YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® The Baltic Capitals & St. Petersburg 2022 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. Enhanced! The Baltic Capitals & St. Petersburg itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: What I love about the little town of Harmi, Estonia, is that it has a lot of heart. Its residents came together to save their local school, and now it’s a thriving hub for community events. Harmi is a new partner of our Grand Circle Foundation, and you’ll live a Day in the Life here, visiting the school and a family farm, and sharing a farm-to-table lunch with our hosts. I love the outdoors and I love art, so my walk in the woods with O.A.T. Trip Experience Leader Inese turned into something extraordinary when she led me along the path called the “Witches Hill” in Lithuania. It’s populated by 80 wooden sculptures of witches, faeries, and spirits that derive from old pagan beliefs. You’ll go there, too (and I bet you’ll be as surprised as I was to learn how prevalent those pagan practices still are.) I was also surprised—and saddened—to learn how terribly the Baltic people were persecuted during the Soviet era.

In many families, successor state to the former Union of Soviet culinary-religious traditions were not passed on Socialist Republics. Democratic elections were from one generation to the next, and many held, many restrictions on foreign travel and on personal recipes for dishes with religious religious institutions were lifted, and both a significance were lost when women of the older market economy and a free press began to generation passed away.2 In the 1990s, however, develop. A new class of relatively wealthy after seven decades of relative dormancy, interest business-people (legitimate and otherwise) soon in these holiday foods began to increase as more emerged, with plenty of Russian rubles (and and more Russians began returning to the foreign hard currency) to spend at home and religious practices of their ancestors--or, if they abroad.

Cookery is considered to be both an art and science. The art of cooking is ancient. The first cook was a primitive man, who had put a chunk of meat close to the fire, which he had lit to warm himself. He discovered that the meat heated in this way was not only tasty but it was also much easier to masticate. From this moment, in unrecorded past, cooking has evolved to reach the present level of sophistication. Humankind in the beginning ate to survive.

Mushrooms in the Russian Far East
A MEANS OF SURVIVAL, A MARKER OF FEASTS: MUSHROOMS IN THE RUSSIAN FAR EAST Sveta Yamin-Pasternak Johns Hopkins University While the price of wild mushrooms in North American restaurants and stores ranges from high to unaffordable for people with limited financial means, wild mushrooms for rural low-income households in places as diverse as Eastern Europe, parts of Africa, and the Russian Arctic are an important part of the diet, especially during food short- ages. In Chukotka, in the far northeast of the Russian Federation, wild mushrooms are a source of nourishment in everyday consumption, and were important for survival in times of food scarcity. Depending on social context, mushrooms there have multiple meanings, ranging from emergency food for the hungry to the mark of a festive table. (Mushrooms, Chukchi, Slavs, Yupik, Chukotka) Wild mushrooms are an important source of food for the rural poor in regions as geographically distant from one another as Africa, Eastern Europe, and the Russian Arctic. Not only is there a heavy reliance on them, but also some notable similarities in the ways wild mushrooms are utilized in the cuisines and consumption patterns among the peoples inhabiting these diverse environments. For example, the Bemba in Zambia, Africa, have a porridge (ubwali) served with a mushroom relish made of varieties of Lactarius, Termitomyces, or Amanita, and the dish will likely be the main fare from late November through February or March (Chilieshe 2005; Richards 1939). In Belarus, a favorite dinner entrée is a savory stew of potatoes and golden chanterelle mushrooms. Traveling 14 time zones east of Belarus, we find a similar dish of potatoes and mushrooms that is just as popular along the Pacific and Arctic shores of the Russian Federation.
