Oh wow, Beryl! The syrniki you made look fantastic! And I'm so impressed by the amount of Russian foods you can find in NYC.
ps. Thank you so much for bringing me here :)
💜Niki thank you for sharing with us!!!
спасибо за прекрасный экскурс в нашу кухню)) и отдельно - за родной Питер)
You did an amazing job Niki! :)
Loved your contribution to this video! Very interesting stuff!
I didn't know you adopted the German word Butterbrot into Russian, that's such a nice thing to learn! :)
The greatest thing about NYC is there are so many ethnic stores you can travel the world without ever leaving New York!
I agree but I'd like to tweek that a little: the best thing about New York City is the diversity of people who live and work there.
NYC is unique. In every way.
True I can even find the food of my country I couldn't get back in India , in NYC !!
I think this is why I want to travel to NYC, I love going to ethnic stores. Beryl's videos are just me adding places I'd love to see one day
Except u cant. Going to stores isnt like traveling its still NYC
I love that there's a grocery store for every freaking country in the world in NYC. Where I live there's, at best, an asian food shelf in the supermarket.
That might be an interesting challenge: find the grocery story for a country in NY that's rather unfamiliar to most Americans, i.e. Paraguayan, Kenyan or Uzbek ??
(*´∀｀*) I’m so grateful that I live near Lowell since it has a huge Khmer population. Therefore there’s a lot of Khmer restaurants and grocery stores around here.
hahaha same!
I live in Brazil, so if you go to a major city like São Paulo you'll find a lot of these... but where I live, dang, there's nothing. Asian food is predominant, sushi houses grew very popular here the past years.
@@creativitytoolkit6719 wow, I live in Mato Grosso.. So I totally get what you're saying, in my city it's even hard to find asian stuff in the supermarket!
Beryl - I say this with all my heart you single handedly have made us all connect not only with different countries and culture's but made us see the world to a great extent while we sit at home, and I cannot put in words how much you have opened my mind, heart and soul to the world and made us all feel connected to people and cultures I didn't even think existed and for that on everyone's behalf - THANK YOU.
😭thank you srishti
@@BerylShereshewsky Beryl, congratulations you have managed to take a time where people felt more alone and isolated, using food and culture you have given us all a connection to far off places that many of us know little about.
I wholeheartedly agree!!! I'm so grateful to see other cultures of the world and people living their best lives through food. It's so nice to feel connected to people around the world. I'm in the US, and I was probably oblivious to MOST of what I have now seen on this channel! SO much fun and SO inspiring.
This is what I've loved about your channel from the beginning, Beryl. You bring ALL the cultures/nationalities together during this time of physical separation. It's a very powerful thing to feel like part of this larger community when I'm isolated at home in my small town.
VERY well said!!
I'm russian and you better believe that I screamed when I saw the thumbnail and the title
That was my pinki
Ukrainian here and I got super excited! This stuff is what I grew up on!
"My name is Andong" has several videos on Russian dishes for the ones that are interested in it.
Can only second andong. Great guy!
Andong makes some of the best content on TH-cam imo
Absolutely! Have you seen his Okroshka video? It was so cool to see. I would love to see a Beryl/Andong collab.
I wanted to post this as well! His russian dishes videos are so good :)
@@howiefuzz6894 yes! that is the collab we need since they both have some Russian experience :D
Am I the only one who's in constant awe of how much Beryl knows about cultures around the world? Big ups to her for that and for always respecting people's culture. 🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences Beryl❤️
This is a very superficial demonstration of “knowledge” of a culture.
Nope. Add me to the awe club. I already stopped counting how many times beryl has said “back when I lived in (insert a different country name every time)”. Very impressive
i would like to speak to the developer who made that building by the beach--- a truly missed opportunity. im pretty sure the beach was there when they built it lmao
How do you rent or sell a beach front property without views?
@@traveljunkie59 xD It would have been unfair for the people living in the back, if the front only had windows to the beach. So in the name of communism everyone gets the same.
@@LearnGermanwithMarzipanfrau the idea was that if they had built the same building at a " sideways" angle then everyone would have the same view! As the side would be facing the beach !
@@sandysani6045 Yes, that would have been great. :D But unfortunately the building was too long to fit in sideways.
@@LearnGermanwithMarzipanfrau If half the people can't get a view, NO ONE gets a view. Haha
As a Russian person, I agree with everything Niki showed you and said. It's like he was describing my life in Russia, lol. The pickled tomatoes are my favourite.
