I would like to correct you. Chak chak has nothing to do with cashew. It's basically crispy cookies made from deep-fried pieces of dough mixed with honey syrup. Very tasty.
@@Whatarewetalkingabouthere looks awful, but it's a tatar desert, and i live in Tatarstan(which is a republic in russia). It's a very sweet and tasty dessert, wihch you won't like, if you don't like honey. By texture, it's giving more of fried cookies in syrup. It's very much quality related, and you need to find your own brand even here.
To tell the truth, you can easily close thеse glass jars and you don't need to consume the whole their contents once you open it. There are special nylon caps used for that purpose. They are sold in any supermarket and almost every family has it.
Let me correct your wonderful speech about Russian unknown food. Russian soda is not a soda water at all, it’s sweet drink, based on some grass or fruit that was carbon detoxified. It’s natural drink. As to Kissel, it’s no jelly, it is made if fruit juce, boiled with cornstarch . It’s also natural health food and it’s good for poor stomach. They put bear in a bag not to show your drink outside. Because there’s a law that you can’ drink alcohol outside in public place .
I am not going to lie. This whole superstore experience makes me want to travel to Russia. I am from Canada, so I don't know how I would get there, but I would absolutely love to go.
Tushonka is not for poor people. It's for everyone. Selected, more expensive brands taste really good. I buy a lot just for the taste, not because I'm "poor". smh
Russia has a real mind your business type of culture, it's hard for a lot of americans to understand but most people don't want to talk to strangers about what they're doing or why, they're just trying to go about their day and do their own thing!!!
That's what you see in Moscow, but in the small towns people love to assess your outfit and stare at you if you are differed from their expectations of how you should look...
@@antoniok2015 Well I've been in Russia about 12 years, I lived in a few small towns including Belgorod, Neberzny Chelny and Gelendzik, I never had any problems as all, especially compared to the US. Also my GF is from a small town in the south and she's one of the nicest people I ever met, her best friend is nice and her parents raised her with really good values that most people forgot about a few dacades ago in the US!!!
Почему были сладкоежка и ??? Мы и сейчас не пьем пустой чай . Мы пьем чай с печеньем , с конфетами , тортами , с пирожными , с мушками , с баранками с пряниками , с финиками . В зависимости чего хочется на данный момент .
У нас действительно есть много сладкой выпечки. Не забывайте, зимы у нас суровые, нам нужны углеводы зимой, чтобы было комфортнее и теплее)) потому у нас очень много горячих супов - зашел с мороза и согрелся едой)
Not true, you can close those jars of juice - every russian home has nylon(plastic) caps that snaps perfectly to that jar. Also Tarfun and Dushes - are the best soda I ever tried, I also like kvas. Kisel is not "jelled juice" Its juice with starch - very good for little kids and for adults with health problem, very soft on your stomach. Pryanik is not cracker - its a Ginger bread. Tvorog is not Cottage cheese - its a farmers cheese that you can buy in US. What you called a "baby food" its just what we call in US an Apple sauce. And the preserved meat - its actually my favorite - its like a stewed meat that you can add to Kasha, or soup, or veggies and have a fast ready dish (I love it because I don't like to wait to hours until stewed meat get ready). You comment about bacon is been just smoked and not cooked is funny - what kind of bacon do you think you are getting in US - surprise - its also just smoked!! The cooked one you will get only in fast food restaurant. Regardless avocado and mango - you act like in US they sell them supersoft, they are also sell them hard as a rock in supermarket and you have to wait a week until they are ready to eat. Regarding Lays сheeps - I can tell you that every country has its own flavors, for example in Turkey there was Lays with yogurt, and some other flavors that I've never seen before.
sorry, did you try Tarhun and Dyushes in old Soviet times or modern ones? if just modern ones then it have nothing to do with the original taste of those authetic Soviet drinks, except for the name and color of the drink.
Zefir (зефир) is very soft. It is a Russian version of marshmallow, but usually made with apple sauce, so it has a little different taste from a regular marshmallow. You are confusing zefir with meringue, which is called bezé (безе) in Russian. It looks similar to zefir but unlike zefir bezé is dry.
ты вообще в курсе, что зефир это древнейший десерт и не относится к русской культуре? И тем более это не какая-то версия маршмеллоу, а известный рецепт десерта. Поколение ЕГЭ...
@@Motor4ik33, цитата из Википедии: Zefir is derived from the traditional Russian pastila confectionery, but with added egg white foam and a gelling agent. An addition of unwhipped egg whites to the recipe originated in the town of Kolomna sometime during the 15th century, and in the 19th century the zefir dessert most likely emerged in its modern form with whipped egg whites due to a French adaptation on the recipe that was later brought back to Russia. Насчет же версии маршмеллоу - здесь слово "version" переводится как вариант, опция - указывая просто на то, что эти два десерта похожи. Так что автор комментария написала всё корректно.
Chacha 2:41 is an ancient Caucasian grape vodka, similar in taste to Spanish / Italian grappa, which has a direct connection with the history of the migration of peoples, because some of the ancestors of the Spaniards were originally from the Caucasus
You forgot to show the mayonnaise aisle, there's no country in the world that has so many brands to choose from.. 😅 I adore it and I believe the Russians eat the tastier mayonnaise ever! Fermented milk products are so healthy. Kefir is like buttermilk and that type of cottage cheese is called curd cheese.
Ketchup maybe too. For example, in Canada they eat Heinz everywhere. The same taste all the time. In Russia there are many and every brand has variety.
As a Russian who recently moved to Canada I miss quite a few food items (kefir and pelmeni mostly). But mayonnaise and ketchup?! :-) "Mayo" is really popular in Russia and usually has a very long shelf life, it is also not a "controlled" product, producers don't have to report substitutes as the do for milk products. I think only Vkusvill made very expensive mayo from liquid eggs. Egg content in my favorite "Sloboda" was 1.7% as per the latest roskontrol tests (and this is totally expected). Non of them can remotely compete Hellmanns and even with Walmart's Great Value here in Canada. And even them pale in comparison with simple home made mayo. They aren't bad, mind you, I just don't miss the emulsified oil water mixture with some spices a single bit!! :-)
Когда я приехала в Германию и немцы думали удивить меня немецкими магазинами и продуктами мне было немного смешно))) ведь наши магазины больше и продуктов больше и почти все немецкие продукты у нас тоже есть))) И купить все можно даже ночью. Они не могли понять почему я не удивляюсь))
и это еще до того, как попробовать немецкую еду на вкус. С удивлением обнаружилось, что в "цивилизованных странах" "еду" видимо делают из переработанных покрышек и бумаги. Взять хотя бы их столь разрекламированные сосиски. При чем, с началом повышения цен они еще ухудшились - "санкции работают!". У поляков и чехов раньше еда была вкуснее, но за последние годы видимо и их настигл "Фелики Гегмански Культуг" и они тоже научились делать еду не из еды.
Да, у нас выбор хороший. Но вот с иностранными продуктами туговато. Хамон сложно найти, да и никакого выбора нет. Бекон наши делать нормально не умеют. Зарубежные сыры тоже сейчас под санкциями.
@@Delson868 ну, если вы так по хамону исстрадались, делайте сами. Там ничего сложного. Может, хамон иберико у вас и не получится, но средне-европейский шинкен/прошутто после нескольких попыток получается вполне нормально. Можете себя и копаколой, и панчеттой, и бастурмой побаловать.

