What do Russians eat for three meals a day? What are the table manners?

What do Russians eat for three meals a day? It is not as colorful as what is circulated on the Internet. Those foods only exist in very wealthy families, so here we mainly talk about the more common and traditional foods in ordinary families.

Russian eating habits are influenced by Middle East Asia and Northern Europe, and the cuisine is very diverse. Therefore, they also have dumplings there, but the shape is different and the fillings are more local. Among them, mashed potato fillings, cherry fillings and cheese fillings are the most popular. The regular fillings are similar to Chinese dumplings, made of a mixture of vegetables and meat. However, dumplings are not the main meal. They are eaten once in a while by people in southern my country.

Okay, back to the topic, let’s formally introduce what are the real three meals a day? Russian food style

1. Breakfast:

American-style breakfast is available in good families, but it is not common in ordinary families. It is expensive and troublesome to prepare. Therefore, breakfast is mainly based on "rye bread", with scrambled eggs, sausages, etc., and a cup of black tea or coffee.

2. Lunch consists of three staple foods: ①Salad. ② Soup. ③Barbecued meat, a typical lunch.

Salad does not refer to fruit. There are many types of salads in Russia. It is mainly made of mayonnaise and salad dressing as ingredients, mixed with potatoes, bacon, ham, chicken, beef, pickles, vegetables, etc., and is freely combined. It can also be divided into cold salad and hot salad (the ingredients are cooked or stir-fried first).

“Soup” is the most important thing. It is available for almost lunch and dinner. There are also “cold soup” and “hot soup”. Domestic borscht comes from Russia, but it has been modified. Their soup is mainly sour, salty and sweet, and is relatively thick and flavourful.

3. Dinner: Add some meat to lunch, such as tomato sauce stew, chicken stew, etc. Or beef strips, pasta, mashed potatoes and rice, etc. In short, they remain the same. Russian table manners

It belongs to the European style and is similar in etiquette. Also hold the fork in your left hand and the knife and fork in your right hand when eating. However, when you go to dinner as a guest, Russians are very welcoming and always ask you to eat more. So when you're full, leave a little food at the bottom of the plate as a courtesy to let them know you're satisfied.