The world is amazing... We also eat pickled tomatoes in Syria, although not as commonly as it seems to be in Russia. We use mainly green tomatoes.
It's a dream to visit Russia some day! I am fascinated by how vast and beautiful it is.
I think in New York you can find pickled anything
yeah but one thing caviar and black bread? and pumpernickel/borodinksy at that? when ever I visit family in Russia caviar is always served with white bread and butter never black bread or pumpernickel/borodinksy am i the only Russian to find that odd?
Beryl I can't be your only fan who is so curious about your life. You mentioned "when I lived in Russia" and we know about your Indian husband. Would you consider doing a brief video about where you grew up and have lived, education and work history? How many languages do you speak or understand? Totally love your channel!
Her degree is in Russian Language.
It would be interesting
One of my favorite films of all time is "Moscow does not believe in tears," or "Москва слезам не верит." I believe it actually won an Oscar. An incredible piece of Soviet Cinema.
As a Russian, I would like to give credits for music playlist, because I was really afraid too see some stereotypical sh*t like army songs, but it features really cool young and ambitious artists, which a popular among youngsters.
Beryl, you are unique and thank you for showing respect for our culture! ❤️
Not all of them are russian, though.
My favorite Russian film is called The Irony of Fate - the comedy in the film is built around the soviet era of architecture and is very popular to watch around New Years!
Finally we get to see something from your own origins. Looking forward to your Ramadan video as well. Hope the Muslim members of this community participate wholeheartedly ❤️
Isn't she from Poland?
@@yuvraj7214 oh. I assumed she's Russian.
@@fleetSRT me too lol
@@fleetSRT I think she may have Polish and Russian ancestry, she said in a previous video her last name is Polish, but it's definitely spelled in English the way you would anglicize a Russian last name.
@@nataliamaliga oh. I haven't seen that video. And the reason you mentioned is exactly why I thought she's Russian.
Beryl, you are an excellent creator and presenter. You close the distance between strangers, using food as a common thread to bring us all towards the world community that we desperately need right now. You inspire.
Thank you so much! 🤗🤗🤗
As a Russian-German living in Germany I was so happy about this video. These are the kind of things I grew up with but none of my friends know. Thanks Beryl 🥰
There is so many russians in germany actually, it s just not always easy to spot them (especially younger generations)
@@walvves15 that is true! But someone I managed to befriend not even one Russian 😂
I have never seen any channel like this before. The soul of this channel is not just food, but the human connection we feel with the whole world here.
Glad to find this. Thanks Beryl for starting this❤️
Beryl it is so nice to see such a positive video about Russia. People often have a hard time distinguishing between governments and people and recently it has become quite disheartening to see so much hate online and having negative comments made when people find you're Russian. And so happy to see Niki in your video, two of my favourite creators!) ❤️
So amazing to see how similar Russian food is to Polish food. I would LOVE to see an episode dedicated to Polish dishes ❤️❤️❤️❤️
YESSSSSS I'D LOVE THAT!!!!
That could be fun, my gf is polish sooo
What a great idea! I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Poland so this would great.
There is an amazing polish neighborhood here in NYC
If they go ahead and do that, always try Paczki if it's available in a Polish grocery store.
OMG THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY BERYL!!! I LIVE BY BRIGHTON BEACH!!! All my friends were russian so I grew up eating a lot of russian food. I KNOW THAT GROCERY STORE!!!!! wow this made me so excited hahah
Oh my gosh this was such an informative video..now I know what to get at my local Russian store!!
Now you need to do an African grocery store!
Specific country. Are we talking about North Africa, East Africa, Central Africa, West Africa, Madagascar, Southern Africa?
@@scorpioninpink Yup, there are still hordes of people who think that "Africa" is a country, rather than an enormous continent....
Good idea!
sounds good
@@scorpioninpink This! And even specifying the country, sometimes you get really different food in different regions. I'm from Brazil, and southern food is vastly different than northern, for exemple.
Anyone else feel like such a community/ family on this channel, because I sure do❤️
Aww, yes my sister/brother ❤ We are family now
I am half Ukrainian and half Indian and these items are always in our pentry! I live in New Zealand and although we have Russian grocery store the variety is much smaller. My mum makes Tvorog herself at home. I love Kvas ❤, in Ukraine they use to sell them in a mobile unit....I love it and miss it! The bottle/can doesn't taste the same 🥺
omg I live in Auckland and I am keen to visit a Russian grocery store! I found at Oteha valley Road :) so pumped!