I stopped packing alcohol for my friends in Russia a long time ago. I was surprised that one time I was carrying a big bottle of Jack Daniels from Detroit to Moscow in my self-care, limited myself from bringing stuff that I needed, made my bag very heavy, and was afraid to break it all the time only until I came to a Russia store and found out the same bottle of whisky for the same price as I bought it.
@@ФедорГеоргиевич-ь1ю Возможно, но в итоге - после эпохи Советского Союза - его теперь знают и в Риге, и даже в США. Союз популяризировал этот напиток.
Idk buddy but mangos and avocados are supposed to be sold rock hard so that they don't go soft and rot in 2 to 3 days of being ripe. They are meant to survive travel to the destination where it is going to be sold and still sit for days until it gets sold and the buyer should know to buy avocado and or mangos 2-3 days before the planned consumption of them.
Not only that, but now they sell mangos and avocados "ready to eat" which are fully ripe and about 1,5 times more expensive. You can see them in the video to the left of Tom when he's talking bs grabbing those perfectly fine unripe mangos
From my experience those hard ones in Russia are not at all like ripe at home in other countries. These were picked so early they would never ripe at home (I tried), you can only probably make pickled mangoes out of them but those are not known in Russia.
@@lorainisrael well that depends on the quality of produce at a specific shop. As for me, if I'm in dire need of avocado for my recipe and I need it fast - it's a lot easier to buy already ripe ones, it's not like they're 5 times the cost
Right! There is now such thing as a ripe avocado on a tree, you have to pick them then let them ripe over time. Almost all citrus in the US is picked green and ripened over time. I don’t know what part of Texas this white boy is from probably somewhere with no agriculture, because he should know better.
@@krinich8948 У меня растет. Южный Урал. Не такой, как на Кубани и не всегда успевает созреть, но если созревает - вполне съедобный. Возможно сейчас есть и лучше сорта.
Zephyr isn't really hard. You probably confused it with beze which looks exactly the same but but is very hard and becomes sand when you bite (i hate it).
Kissel has no jello - it contains starch... So you drink and eat at the same time...:-) And chak-chak is not cashews - those are zigzagging pastries with honey... There are no cashews growing in Russia, and this is a national dessert of Tatarstan.

