Celebrate Russian Independence Day on August 24 with Russian Cuisine
Here at Dishfolio, we think that there's no better way to celebrate a Russian holiday than with some traditional Russian cuisine. Russia is such a large, diverse country that it doesn't have one national dish, but many of its dishes are hundreds of years old. Shchi, or cabbage soup, has been eaten there for over 1,000 years!
Today, people all over the world enjoy Russian cuisine without even knowing it. For example, in America, Russian pancakes called Blini were popularized by Jewish immigrants in the 19th and 20th centuries, and are now eaten in large quantities throughout the country.
Did you know that Russia's oldest alcoholic drink, a honey-based beverage called Medovukha, has been made and consumed throughout Russia since pagan times? If you'd like to enjoy some traditional Russian food or drink at home, look online for some quick and easy dinner ideas.
