I think, that 'traditional' food is "schi" (cabbage soup), Ukrainian "borsch" (beet soup), "kasha" (boiled grains, for exemple, buckwheat and others), boiled turnip (btw, I've never tried it), pancakes (with filling), bread, honey (including fermented honey and water), "kvass" (fermented bread and water).
Russia is the multinational country, so the food is very diverse. Includes pasta. But pasta with stewed meat is popular, but not historically traditional food.
I meant that how much of the food is something that was around 100 years ago? Like in Italy they eat almost exactly the same as 100 years ago, while in Finland bolognese, lasagne, baguette, croissants, olive oil, french fries, risotto and others are regular food, and local variants could be called 'Finnish'. In haute cuisine the dominant school is French.
Yes, russian cuisine is very diverse, and in big cities there are probably much Azeri, Armenian and other cuisine.
But do Russians eat hamburgers? And do they still drink kvass?

Didn't you fix "katlet" already? That's your Russian version of hamburger - right there))
And why would they stop drinking kvass?
It's all natural, it's healthy, and it beats any Pepsi-coka-cola as far as taste goes any day.
So yeah - bochka kvass, as the popular tune goes)))

I was feeling lazy. Have to postpone it to tomorrow. What should you eat on the side? Boiled potatoes?

I think that 100 years ago the Russians ate approximately the same. Earlier, people were preserved by pickling or salting. Now canning technology creating expanded opportunities. The main worlds fast-food restaurants are represented in Russia. I like hamburgers. Kvass is popular in Russia so far. Some people continue to do it yourself, but most people are ready to buy a bottle in groсery store. Also okroshka (vegetable salad filled kvass) is very popular in the summer months.

Question Maxim - do you like the hamburgers ( where do you buy them?) or котлеты more?
( I don't eat either of them, so I'm asking out of curiosity...)
Always happy to enjoy good-looking food. Kotlety are a redundancy here as we have meatballs. IDK, maybe I should learn more about Russia, I know almost nothing about it.

Got it! Should I fry them in the same butter as the kotlety or change it?
