Hi, as i said before in Belgian cuisine that i want to tell you about Russian cuisine. Now i'm back and i will tell you about the unique cuisine in Russia that is Okroshka. Okroshka is a cold soup of Russian origin. The name probably originates from "kroshit'" (крошить), which means to crumble into small pieces. Okroshka made with kefir. The classic soup is a mix of mostly raw vegetables (like cucumbers, radishes and spring onions), boiled potatoes, eggs, and a cooked meat such as beef, veal, sausages, or ham with kvass, which is a mildly alcoholic beverage made from fermented black or rye bread. Okroshka is usually garnished with sour cream (smetana). Later versions that appeared in Soviet times use light or diluted kefir, vinegar, mineral water, or even beer instead of kvass.

After the unique soup from Russian now, we move to the famous beverages from Russia, Vodka. Vodka is a distilled beverage composed primarily of water and ethanol, sometimes with traces of impurities and flavorings. Traditionally, vodka is made by the distillation of fermented grains or potatoes, though some modern brands use other substances, such as fruits or sugar.
Vodka is traditionally drunk neat (not mixed with any water, ice, or other mixer), though it is often served chilled in the vodka belt countries of Eastern Europe and around the Baltic Sea. It is also commonly used in cocktails and mixed drinks, such as the vodka martini, vodka tonic, screwdriver, greyhound, Black or White Russian, and Bloody Mary.
That's it! That is what i found for Russian cuisine and beverages. Good bye!
