I was even in the army so I can eat almost anything. should I make an emergency trip to a Russian restaurant or just punt! If the restaurant option, what should I try? weirdchris Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 7/10/2005 8:44:30 PM   Hey there sailor, Just Punt. Russian food is very good. I don't know where you are staying. But if you are staying at the hotel Eridan, they have a great restaurant there. Or down the road about 1/4 mile there is a place across from the bell tower that also has great food. It's next to the photo shop and is down a set of stairs. Like an old dungeon if my memory serves me well. If all else fails ask Alex, the man is a wealth of knowledge. If you need to use the $$ exchange try the Hotel Vitebsk exchange, I always found a better rate there than anywhere else. castawaysailor Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 7/10/2005 9:40:29 PM   Hi chris, sounds like you have "been their, done that", actually I need to try something now to see if I like russian food, any suggestions weirdchris Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 7/10/2005 10:45:51 PM   All the food I ate was exceptional. I actually like the solanka and you have to try draniki. (Potato pancakes with a meat in it), but very good. The borchst (Beet soup) takes a little getting used to. I actually still make alot of the food I ate there, it was that good. They took the link off the web that had alot of recipes. If I find it I will e-mail the file to you. jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 7/11/2005 7:12:57 AM   THANK YOU WEIRDCHRIS!!! As far as I know YOU and I are the ONLY people who have ever HEARD of SOLANKA outside Moldova. I have tried in vain to find a recipe for it ANYWHERE or even get anyone else to tell me that they have heard of it. (I even brought it up in this forum once before and was told by one of our female contributors that SHE had never heard of it and that I must be talking about a SPICE.) In general though the food over there is absolutely great - it helps not to know just how much fat, grease and tallow is in the stuff - as they say (hopefully) what you don't know wont hurt you. I am NEARLY as exited about havoing a beautiful 25 year old Russian woman come and cook for (with?) me as I am having her for other reasons. Only 35 hours to go. jetmba. Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 7/11/2005 7:21:07 AM   Okay - with the spelling that Chris provided I googled. Found some recipes but also found an alternative spelling of it "solyanks". Russian food is great - but be prepared to buy five types of meat if you try to follow a traditional recipe. Example - the recipe I found for this stuff includes the following: 5 tbsp. veal 5 tbsp beef 5 tbsp. ham 3 tbsp. sausages 6-7 tbsp. beef kidneys (I dare to assume that you can easy do without them) I copied and pasted. I NEED tablespoons of beef???? And I need kidneys????? Myabe I will aloow my fiance to fudge the recipes just a little. Worldtraveller Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 7/11/2005 11:25:27 AM   again it seems that i have a complete different opinion: i have experience with russian food since 13 years. all in all russian food is one of the most boring food worldwide. plus, there is only very few REAL russian food; many dishes have tatarian or caucasian origin. a buddy of me, who also often travels to moldova, is a professional cook. for us both one of the most negative aspects of moldova is the quality of food and dishes. just to prepare a good salad seems to be too much for local restaurants. due to the soviet times, people have lost any skills in spices and so on. go on a bazar or supermarket in chisinau and you will recognize, that there are maximum 3 different fresh spices available. but o.k. any soljanka can be better than the usually frozen walmart junk food. wt Thunderdome Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 7/11/2005 2:43:26 PM   Jet, I just take it you're no fan of kidneys. Hey, don't like is don't like, but the taste is a special one, and IN a recipe like the above it no doubt has a dominant effect on the flavour hence taste (no, not due to the relevant quantity). Also,there's a lot of fat in kidneys, and this you quite likely need to 'make' the dish (which I dunno). Hey, just wait a few hours and she'll tell you? So long Jet :) jetmba.

And I hhave ony 27 hours now. Ptichka Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 7/11/2005 4:09:58 PM   Solanka is nothing really special to cook...there are special sets (if I can call them like that:) of meat for solanka sold in supermarket. Using these sets it takes about 15 minutes to cook this tasty dish:) Such sets usually contain: different kind of sausages and different kinds of boiled meat, already cut into needed pieces:) I cook it this way: approximately 3 litres of water, several pickled cucumbers, tomato paste, onion, and butter, and about 0,5 kilo of meat. First of course it is a need to boil the water and put some butter into it (I don't like broths), then put peeled pickled cucumbers cut into small piece and let them boil for 5 minutes. Fry onion, cut into small pieces, with butter, and add tomato paste. Then add onions with tomato paste to the boiling water (the cucumbers should be boiling for 5 minutes already) and let all this boil for another 5 minutes, then add the meat and let it boil for 5 minutes more. And solanka is ready:)) It is better to serve it with fresh lemon, sour cream and parsley.

The food I ate was great. Okay Borchst for breakfast took a little getting used to. But I ate pretty much what was in front of me. All I did was tell my lady I hate seafood and was lactrose intolerant (I took some lactose pills with me) and did not worry about it. I ate some great salads, kababs, meats. She cooked for me and since we did a lot of siteseeing we ate out a lot. She also asked the waiter if they had a menu in English. Some did some did not. If they did not I put my trust in her hands and was not disapointed. I also took some Imodium with me but only used it the first day. I bought bottled water and drank sodas and beer with no problem. muscovites Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 1/19/2016 8:15:09 AM   Russian food is always awesome. Its tastes amazing.
