Russian National Cuisine: a View from Outside
International Journal of Innovation and Research in Educational Sciences Volume 6, Issue 2, ISSN (Online) : 2349–5219 Russian National Cuisine: A View from Outside Natalya V. Kravchenko Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russia. Date of publication (dd/mm/yyyy): 14/03/2019 Abstract – The article tackles the issue of how Russian national cuisine is perceived by foreigners. It compares Russians’ beliefs about their own national cuisine with foreigners’ observations about it and some encyclopedic facts about a number of “traditional” Russian dishes. As a research method, the cross-cultural comparison is used. As a result, it proves that some Russian dishes are not so Russian in origin and states that foreigners often find the taste of these dishes unusual. So, it may be challenging for representatives of one culture to adjust to another national cuisine. Keywords – Cultural Anthropology, Foreigners’ Travel-Notes and Observations, National Cuisines and Russian National Cuisine. I. INTRODUCTION Nowadays we live in a global world or so called “global village” connected with each other by different means of transport and communication. It’s becoming incredibly easy to explore other nations and cultures either by travelling or by using social media. It has resulted in such branches of humanities as cross-cultural studies and cultural anthropology being on peak of their demand. Here I would like to pay special attention to cultural anthropology. As a branch of academia it tackles the issue of a person’s cultural development including all knowledge from Humanities. (1) In this paper I will stick to a relatively new field of cultural anthropology called history of everyday life culture. -

Kitchens Around the World- Russia Syrniki
Kitchens Around the World- Russia By Samantha Guthrie March 21, 2015 Syrniki Small pancake-shaped patties of Russian farmer’s cheese, a typical breakfast food or a dessert Ingredients 40 oz. tvorog 15 eggs 7 cups flour + extra for dusting 10 tbsps. sugar 2.5 tsps. salt 2.5 tsps. baking soda Cooking oil 1-2 cups powdered sugar (topping) Sour cream (topping) Supplies 4-10 mixing bowls Frying pans Paper towels Directions 1. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the eggs and farmers cheese until combined. (A fork or spoon would work) 2. In a separate large mixing bowl, mix dry ingredients together- sifted flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda until combined. 3. Add the flour mixture into the egg mixture and mix well until everything is incorporated. The dough will be sticky and slightly lumpy. 4. Transfer the dough onto a well-floured surface. Sprinkle some flour on top and shape into a log with your hands, about 2 inches wide (not length). 5. Cut the log about 3/4 inch sections vertically with a knife. For each cut out dough, dip sides in flour. Using your fingers, squish sides to form into a circle and pat down to flatten. 6. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle on medium high heat. Add a few tablespoons of oil in a skillet, or generously grease a griddle. Shake off excess flour and fry the syrniki about 2-3 minutes on both sides. 7. Place fried syrniki on paper towel to soak up that oil.

Middle Eastern Cuisine
MIDDLE EASTERN CUISINE The term Middle Eastern cuisine refers to the various cuisines of the Middle East. Despite their similarities, there are considerable differences in climate and culture, so that the term is not particularly useful. Commonly used ingredients include pitas, honey, sesame seeds, sumac, chickpeas, mint and parsley. The Middle Eastern cuisines include: Arab cuisine Armenian cuisine Cuisine of Azerbaijan Assyrian cuisine Cypriot cuisine Egyptian cuisine Israeli cuisine Iraqi cuisine Iranian (Persian) cuisine Lebanese cuisine Palestinian cuisine Somali cuisine Syrian cuisine Turkish cuisine Yemeni cuisine ARAB CUISINE Arab cuisine is defined as the various regional cuisines spanning the Arab World from Iraq to Morocco to Somalia to Yemen, and incorporating Levantine, Egyptian and others. It has also been influenced to a degree by the cuisines of Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, India, the Berbers and other cultures of the peoples of the region before the cultural Arabization brought by genealogical Arabians during the Arabian Muslim conquests. HISTORY Originally, the Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula relied heavily on a diet of dates, wheat, barley, rice and meat, with little variety, with a heavy emphasis on yogurt products, such as labneh (yoghurt without butterfat). As the indigenous Semitic people of the peninsula wandered, so did their tastes and favored ingredients. There is a strong emphasis on the following items in Arabian cuisine: 1. Meat: lamb and chicken are the most used, beef and camel are also used to a lesser degree, other poultry is used in some regions, and, in coastal areas, fish. Pork is not commonly eaten--for Muslim Arabs, it is both a cultural taboo as well as being prohibited under Islamic law; many Christian Arabs also avoid pork as they have never acquired a taste for it.