@@baghazukhov152in the 80s there was an economic crisis in the Soviet Union, a change began in the economic and political program that Gorbachev started, called “perestroika”. They tried to do what China eventually succeeded in doing, and the USSR collapsed. At that time, the stores had empty shelves, and people stood in lines, knowing when small batches of various products would be delivered. Almost all families had their own plots of land with houses outside the city, with vegetable gardens; this compensated for the lack of food in stores for personal consumption. Therefore, those who immigrated to the USA or Europe in those years were shocked by the abundance of goods abroad. Now this won’t surprise anyone in Russia; there’s everything in abundance.
@@whatafreakinusernameno offense, but there is practically no national food in America... everything that the locals call "American" is taken from other countries, even burgers. so what kind of food are we talking about? about restaurants with mixed national cuisines of other countries?
@@whatafreakinusernameFrom my experience, Mexican food and American steaks are really good in US but everything else seemed less delicious and more expensive (especially in CA).
I read the comments and I'm shocked. One girl wrote, "I'm from Texas and we don't have such a choice of products," I almost fell off my chair.Americans are especially surprised (I don't know why) by the presence of pickled foods.I thought you had it for sale in any store there.Fried potatoes in the oven, with meat and pickled cucumbers, sour cream and herbs, your head will come off from the combination of flavors. You can't imagine how many people write, buy some special milk for pancakes.And we fry pancakes on ordinary milk, when it became sour and spoiled, these are such strange differences, but in fact there is no difference.About the stew separate laughter.Buckwheat porridge with stewed meat is generally a top, and "pasta according to the navy"..how do I say this in English?Pasta of the US Marine Corps soldiers😆And the compote?In winter, you come back from work, it's cold outside and open a jar of cherry compote, which you yourself made in the summer from cherries that you collected in the garden, these are not transferable sensations And a bunch of other things
The thing is. The milk that we have in the west - doesn’t get sour when it goes off!!!! Ta-da 😅it’s mixed with some crap, it separates into weird “powdery” crap on the bottom and dirty water-like liquid on the top. That’s it. Smells bad but it’s not sour. Can’t use it for anything else. Milk is not the same. I also react to milk (get stuffed nose and phlegm right away), when I tried local Russian milk I never had any reactions, I could drink tons of it and never had any issues.
@@DmitryTarkovsky I don't. my milk never gets sour. I can add kefir probiotic powder into milk to make it look/taste somewhat like Russian kefir, but really it's nothing like it lol . We have 2 kinds of cottage cheese at our store and it's again nothing like the one I tried in Russia. 🙈
I am a Russian living in the US. Here, when milk becomes sour and spoiled, it goes BAD. It smells bad, and is probably toxic. Forget about making pancakes with it. Not sure why.
@@xmyxymx We have milk like that here too but nobody buys it unless they are going on a trip or something and need to take milk with them that won't get spoiled in a day without a fridge. Also a fun fact. Milk actually gets spoiled after a thunderstorm
Actually, it’s not that weird that they cover the beer in paper sunlight destroys beer. that’s why the majority of beer bottles are dark colored. kind of like when you tint your car windows to not letting so much light.
@@zakkmylde1712 I think you’re in urban myth bro 😅 you don’t store beer in a wooden barrel where temperature ups and downs absorb it into the wood and release it.a glass or aluminum can. Sunlight does destroy a beer gives it a funky taste.. that’s why the majority of beers have a tint to the glass..
@@zakkmylde1712 BS, any hoppy beer, such as an IPA will alter very quickly when exposed to light. 3-Methyl-3-butene-1-thiol is the actual chemical produced when the hoppy beer is exposed to light. Green and white bottles expose beer to more light than a brown bottle, and even a brown bottle exposes it more than a can.
Kompot usually produced from fruits without alchohol and many many people doing in at home from natural fruits(many people have summer houses which we call "Dacha"-its garden with summer house , Russian Sauna-Banya and the place for grilling meat). So you can be sure that its 100% natural. Its fruits+sugar,boiled. For many people its tasty and every family have own recipe(different mixes of fruits,different quanity of sugar etc). Its quite healthy if you not put too much sugar in it. I never tried Kompot from supermarket and i hope that i will not.
Зачем сахар??? Мы еще делаем компот из сухофруктов 😍😍😍 если добавлять финики или очень сладкий фрукт, то компот будет кисло-сладким и без сахара. Вообще компот из сухофруктов - это отвал башки)))
Kompot is one way to persuade your spoiled kids to drink something during the day because water is not sweet, and all others drinks are not as healthy as a boiled fruit-flavoured water. We drink it as adults because we get used to it during childhood.
And Russian woman all make vegetables and fruit cans at home and it’s not “to survive “ but because it’s tasty and we have plenty of tasty recipes to make. It’s kind of prepared vegetables for fast food at home. And most of the families have country houses where we grow eco fruit and vegetables, so we need to keep them somehow. And your girlfriend must be from very poor family if she say so about her grandma’s canning. We also make salt vegetables and they’re very tasty but it should be stored in low temperature as they are made with lactobacillus ‘ help. That cans in the store is for poor people who don’t do canning at home or for lonely men who can’t do that. as that canned vegetables are not tasty.

Pretty little amount of people have summer houses. Women who are not retired grandmas can food very rarely. Also, it's overwise about poverty: poor people grow their own veggies and can it. Because fresh veggies are expensive in winter. Small town people of Russia are obsessed with their kitchen gardens and "realness" of their food for an unknown reason. That's why they are sure that everyone in Russian has a summer house, tend a kitchen garden, grow their own food, can all the food and eat only made from scratch meals. Nope. We do not. We are just average Europeans speaking of eating. Greetings from St. Petersburg.
@@Amany001 Простите, но вы так говорите про еду, как будто у вас других интересов в жизни нет)) Ни один из знакомых мне людей не станет тратить столько времени просто чтобы съесть условное "вкусное лечо". Есть множество занятей поинтереснее)
Imagine a world where politicians and big business do not artificially create tension between countries and peoples. Where you can fly to any country without fear and you will not be looked at with tension. How easy it is to manipulate us and sow the seeds of distrust and evil towards other people...
Shoot… I moved to the USA from Russia 20 years ago and I miss all these Russian foods so much. There’s so much variety of different foods and flavors in Russia. American supermarkets are super boring. But lots of what was shown is not originally Russian but from all different neighboring countries and cuisines. It’s just for the last 1000 years Russians adopted so much from all over the world. Missing it…
In all honesty and from my personal point of view, the German and Russian cuisine seems to have some similarities. Except for really few differences, I would have settled in culinary after 14 days......Disgusting looking pork in a glass? Hell yeah....^^
In fact, not everything is so simple, when Coca-Cola left the Russian market, the factories that they left did not represent the same value, since the most important ingredient, cola syrup, was no longer supplied. For six months, the Dobry Cola company has been developing a recipe that is as similar in taste to the original as possible, of course, the taste is still different, but in my opinion, even for the better now. I have the opportunity to buy imported Coca Cola or Russian Dobry Cola, I prefer Dobry, the price is almost the same, but I like the taste more. Other brands like chernogolovka, classic cola, etc... are terribly by my opinions concerning cola taste.

