National Cuisine

Why living off the land can be a bit of an acquired taste
In 1615, Dutch envoy Anthonis Goeteeris, on finding himself in Moscow, wrote: “The Russians have a very strange cuisine.” Although Russian food is generally thought to be monotonous, it is actually rich in original recipes.