@@clynt7452 I don't know that one...what is it called? I only know the one in Newmarket!
Hello fellow kiwis
*Recommendation for a Soviet Russian movie: anything with Shurik (like ‘Kidnapping Caucasian Style’ Кавказская Пленница)*
I would also recomend Ирония судьбы, или С лёгким паром!
Niki is so sweet
I feel Beryls passion in every video, EVERYTHING about your videos are so beautiful, the visuals, the music, your guests and storytelling is amazing. Love what your doing!
Ballad of a Soldier (1959) film - one of the greatest! Highly recommend!
I really, REALLY appreciate your content, Beryl! You are a breath of fresh air! Also, so so nice to see other folks from all around the world being included in your material! Thanks for making my Monday!
Something I’ve noticed throughout the years is that my favorite artists/creative people all happen to be from Russia. That country is full of the most amazing creativity I’ve ever seen in my life. I really hope to travel there one day.
You should also go to a Brazilian grocery store. Brazilian food is really different from other Latin American countries and I think you would like it. You should also try Brazilian cinema (I'd recommend Central Station, it was nominated to the academy awards for best international film and and for best actress in the 90's)
The interesting thing is the US is that there are a lot of "Latin American" grocery stores that basically throw together products from most of Spanish-speakin Latin America in one store (haven't seen much Brazilian but I think those might be rarer separate stores.) So you have this weird effect of walking into a "Latin Market" and then once you're in you realize what local community is their primary clientele (a lot are very Mexican but one I was in recently was extremely Peruvian).
I lost one of my fur babies at early hours on Sunday,(IST). The place she slept, she sat the most, the entire house feels so silent yet her absence screaming at me, making me hollow, paralyzed unable to do anything. Your videos are so enrapturing thanks for the 10 minutes of escape Beryl.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your loved one. Our fur babies occupy so much space in our hearts that their absence can be nearly unbearable. Praying for peace for you.
@@annbrookens945 Thanks Ann
I lost my fur baby in October, and I know how you feel. I am very sorry for your loss. I am in mourning every day. Take care.
@@LeOhio817 Thanks and hope you are doing well.
I can say with full confidence that "Ivan Vasilievich Back to the Future" was one of the funniest movies my friend Artyom shared with me! He and his family moved to the US when he was young, but he's been trying to share childhood movies with us because quarantines made us all miss being little kids. Also USSR movies are absolutely wild to watch, so much happens in such a short time! Couldn't recommend that eras comedies more! Can't wait to see what others think of it!
Slujebniy roman (Служебный роман) and S lekhkim parom / ironia sudbi (Ирония судьбы) are a must from the Russian soviet movie era ♥️
As a third culture kid these videos are EVERYTHING. Thank you, grazie, спасибо, მადლობა Beryl ✨
Not only is the video beautifully put together but the playlist and the artist are fantastic as well. Thank you for opening these windows for your viewers!
It's so fun to see 2 of my TH-cam friends together! I've followed Niki since he was in Thailand in early 2020. I'm going to St. Petersburg next year, so I'll look for some of these foods. I have a great Soviet movie on DVD, Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears. It won the Best Foreign Movie Academy Award in 1980.
"Moscow doesn't believe in tears" is another soviet era classic
LOVED this! As a homebound disabled person, it's so fun to tag along with you to do your shopping! Such a treat! ❤♿ and***Special request***😬Bug Recipes! 🐛🐌🪱🦗
We see ppl on YT gag trying packaged insects, but never in an actual recipe. They are delicacies in some parts of the world. So how about a bug episode? 🤩😁
My Russian film recommendation is: We will live till Monday / Доживём до понедельника. I have seen this film several times and love it more each time. I would also recommend Русалочка from 1968, it’s really good and is based on the original story. Loved this video quite a lot, I’m glad you are sharing Russian culture to people who might not know much about Russia, much love Yasha! 💖
It's so amazing to me to see how much similarity is in foods, even in countries that are considered to be neighbors/related in languages. I'm Polish, and so much of the food shown in the video is pretty much what I grew up eating in my Polish household in NYC and when I'd visit family in Poland. I'm loving the Slavic food representation!!!