My daughter spent 8 years in Russia and still hasn’t learned Russian grammar and how to speak properly. She speaks well but with a strong American accent and uses English words in her sentences, mixes two languages. The Russian kids were very cruel to her in school because of her language barrier and her super friendly personality. They found it weird. One Armenian kid threw stones at her when he found out she was an American. They fought a lot: a 10 year old boy with a 7 year old girl!!!! I told her to fight back, but we got tired of all this, we had to pack and leave. We are in Los Angeles now and she is a straight A student here. The only good part she remembers about Russia is food. She hated schools, kids, grumpy old people on streets and buses. She doesn’t want to go back. Bad memories.
At 5:40 there are plastic or rubber lids or caps sold in most places to close jars. Most jars have same diameter of the lid in Russia. That helps prolonging expiration of the product once airtight lid is open
13:13 GAMES OF THRONES: "WINTER IS COMING" !. It is a phrase that expresses poorly period and fear for life. In Russia, if someone says "Winter is coming", it's true. Now is a different time, but having a huge supply of food at home in different shapes and ways of storage really saves lives. Still not only in Russia, but also in other states with a hard and long winter, this is how they preserve and protect food. It's a great way to be self-sufficient and enjoy summer food until the next farming season. ... So, if you are in Russia, the words "winter is coming!"you don't really have to worry.

Sea buckthorn berry flavoured things are also quite common in Finland. We also have those un-flavoured circle-shaped cracker things here. Halva originates from Iran, but it's common in many middle eastern countries, Greece, India, and Dijibouti. You can find vegan "caviar" in the US. Mangos and avocados and such are often stored in the cold, or else they get too ripe too fast. Green grapefruit is a thing. We also have sauna aisles in our big stores in Finland, because saunas are a big part of our culture (in fact, I just came out of the sauna like 2 hours ago).
Прежде чем хаять может быть стоит попробовать? Тушенка это не еда для бедных, это еда для всех. Незаменима на природе, в лесу, в походах. Долго не портится. Очень вкусное блюдо- макароны по флотски. Попробуйте сначала прежде чем делать выводы. В России едят в основном здоровую пищу.
Пытается гнуть пальцы просто и охаять,а не выходит)))) Тушенку вообще в сша научились в жестянки закатывать,а потом к нам технологию завезли. Зефир ему не маршемелоу, компот ему не нравится, на фига вообще припёрся 😁😁😁
Тушенка - это еда для ленивых и/или холостяков. На фоне жричёдали это может быть и съедобно, но за эти деньги можно купить нормальное мясо и приготовить что-то действительно вкусное. Для походов это тоже полное фигня, тяжело и бестолково. Не путайте здоровую и натуральную пищу, натуральное не всегда здоровое.

У нас очень жирная еда, просто потому, что мы северная страна, поэтому и продолжительность жизни невысокая.
It's so nice to see that they still use glass bottles for the soda in Russia. I live in Norway and everything is in plastic bottles here except for beer. But I am old enough to remember when everything was glass before all this plastic shit came and ruined it all. We had beer in plastic bottles for a while but they never sold because the plastic ruined the beer flavor.
canned meat is not for poor people and it's really tasty. It's really used as a food for hitch hikers, because it's preserved in the way, that it will not get spoiled until you open it and it's really tasty, but, of course, you can eat it at home. I really like it. "Tushonka" is translated as stew to english.
These 3-liter jars of juice (as well as smaller ones with meat or any other stuff sealed like that) can be closed after opening. There are special reusable plastic caps designed for this type of jar neck, which are sold separately. Soviet-style eco-friendly package, especially keeping in mind that empty jars could be returned for recycling or used for home-made preservations.
Oooph, I have so much to correct in this video I don't even know where to start!!! We CAN seal our jars, we have flexible plastic caps that can be used for years, my mum still keeps them in the kitchen drawer, I prefer to buy smaller jars I can finish in several days. Zephyr should be on the softer side, think of souffle with a crispy crust and is made of mashed apples, thry are boiled and whipped till they become white. Eggplant "caviar" is orange because it also contains carrots, tomato sauce and oil. You found one brand of mouthwash that is literally called Forest balsam that specialises on "foresty" flavours, check any other brand - and you can find all kinds of minty fresh ones. I'm too lazy to write everything I disagree with you on coz it would literally take forever. I'm very sad that there are people who would watch this video and believe everything you say 😢

Kissel is a Russian smoothie that is centuries old. As a flavor base, local berries are used - cranberries, cherries, currants, etc. and fruits - apples, pears, etc. That is, what grows in Russia. But you can make kissel from the exotic. American smoothies are thickened with either a banana or oatmeal - Russian jelly is thickened with starch (potato or corn). In both cases, thickening occurs with starch, but bananas do not grow in Russia. Because of the thickener, the American smoothie is opaque. Russian kissel is always transparent (but colored because of the berries). A smoothie requires a chopping mechanism (mixer, blender) - Russian kissel is made without sophisticated equipment, just a saucepan and a stove (fire). It's hot in America, so smoothies are made cold. It is cold in Russia, so kissel is usually served hot or warm (it is not so tasty cold). By changing the amount of starch, Russian kissel can be very liquid or thicker. This allows you to use it both for drinking and as a gravy for pancakes, cheesecakes or other dishes. The calorie content of kissel is from 75 to 350 kilocalories per 100 gr. It has an enveloping effect, protecting the mucous membrane of the digestive organs, it is included in the menu for people with problems of the gastrointestinal tract. Like smoothies, the liquid base can be either water or milk. It should be noted that oats and banana can cause unpleasant toilet consequences. Starch does not cause such effects.

Hey Tom! Great video, thanks! Just a correction regarding ГОСТ/GOST - it's referring to state standard, not necessarily a quality.

