tavern, which was not only an excellent dining room, but also a hotel.
The proposed film talks about a real abundance of dishes, which Russian cuisine has always boasted of, besides explanations of where the Ukrainian borsch actually came from, and can Western Europe claim its superiority in those or other delicacies.