Yeah! Because I feel food is cultural and like local thing , goes beyond actual border but connect people who are close together geographicly. I mean many Polish, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Slovak, but Lithuanian People too eat same kind off foods, but even within those countries there are regions where people cook a bit differently. Also there was one video where a girl compared Polish and German eating and the similarities are uncanny. You know I think maybe nowadays our food culture is going in a different direction but I think that Europe has been through a lot as a continent and some things Thorne it apart but some also joined everyone together and a lot of European countries stand by dairy products , meats (especially cold-cuts ), bread and pickled food.
i always think of my lecturer in uni whenever i think of russia-- he lived there for a couple of years and he wouldnt stop talking about in our class. we even had a study group to their embassy once. would live to visit russia someday!
My two favourite Russian movies are
1) Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears, which won an academy award. It's a bit of a heavy movie though
2) Office Romance, which is a really sweet, light-hearted romantic comedy
Very often people making videos about Russian food forget to mention that some of the popular foods there are not actually Russian. Thank you for mentioning that Adjika is Georgian!🇬🇪 Love your videos❤️
How hungry you made this ole Russian girl living in an area with no Russian market any longer. I was so happy and nostalgic seeing the deli counter. Beryl, I think you made me drool hahaha.
Another Russian film I'd recommend is "Moscow doesn't believe in tears". It won Foreign Language Film Oscar in 1981. It's considered to be a classic.
didnt think i would be interested in watching this but your storytelling, video editing and overall personality made me watch the whole thing! im OBSESSED with your content!
Why are you so wholesome!? I can't, I just can't!
Grocery stores are a passion of mine and I recently started learning Russian and my friend told me to come to Brighton Beach! I love this. Recently I watched Battleship Potemkin/ Броненосец «Потёмкин» which is from 1925 and is really an exquisite piece of history and a movie-musical-comedy called « Стиляги » / Hipsters(lol). It was lively.
First time so early
Love how you respect all the cultures
Love from India 🇮🇳
Thank you Beryl! It was so fun to see something so familiar on your channel
As someone who loves cooking I’m so addicted go your channel Beryl ❤️ love how you introduce food from all around the world.
i spent my college years in Russia, so thank you for bringing back those food memories!
My favourite Russian movie is "Kidnapping, Caucasian Style" (кавказская пленница ) a ussr comedy about an anthropology student who travels to Crimea and gets roped into a kidnapping affair thinking he is just learning about crimean traditions!
Russian cinema: "Russian Ark" by Aleksandr Sokurov, "The Barber of Siberia" and "Oblomov" by Nikita Mikhalkov, "Kin-Dza-Dza!" by Georgiy Daneliya, "First on the Moon" by Aleksey Fedorchenko, "Hard to be a God" by Aleksey German, "The Diamond Arm" by Leonid Gaidai, "Tale of Tales" and "Hedgehog in the Fog" by Yuri Norstein. Maybe a bunch of recommendations a bit too much mainstream that leave behind the unsung?
"Hedgehog in the Fog" by Yuri Norstein gets me every time. The shortest sweetest piece of animation ever. Speaks to my Slavic heart
Loved this video! I’m Israeli Russian and we also have Russian supermarkets like that here in Israel. I really recommend The Irony of Fate, it’s a really great movie! It’s a real classic and usually is broadcasted on New Year’s Eve. ❤️❤️❤️
I lived in Russia for 3 months and my favorite standout ingredient was Russian mustard. I'm not sure what they do but its 100x better than any mustard I've had anywhere else in the world. It's super sharp and pungent and just soooo good.
The packaging of Russian products is amazing
Yes especially the chocolates and cheesecakes.
wow, i’m really amazed by what a broad variety of foods your today’s guest provided. given he’s russian, i’m even more surprised he named many goods that i myself would buy when casually shopping groceries. sirniki is actually one of my absolute favorites to have for breakfast, they’re quite cheap to make, and i personally like them more cheesy (if it’s correct to say so in case we’re talking about cottage cheese) rather than bready and fluffy.
what for the sweets, i’m not a real fan of any cliché russian chocolate treats, but what i do like are soviet themed soy bars of a brand called ‘rot front’ or соевые батончики in russian.
AND OMG IVAN VASILIEVYTCH ON THE LIST! one of the very few russian new year movies that i can rewatch million times and every time it’d feel like it’s first time watching it! i’d add ‘Любовь и голуби’ и ‘Служебный роман’, they both create the same magical vibe whenever they’re on air!
great investigation as always, beryl! lot of luv from russia, can’t wait for a new video to come 🤍💙❤️
Maybe would have never gotten the opportunity to know about all these unique things, if not for @Beryl!!😍 Thank you ❤
I LOVE international grocery store videos!! Epicurious has a fabulous playlist that I rewatch constantly, but they no longer make new videos to add to it - thank you for coming to my rescue with these vids!