Oh, I live in US last 9 years and miss all those delicious things we used to buy in Russia, here you cannot find any nice tasty drinks, only bunch of chemical drink or soda, which I never buy as I don't want to kill myself)) but I have opportunity to go to Russian store and buy some delishesness there! Thank you for the video, it was fun to watch. Also it is so curious that there are people who doesn't like comlpot!😄
Tell me about it. I drink Kombucha instead of soda, but few of our supermarkets have it. Didn't always used to be that way. Rootbeer and Birch Beer were naturally brewed originally. And I think you can still find old style Rootbeer in areas with large Amish populations.

We are Armenians and we eat almost everything russians eat like in russian xавиар its the same խավիար or we Armenians every autumn are making компот aka կամպոտ and we put it in our basement ao we can eat and drink it in winter and Spring😮😂

When the water changes color and the fruit fades completely, turn it off. At the end, let it cool for some hours and presto. Kompot
Zefir is not a meringue. I guess it looks like one, that's why he confused it with meringue. In fact Zefir is very soft, more similar to large marshmallows shaped like meringues. It's like marshmallow, but is made with apple sauce, so it has a little different taste from regular marshmallow.
Kefir is quite popular in US, usually sold under the Lifeway brand; and the 'cottage cheese' you mentioned is what you can find here in most grocery stores as 'farmers cheese', look in the refrigerator section
However the lifeway kefir is different than most of the kefir here in Russia. When I go to America I prefer drinking Turkish ayran over the lifeway kefir
The problem is that there is basically only one brand of kefir in USA and many Americans still don’t know or use it. Yogurt is much more common and popular. Also, literally only one brand of farmers cheese ( I think it’s called friendship). Very small package yet expensive. Cottage cheese isn’t the same as farmers.
The lifeway Kefir is absolutely low quality compared to the regular Russian ones, even their full fat organic versions don't compare to the real thing, imo
As a food technologist: GOST is a set of regulations that ALL products must comply, but some manufacturers print it on the bottle as a POI. HACCP is also quite common nowadays
7:15 Russia has a law prohibiting the drinking of alcoholic beverages in public places, in other words, on the street. And people often want to drink alcohol, for example in the park or by the water. You can hide a bottle of beer in a paper bag or something else so that the police do not fine you. Therefore, some manufacturers produce bottles of beer already in a paper bag, as an advantage. Usually such a small paper bag is difficult to find and is sold in stores very rarely.
In Russia, the paper on a bottle of beer plays more of a brand role, with our police you will not be able to enter into a legal controversy "do they have the right to detain you if you drink alcohol in paper." If you argue, you will be detained harshly, you will spend half a day in the police station, harshly, and you will receive a fine. I think it's right. But, anyway, it happens that people drink in public places at their own risk.
My experience (2014-2020) was if you weren't drinking a big bottle and didn't act like a pizdets, nobody cared. The worst that ever happened to me was the police saw me drinking vodka in public and asked nicely for some. We talked for a few minute and passed the bottle around, before they returned it to me empty, explaining it makes them sad to see young men drinking on the street when there are nice drinks like kvas, tarhun, kompot, and mors. I told him that was a good idea, to which the sergeant of those police said it was more than just a good idea, it was the law. I was very embarassed and of course said prosti menya ya ne budut povtorit. This was 2015 in Moscow.
Году в 2014, я с друзьями пил пиво на детской площадке. Выглядели мы как истинные гопники, у меня даже было худи адидас с полосками😅, и мимо проходящие менты тоже только сказали не пить на площадке и все. Мы сказали хорошо, сейчас уйдем и ушли. Для моралфагов: Время было достаточно позднее, дети уже были дома
It was very interesting to see your perspective on russian products. I enjoyed it, thank you. But you made so many factical mistakes About so many products :)
We have two main standards for products: one is called ГОСТ - государственный стандарт (state standard) and ТУ - технические условия (specifications) with the latter having a reputation being easier to comply with, so ГОСТ (pronounced like host but with g instead of h) has a bit better reputation since the standard itself and the abbreviature come from soviet times beloved by many people idk why.
Bottles of beer are often put in bags so people could drink them in public places, I guess. Or maybe it’s easier to preserve beer in non transparent packaging.

You guys can make Tushonka yourself. Take glass jar. Put beef inside and species you like. You may also ad paprika, onions, garlic, potato, salt , pepper, bay leaf. Put jar into boiling water so that water cover most of the jar and boil it 2-3 hours. You can put on some cap on the jar so that water did not get inside while boiling. And you get Tushenka. You can safe it for month if you close jar with cap right after you take it out. But put cap in the boiling water so no bacteria get in the jar. So, you can eat it later.

Let me correct your wonderful speech about Russian unknown food. Russian soda is not a soda water at all, it’s sweet drink, based on some grass or fruit that was carbon detoxified. It’s natural drink. As to Kissel, it’s no jelly, it is made if fruit juce, boiled with cornstarch . It’s also natural health food and it’s good for poor stomach.

Not true, you can close those jars of juice - every russian home has nylon(plastic) caps that snaps perfectly to that jar. Also Tarfun and Dushes - are the best soda I ever tried, I also like kvas. Kisel is not "jelled juice" Its juice with starch - very good for little kids and for adults with health problem, very soft on your stomach. Pryanik is not cracker - its a Ginger bread. Tvorog is not Cottage cheese - its a farmers cheese that you can buy in US. What you called a "baby food" its just what we call in US an Apple sauce. And the preserved meat - its actually my favorite - its like a stewed meat that you can add to Kasha, or soup, or veggies and have a fast ready dish (I love it because I don't like to wait to hours until stewed meat get ready). You comment about bacon is been just smoked and not cooked is funny - what kind of bacon do you think you are getting in US - surprise - its also just smoked!! The cooked one you will get only in fast food restaurant. Regardless avocado and mango - you act like in US they sell them supersoft, they are also sell them hard as a rock in supermarket and you have to wait a week until they are ready to eat. Regarding Lays сheeps - I can tell you that every country has its own flavors, for example in Turkey there was Lays with yogurt, and some other flavors that I've never seen before.
sorry, did you try Tarhun and Dyushes in old Soviet times or modern ones? if just modern ones then it have nothing to do with the original taste of those authetic Soviet drinks, except for the name and color of the drink.

