We have to make a special trip every couple of weeks to go buy smoked fish, herrings, etc.

West Holiwood has lots of Russian delis and grocery stores but I make most of my own meals from scratch. Blini, salt pickles, plovf, and homemade bread too.

I think this food is sooooo Russian tradition and most of the Russians/Ukrainian love it....except i'm not crazy about it.

It's called "Taran'ka" not all of them are good, but some are very especially if it has caviar inside

Spending so long in Asia, we have dried squid too. We dip it in hot pepper paste. I still prefer the Russian beer, but gotta go with Asian dried salty sea stuff.

There's also that stuff called sallo...... ever heard of that? That's a pretty "Russian" thing to eat. "Hey, anybody want a piece of raw pork fat to go with their bitter beer?" (It is actually pretty good... especially with a clove of garlic, an onion and a tomato.)

salo i sjust pork fat.....pure fat, not like bacon cause bacon has a bit of meat on it.

take rye bread, take garlic and crush it against the edge of the bread and put some salt and it's so damn good and have it with borsch

I love сало! The best сало is from Ukraine. I freeze it then slice it paper thin. Put it on a peice of real black bread topped with хрен, heaven! Unfortunately it is illegal in the US and trying to sneak it through customs results in a pack of airport dogs attacking the suitcase.