Beryl!!! This is literally my hobby. I google international speciality stores like Korean and Chinese stores or grocery. I take a vacation leave and travel and gosh dang I love shopping.
I just love this. This was just so interesting! I love visiting supermarkets when I travel and this is like that, just like that. Russia has so many wonderful foods!
I read The Gentleman in Moscow last year and the Russian dishes that were mentioned that had me craving everything. Black rye bread was mentioned a lot of times.
For Russian cinema I definitely recommend морозко! It's a beautiful but kinda funny story and I've watched it every Christmas since I was a child.
"Life of boris" fans already knew all of this, even if we are not russian. So happy you made syrniki.
Where was the mayonnaise in this video is what I want to know!
@@camillastacey4674 you mean the MAYONEZ?
Ahhhh, so glad someone else brought up Boris. When Niki said 'kompot' my brain automatically started hearing it back in Boris' voice.
i laugh way too hard watching his videos. Comedy genius
I follow Niki on TikTok and Boris on here. I feel like they are absolute polar opposites of Russian content creators, but I love them both equally!
I live in kyrgyzstan, former part of USSR, and seeing u trying all the food we once tried in the first year we lived here, is awesome😍😍
Was just about to go sleep but then saw this video and clicked on it so fast! Love all your videos Beryl! U r just pure wholesomeness!!!
I had the opportunity to travel to Russia 2 years in a row once for 3 weeks and the 2nd time 2 weeks. What an adventure! I love the Russian people with their hospitality and open hearts and the culture and the food ... was interesting-lol I did try pickle soup and had fired fish from a boat on the Volga. This brought back great memories and Niki was delightful!
Spasiba!
I love this and really appreciate how you integrate art, cinema, and culture into your food discussion. A great video and now I want to make these pancakes! Looks so good.
I absolutely love Eastern European food! I basically lived on kvass, smetana, borshch, solyanka and dumplings (varenyky, pielmeni) during my few months through Ukraine, Poland and the Baltics. Can't wait to go back!
I love mini cheese cakes/cheese curd snacks! When I was younger I loved the Philadelphia Cream Cheese "cheese cake bars" you could buy in US supermarkets, but they discontinued them. Then in my 20s I got to visit Lithuania and bought a cheese curd snack in a store and they were almost a better version of those cheesecake bars I missed so much!
Béryl thank you so much for this beautiful coverage of Russian food it really made me homesick 💗💗💗💗
The amazing Russian tiktoker on Beryl's channel! Awesome!
Wow, this video was really eye opening! I never knew anything about Russian food, until today and it seems I'm missing out on so much. But its never too late, and I actually know a shop nearby that sells the sweet butter. Well, time to give it a try with some black rye bread.
This channel is the best way to get a crash course on cultures that I didn't even know I'd want to learn about. Thank you Beryl!
Dude, you put a LOT of work into your videos. I'm very impressed. Good job. Don't be too hard on yourself. :)
Greetings from a venezuelan living in Brasil 😁. Thank you for the amazing content.
Have a safe and blessed week ahead everyone✨
Sending❤
Back at ya❣
Same to you ☺️💫
@@samim6809 Thank you 🥰
@@foreveryactionthereisacons1683 Thank you ❤✨
I love this video’s concept! I wish we have Russian grocery stores here. I also would love to watch different movies from different cultures ♥️
I would absolutely love for you to do this with more grocery stores like Korean, Jamaican, etc.
I struggle with foreign foods because I'm gluten free but the heavy focus on dairy is making me think that Russian food may actually be accessible to me.
I feel you
well, a lot of our food is not gluten-free at all (sadly, bcs i need to exclude almost all gluten from my meals), but for the past 3-4 years gluten-free food and cafes became more accessible in big Russian cities. Never thought we are so focused on dairy, but after watching US youtube I realized that yep, we are. A lot of national dished contain dairy.
You can eat Rye Bread its gluten free also much healthier.
@@monikakved5438 Rye bread is not gluten-free.
Look for Russian recipes that use buckwheat (flour or groats). Blinis are DELICIOUS -- plain or with just a spot of your choice of sour cream, melted butter, syrup, jam, Nutella, berries or sliced fruit, caviar, clotted cream, peanut butter, et cetera. And, of course, there's belly-filling, soul-filling borscht! The trick with borscht is that if there are chunks of meat in it, it is possible that they were dusted with flour before browning. So if you are celiac or highly gluten-sensitive, you have to either stick with vegetarian borscht if you buy from a store or restaurant, or make your own.