Zefir (зефир) is very soft. It is a Russian version of marshmallow, but usually made with apple sauce, so it has a little different taste from a regular marshmallow.

ты вообще в курсе, что зефир это древнейший десерт и не относится к русской культуре? И тем более это не какая-то версия маршмеллоу, а известный рецепт десерта. Поколение ЕГЭ...
@@Motor4ik33, цитата из Википедии: Zefir is derived from the traditional Russian pastila confectionery, but with added egg white foam and a gelling agent. An addition of unwhipped egg whites to the recipe originated in the town of Kolomna sometime during the 15th century, and in the 19th century the zefir dessert most likely emerged in its modern form with whipped egg whites due to a French adaptation on the recipe that was later brought back to Russia.

I adore it and I believe the Russians eat the tastier mayonnaise ever!
Fermented milk products are so healthy. Kefir is like buttermilk and that type of cottage cheese is called curd cheese.
Ketchup maybe too. For example, in Canada they eat Heinz everywhere. The same taste all the time. In Russia there are many and every brand has variety.
As a Russian who recently moved to Canada I miss quite a few food items (kefir and pelmeni mostly). But mayonnaise and ketchup?! :-)
"Mayo" is really popular in Russia and usually has a very long shelf life, it is also not a "controlled" product, producers don't have to report substitutes as the do for milk products. I think only Vkusvill made very expensive mayo from liquid eggs. Egg content in my favorite "Sloboda" was 1.7% as per the latest roskontrol tests (and this is totally expected).
Non of them can remotely compete Hellmanns and even with Walmart's Great Value here in Canada. And even them pale in comparison with simple home made mayo.
They aren't bad, mind you, I just don't miss the emulsified oil water mixture with some spices a single bit!! :-)

Not only that, but now they sell mangos and avocados "ready to eat" which are fully ripe and about 1,5 times more expensive. You can see them in the video to the left of Tom when he's talking bs grabbing those perfectly fine unripe mangos
From my experience those hard ones in Russia are not at all like ripe at home in other countries. These were picked so early they would never ripe at home (I tried), you can only probably make pickled mangoes out of them but those are not known in Russia.

The thing is. The milk that we have in the west - doesn’t get sour when it goes off!!!! Ta-da 😅it’s mixed with some crap, it separates into weird “powdery” crap on the bottom and dirty water-like liquid on the top. That’s it. Smells bad but it’s not sour. Can’t use it for anything else. Milk is not the same. I also react to milk (get stuffed nose and phlegm right away), when I tried local Russian milk I never had any reactions, I could drink tons of it and never had any issues.
@@xmyxymx I don’t want to seem intrusive, but don’t you make cheese from cottage cheese and kefir at home either?
@@DmitryTarkovsky I don't. my milk never gets sour. I can add kefir probiotic powder into milk to make it look/taste somewhat like Russian kefir, but really it's nothing like it lol . We have 2 kinds of cottage cheese at our store and it's again nothing like the one I tried in Russia. 🙈
I am a Russian living in the US. Here, when milk becomes sour and spoiled, it goes BAD. It smells bad, and is probably toxic. Forget about making pancakes with it. Not sure why.
@@xmyxymx We have milk like that here too but nobody buys it unless they are going on a trip or something and need to take milk with them that won't get spoiled in a day without a fridge. Also a fun fact. Milk actually gets spoiled after a thunderstorm
Actually, it’s not that weird that they cover the beer in paper sunlight destroys beer. that’s why the majority of beer bottles are dark colored. kind of like when you tint your car windows to not letting so much light.
That's basically an urban myth, light doesn't do anything to beer, time and fluctuations in temperature are what cause beer to go bad.
@@zakkmylde1712 I think you’re in urban myth bro 😅 you don’t store beer in a wooden barrel where temperature ups and downs absorb it into the wood and release it.a glass or aluminum can. Sunlight does destroy a beer gives it a funky taste.. that’s why the majority of beers have a tint to the glass..
Exactly!!! Bingo! Как русская подтверждаю это
Нет, распития спиртных напитков, у нас штраф. Всё от детских и людских глаз должно быть закрыто. И это правильно!
@@zakkmylde1712 BS, any hoppy beer, such as an IPA will alter very quickly when exposed to light. 3-Methyl-3-butene-1-thiol is the actual chemical produced when the hoppy beer is exposed to light. Green and white bottles expose beer to more light than a brown bottle, and even a brown bottle exposes it more than a can.
Kompot usually produced from fruits without alchohol and many many people doing in at home from natural fruits(many people have summer houses which we call "Dacha"-its garden with summer house , Russian Sauna-Banya and the place for grilling meat). So you can be sure that its 100% natural. Its fruits+sugar,boiled. For many people its tasty and every family have own recipe(different mixes of fruits,different quanity of sugar etc). Its quite healthy if you not put too much sugar in it.
I never tried Kompot from supermarket and i hope that i will not.
Зачем сахар??? Мы еще делаем компот из сухофруктов 😍😍😍 если добавлять финики или очень сладкий фрукт, то компот будет кисло-сладким и без сахара. Вообще компот из сухофруктов - это отвал башки)))
Kompot is so good I have it as a nickname
Kompot is one way to persuade your spoiled kids to drink something during the day because water is not sweet, and all others drinks are not as healthy as a boiled fruit-flavoured water. We drink it as adults because we get used to it during childhood.
I bought compote in the store. Fine

