Engagement Rings

[Jason-Sasha 1]

Cool!

Although, if she needs to get that ring off while in Russia, there's probably a whole lot of Mayo that would be readily available.

Hahaha! Yes indeed! As you know they eat that stuff on everything. In fact the buckets they buy it in (yes, I said buckets, because that's what they are ) are so bigyou need a hatchback automobile just to get it home! My soon to be brother-in-law got me hooked on a dollop of mayo in my soup. Actually not bad. And let's not get started on ketchup. Lord, how they drink that stuff down!!! Anyway, sorry to be so off topic here. Back to rings, everyone.

I with you on the mayonnaise, 100%, but catsup is less of thing, it seems, in my fiancée's parts. I didn't see catsup in many grocery carts or cafés. They seem to only slather it on at the local McDonald's.

That is one fine ring you got Sasha!

We even had pizza with mayonnaise baked in. It wasn't as horrible as it sounds, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat it again.

Yeah, it is quite a ring! A fine one indeed. But I'm sorry if I sounded as though I was bragging. I didn't mean to. Though I am pretty proud of it. And sooo happy that Sasha loves it so much. She won't take it off her finger. Or can't...don't really know!! Hahaha. Man, they've got ketchup in dozens of styles and flavors on the shelves in the stores. Perhaps you didnt recognize it because the bottles are quite different looking that ours. They have about as many varieties as we have for barbeque sauces. I absolutely love Шашлык (shashlyk) and it used to horrify me when they would smear it all over those luscious pieces marinated pork chunks. I will use flavored ketchup occasionally on it just for something a little different. But generally I dont use it on anything. I've seen Russians dip their pizza in ketchup, but never seen it with mayo. In fact Russian pizza just makes me cringe. Its not pizza at all. I'd rather frozen pork in flavorless gelatin. Yuk!! That's really the only Russian food I dont like. Well, that and some variations of Salo....or however its spelled in English. Nothing like slabs of cold pig fat with the skin and hair still in tact....mmmmm yummy. Took me a while to get used to orange caviar. Growing up, my father and I actually bought that stuff at bait shops before fishing for rainbow trout. In Ct that's the only place you can find the stuff. Bait shops. Tricky getting them little bastards on the hooks.

Damn, what have we done to the ring thread?! #######. Sorry.

Pizza with mayo is awesome! Of course, I'm a pizza lover in genearl so my oppinion may be somewhat biased. Some really good pizza is with mashed potatoes baked between two layers of crust, topped with mayo and cheese, veggies, shrimp, calamari and of all things, corn. It's available from Domino's.... in Korea.

We went to the Pizza Hut in Moscow. It was very upscale, I was a bit surprised. I guess when you pay $60 for pizza, breadsticks, salads and a few beers, you better be in an upscale place.

Russians were ahead of their time in the ketchup department. I was making "mexican ketchup" for a long time by adding Tobasco to my ketchup. When I went to Moscow, it was one of the 57 varieties already being sold.

I didn't think you were bragging! Just proud for Sasha. Nothing wrong with that.

I did understand about the catsup. I just didn't consider the other varieties as true catsup! As someone that likes mayonnaise, a lot, I'm always happy with it's presence in everything. I'm thinking some on pizza could be very tasty.

In Kazan', they have two pizzerias that serve American style. It still is not right but far closer and better than the Russian style that tastes like flavoured cardboard.

No worries Jeff. I knew you personally didnt think I was bragging. It just occurred to me that other readers might see it that way. Yes, I dont mind mayo. but I'm not a fan of the ketchup. Mayo must be even more popular in Korea. Because most of the mayo I've seen in Russia comes in large buckets with Korean writing all over them. I tried Russian pizza once and it was just like you say. Cardboard. And they even put pickles on the thing. Somewhere Italians were crying as I ate it.

Now that's ironic because when I was in Korea I couldn't find mayo in anything larger than a big squeeze bottle. My Russian roommate and all her friends used to have me buy bigger jars of it from the base because we couldn't buy it in the local shops. Then again, we didn't go to the big supermarkets, only to the local neighborhood markets. I used to buy a $#!tload of sour cream too!

But Koreans, being just like Americans, will produce and market anything, even if they really don't like it that much as long as someone will buy it.

True! (about the marketing) Hahaha. I'm a big sour cream fan myself. Love it on all sorts of things. I use so much of it that it makes my steaming bowls of chili cold in seconds.

Now that our engagement ring thread has morphed into food... Isn't it interesting that with all that mayonnaise, sour cream, plain old pig fat, so forth, and so on that our ladies consume, they still have some of the best forms on the planet?

It's because they walk *everywhere.* On top of that, mine actually works out at a gym and takes salsa dancing lessons. I'm pretty sure her legs could break me in half if she really wanted to. I'm...I'm actually a little scared of her...

Just wait five or ten years, especially since these women are moving to America....

[Kazan' Tiger 1]

Everyone says this, I'm not too worried. My Alla is not interested in McDonalds. She is a sporty girl and will continue to eat real food and exercise. I'm more worried for her teenage daughter that will! She already outweighs my fiancée because she has half the activity level and prefers the junk food.

[Kazan' Tiger 1]

Exactly! We just need to follow suit here.

My little 44 kg fiancée can break me in half with her competitive figure skater / dancer / trainer legs!