Oh wow! In Denmark we actually also have dark rye bread with herring for easter lunches and wash it down with snaps (a very strong alcoholic drink). I didn’t know Russia had a similar dish, fun to see the similarities
Kvas is VERY different. VERY different. There is sweet one, there is more malty one. its not like "coke" where every coke has a similar taste. You can have 2 Kvas and the only theme they share is: they're liquid, they have sugar (but different amounts of it), they taste malty (and here same, some more and some less). But heck, the rest, is so much difference possible in the rest. i had kvas that used honey as sugar and it tasted completly different.
Ginger cookies!!! Oh my they're awesome! I like the ones with a bit of plum inside, but the just glazed ones are fabulous, too.
There's a Polish-British-Norwegian film called Peter and the Wolf. I highly recommend it!
Everyone in the US seems to shy away from fermented foods but actually fermented foods are good for you. They contain enzymes and acids and other useful ingredients we normally don't get from highly processed foods.
Beryl big thumbs up on the video!
That is not true. A lot of American loves cheese, beer and chocolate. These are fermented foods.
Also, diets high in fermented foods are also linked to esophageal cancers in higher risk populations.
The amount of research and passion that goes into each video is incredible! I always learn so much!
Thank you, Beryl. The world needs more people like you. 👍🤗🌻
Yes! Klass! This video is perfection. I've been obsessed with Russian/Ukrainian pop music for almost 10 years. Sovietwave is a great genre of music - I'd recommend "Na Zare" by Alliance and "I Got Love" by Miyagi, which is more rap/hip hop. Nyusha and Vera Brezhneva are also fun. Very well done!
yaaaaay, a Russian-themed video!
btw, that Russian music playlist is dope, and you put one of my all-time favourite bands in there!
P.S. Correct me if I'm wrong, dear Belochka, but did I just witness you having a caviar sandwich, syrniki with sour cream, kvas and ryazhenka all in one meal and finishing it with a shot of vodka? I hope your stomach felt okay after that.
P.P.S. Speaking of Russian movies, I'd recommend starting from movies made by Gaiday (the director of "Ivan Vasilievich..."), Ryazanov or Daneliya. If you want something more modern, try anything by "Kvartet I" ("Election Day", "Radio Day", and my personal favourite, "What Men Talk about") or Stilyagi (translated into English as "Hipsters", though it has nothing to do with 2010s subculture, but is actually a 1950s-themed musical). Most of the movies that I mentioned are on youtube with English subs. And if you're more into serious movies, try Tarkovsky or Sokurov. And if you have kids, you could watch Russian cartoons or Soviet fairy tales.
Pelosi : This is russian disinformation message
I love, love, love the movie Девчата!
It is so funny and heardwarming. And they eat and cook interesting Things. Its Black and white, but soooo cute. You all need to see this very old but good movie.
Nice name fatty
I have never been to Russia, but remember getting those chocolates when I was in Poland many years ago. Such a good memory! My grandma was born in Poland, and the cuisine she raised me on is fairly similar-sounding to Russian. I wish I had learned more of it, though my city has a fair amount of Polish delis to choose from. Love this video!
Makes me happy that eastern European food is getting recognition! As a Ukrainian, this is all the same food I grew up with. Its an extremely underrated cuisine!
Some of my favorite Russian language films:
Carnival Night (1956) super classic
alyosha popovich i tugarin zmey. it's a kid's animated movie but I still laugh every time I watch it
I am from Georgia 🇬🇪 and trust me Adjika (Georgian hot sauce) 🌶 is one of the best thing in the world
Love the stuff. I live in Belarus, and the best kind is made by the babushkas in the farmers markets. 😁
Yesss it was so good i had never had it

Fantastic video! I'm Polish and many of the foods are the same or similar. Watching this made me feel nostalgic and hungry! 😋💕
Love that you're doing this! So helpful to know what things are, what to buy. Great idea!
I actually live near a Ukrainian/Russian Market! There’s a big Eastern European population in my area and this does hit home thank you so much for highlighting Russian food! 💕
I graduated from University in Ukraine and I miss Kvas so much 😢😭💔
Have you tried making your own?
love your channel so so much Beryl! With covid and the travel restrictions, I feel like I am still traveling, exploring new foods and cultures through your videos
Yay Beryl! I’ve been having a rough few weeks and watching your videos brings me to a better place. Thank you.