And Russian woman all make vegetables and fruit cans at home and it’s not “to survive “ but because it’s tasty and we have plenty of tasty recipes to make. It’s kind of prepared vegetables for fast food at home. And most of the families have country houses where we grow eco fruit and vegetables, so we need to keep them somehow. And your girlfriend must be from very poor family if she say so about her grandma’s canning. We also make salt vegetables and they’re very tasty but it should be stored in low temperature as they are made with lactobacillus ‘ help. That cans in the store is for poor people who don’t do canning at home or for lonely men who can’t do that. as that canned vegetables are not tasty.

Pretty little amount of people have summer houses. Women who are not retired grandmas can food very rarely. Also, it's overwise about poverty: poor people grow their own veggies and can it. Because fresh veggies are expensive in winter. Small town people of Russia are obsessed with their kitchen gardens and "realness" of their food for an unknown reason. That's why they are sure that everyone in Russian has a summer house, tend a kitchen garden, grow their own food, can all the food and eat only made from scratch meals. Nope. We do not.

Shoot… I moved to the USA from Russia 20 years ago and I miss all these Russian foods so much. There’s so much variety of different foods and flavors in Russia. American supermarkets are super boring. But lots of what was shown is not originally Russian but from all different neighboring countries and cuisines. It’s just for the last 1000 years Russians adopted so much from all over the world. Missing it…

Добрый Cola is actually same cola produced same factories and same Coca-Cola company, but they change brand to not make angry "western" society
In fact, not everything is so simple, when Coca-Cola left the Russian market, the factories that they left did not represent the same value, since the most important ingredient, cola syrup, was no longer supplied. For six months, the Dobry Cola company has been developing a recipe that is as similar in taste to the original as possible, of course, the taste is still different, but in my opinion, even for the better now. I have the opportunity to buy imported Coca Cola or Russian Dobry Cola, I prefer Dobry, the price is almost the same, but I like the taste more. Other brands like chernogolovka, classic cola, etc... are terribly by my opinions concerning cola taste.

She speaks well but with a strong American accent and uses English words in her sentences, mixes two languages. The Russian kids were very cruel to her in school because of her language barrier and her super friendly personality. They found it weird. One Armenian kid threw stones at her when he found out she was an American. They fought a lot: a 10 year old boy with a 7 year old girl!!!! I told her to fight back, but we got tired of all this, we had to pack and leave. We are in Los Angeles now and she is a straight A student here. The only good part she remembers about Russia is food. She hated schools, kids, grumpy old people on streets and buses. She doesn’t want to go back. Bad memories.

Now is a different time, but having a huge supply of food at home in different shapes and ways of storage really saves lives.

Sea buckthorn berry flavoured things are also quite common in Finland. We also have those un-flavoured circle-shaped cracker things here. Halva originates from Iran, but it's common in many middle eastern countries, Greece, India, and Dijibouti. You can find vegan "caviar" in the US. Mangos and avocados and such are often stored in the cold, or else they get too ripe too fast. Green grapefruit is a thing.

canned meat is not for poor people and it's really tasty.

Kisel is not jelly juice it is juice boiled with a little bit of natural starch, so unlike jelly, it’s vegan.
Kissel is a Russian smoothie that is centuries old.
As a flavor base, local berries are used - cranberries, cherries, currants, etc. and fruits - apples, pears, etc. That is, what grows in Russia. But you can make kissel from the exotic.
American smoothies are thickened with either a banana or oatmeal - Russian jelly is thickened with starch (potato or corn). In both cases, thickening occurs with starch, but bananas do not grow in Russia.
Because of the thickener, the American smoothie is opaque. Russian kissel is always transparent (but colored because of the berries).
A smoothie requires a chopping mechanism (mixer, blender) - Russian kissel is made without sophisticated equipment, just a saucepan and a stove (fire).
It's hot in America, so smoothies are made cold. It is cold in Russia, so kissel is usually served hot or warm (it is not so tasty cold).
By changing the amount of starch, Russian kissel can be very liquid or thicker. This allows you to use it both for drinking and as a gravy for pancakes, cheesecakes or other dishes.
The calorie content of kissel is from 75 to 350 kilocalories per 100 gr. It has an enveloping effect, protecting the mucous membrane of the digestive organs, it is included in the menu for people with problems of the gastrointestinal tract.
Like smoothies, the liquid base can be either water or milk.
It should be noted that oats and banana can cause unpleasant toilet consequences. Starch does not cause such effects.

Also, literally only one brand of farmers cheese ( I think it’s called friendship). Very small package yet expensive. Cottage cheese isn’t the same as farmers.
The lifeway Kefir is absolutely low quality compared to the regular Russian ones, even their full fat organic versions don't compare to the real thing, imo
As a food technologist: GOST is a set of regulations that ALL products must comply, but some manufacturers print it on the bottle as a POI.
HACCP is also quite common nowadays
I have been in USA on work & travel program and met couple of russians. For last three years Im trying to visit Saint Petersburg and see her again. 😀
Liver Pate in a Tube is great. I am from Switzerland and here we have about 10 different kinds of it
Love it, adore it, just keep doing it😁
Lo amo, lo adoro, solo sigue haciéndolo 😁
7:15 Russia has a law prohibiting the drinking of alcoholic beverages in public places, in other words, on the street. And people often want to drink alcohol, for example in the park or by the water. You can hide a bottle of beer in a paper bag or something else so that the police do not fine you. Therefore, some manufacturers produce bottles of beer already in a paper bag, as an advantage. Usually such a small paper bag is difficult to find and is sold in stores very rarely.
In Russia, the paper on a bottle of beer plays more of a brand role, with our police you will not be able to enter into a legal controversy "do they have the right to detain you if you drink alcohol in paper." If you argue, you will be detained harshly, you will spend half a day in the police station, harshly, and you will receive a fine. I think it's right. But, anyway, it happens that people drink in public places at their own risk.
My experience (2014-2020) was if you weren't drinking a big bottle and didn't act like a pizdets, nobody cared. The worst that ever happened to me was the police saw me drinking vodka in public and asked nicely for some. We talked for a few minute and passed the bottle around, before they returned it to me empty, explaining it makes them sad to see young men drinking on the street when there are nice drinks like kvas, tarhun, kompot, and mors. I told him that was a good idea, to which the sergeant of those police said it was more than just a good idea, it was the law. I was very embarassed and of course said prosti menya ya ne budut povtorit. This was 2015 in Moscow.

Году в 2014, я с друзьями пил пиво на детской площадке. Выглядели мы как истинные гопники, у меня даже было худи адидас с полосками😅, и мимо проходящие менты тоже только сказали не пить на площадке и все. Мы сказали хорошо, сейчас уйдем и ушли. Для моралфагов: Время было достаточно позднее, дети уже были дома
It was very interesting to see your perspective on russian products. I enjoyed it, thank you.
But you made so many factical mistakes About so many products :)
Almost About every product :D
He’s foreign! I think he did a good job. Considering he hasn’t been in Russia for long.
We have two main standards for products: one is called ГОСТ - государственный стандарт (state standard) and ТУ - технические условия (specifications) with the latter having a reputation being easier to comply with, so ГОСТ (pronounced like host but with g instead of h) has a bit better reputation since the standard itself and the abbreviature come from soviet times beloved by many people idk why.
Bottles of beer are often put in bags so people could drink them in public places, I guess. Or maybe it’s easier to preserve beer in non transparent packaging.
Сейчас он выпьет этот стопарик и медведя на кассе увидит))))
Great video! Cool to see it from an American’s perspective.
But he seems to know a lot about Russian Food too!
Saying tula is a town where they only make cookies is funny
Please do more videos from Russia ♥️
Азамат! А тебе зачем, помечтать как побомбите и захватите нашу инфраструктуру ресурсную готовенькую, и наши магазины разграбите? Свое стройте и развивайте. Ах да, америя не привыкшая работать!
@@АлексаСиненко-ц5н да я согласен оккупанты должны остаться в Украинской земле. Я просто попросил его побольше снять видео из России. Я там не живу уже давно пойми правильно.
@@Svobobaне вините только простых Русских, которые против этого всего.
Украинской земли не существует. Так называемые ,,украинцы" живут на русской земле, которую им подарили коммунисты. Сейчас украинские нацисты оккупируют русскую территорию. Будут ликвидированы,земли освобождены
@@alexbayer2365 Мы все за это все, угандошим всех нациков!!!
Coca-Cola that is actually kind cola in a fanta bottle, great.
20:00 I love seaweed salads with mayo, crabsticks, garlic, onion and maybe something crunchy like fresh peppers inside 😋 You just have to find right one
Oh he should have covered the Peroshki there are so many amazing ones like Cabbage or mushroom and meat and also there are sweet ones like apple cherry huckleberry and sometimes black currant 😋
This culture is so rich in comparison to the country im in
Ниче не понимают иностранцы. Иногда хочется жареной картошки с лучком и тушёнкой поесть)
Какого года видео? Рассказывают про гопников и семечки - вы серьёзно? Такое чувство что автор застрял в 90х. Тушенка для бедных?- а не чего, что банка в 300гр стоит дороже чем 1кг свежего мяса.
Его девушка ему так рассказала.
@@alext7500 если так, то можно посочувствовать, что нашел "бестолковку")
@@ЕкатеринаРябцева-у8м девушка типичный зумер поклоняющийся западу, что еще ждать
Согласен на 100 процентов.
Это не 90е, а хард-бас культура 00х и 10х в России. У нас она очень нишевая, но в Европе почему-то стрельнула в свое время, и теперь к водке, медведю и балалайке прибавилась романтизированная версия гопников. Посмотрите клип Alan Aztec -This Is Russia, если хотите проникнуться.
Зачем я это смотрю, если просто могу прийти в магазин и посмотреть вживую
You guys can make Tushonka yourself. Take glass jar. Put beef inside and species you like. You may also ad paprika, onions, garlic, potato, salt , pepper, bay leaf. Put jar into boiling water so that water cover most of the jar and boil it 2-3 hours. You can put on some cap on the jar so that water did not get inside while boiling. And you get Tushenka. You can safe it for month if you close jar with cap right after you take it out. But put cap in the boiling water so no bacteria get in the jar. So, you can eat it later.
Нет😂 нужен автоклав , при высоком давлении убиваются все бактерии и тогда ей не отравишься 😅
21:53 - it´s an Oroblanco, sort of a hybrid between a pomelo and a grapefruit. Regular grapefruits can be definitely found in stores too.
Gremlin Vodka !?!
Juice with the consistency of snot ??!?!
Fermented horse milk ?!
Okay, I'm sold, great for when I'm ready to off myself 😂
Totally onboard with the pickled stuff though!
5:45 A week? More likely a day or two. Those jars contents are never last for longer. Especially the birch juice.
don't you have a refrigerator?
Sure. But it doesn't matter. I just couldn't get enough of the stuff from the jar XD
