Never seen a Slav cuisine thread. Tell me, what did grandma used to cook for you?

Yes, the Balkans count.

[Anonymous No.15011451]

Balkan food is so underrated. Serbia in general was a total positive surprise. They absolutely thrash the USA on making burgers. Duff Burger in Belgrade blew my mind with their 1lb beef burger with cheese and fried chicken in the middle.

Western food feels very artificial, I don't know what the difference is. In Germany vegetables literally taste like plastic, I don't know what they do to meat but it doesn't take in spices very well and it's just bland. Food just tastes better in the Balkans, no idea why. We do also have higher rates of stomach cancer so who knows, maybe it's a trade-off.

I've never been exposed to Slav cooking until I found Boris on Youtube. I tried some of the recipes and realized that Russia is very bland.

I also realized that I fucking love it at the same time. As long as I doctor it up with spices at home, that is. I have a little Russian grocery store in my neighborhood with overpriced imported things and I like to walk through and look at all the weird shit on the shelves.

Boris always talks about "Doctor Sausage" and it's basically just Bologna, of which they have several kinds available. Halva is also incredibly delicious. It's like peanut butter.

Everyone that says that Russia has unappetising food should read some of the classic russian literature like Dostoevsky and Tolstoy and have their mouth water over the descriptions of food.
Me I am from Greece which is not Slavic but shares a lot of dishes and techniques with Balkan Slav cooking like emphasis on simple grilled meats and vegetables, more herbs less spices, vegetable and cheese pastes, very similar ingredients etc. Greeks from the Black Sea have a lot of classic Russian foods like borscht and pirozhki

"Winter" borsch, "Summer" borsch, pyrahi, vareniki, lamb shashliki. There was also a potato soup that I knew of as "zatirka" but I have never been able to find a similar recipe on the internet. It was basically a thick soup with 'dumplings' that were basically spaetzle; the entire ingredient list was butter, onion, salt, pepper, potato, flour, egg, and water.

Both of my grandmas were russian but those are the only particularly slav foods they ever made that I can think of.

Sure, for us it's obvious and while Balkans are slav speakers their diet is very much mediteranean, while the majority of slavs usually eat norhern stuff heavy in meat, buckwheat, fish and local vegetables.

Feta is hardly actually slavic, if we're autistic, which might paradox some mutts.

Oh and tw, you people really fucking dissapoint me. Slav thread without Buckwheat? Ai, babcia didn't beat you people enought with the carpet beater.

All the fillings. Some are big, cake-sized (pirog), some are smaller, around the size of the palm (pirozhok).

>shanga

I don't like soups in general, but if you're into it, borsch, solyanka and schi are worth looking into. Okroshka is a good summer soup - basically salad with sour cream and unsweetened kvass.

Using rendered pork fat in it makes it even more delicious.

That's only a probelm of hipster zapiekanki. Traditionally you put everything on it and melted the cheese on top, which holds everything together. That way you have more taste, rather than filler. But retard sellars want to make them look nicer, just like shitty bought pizza, and put the salami and what on onto the cheese, making it all useless.

Make your own.

The stomach cancer is from your constant binge drinking and the fact that people still smoke indoors constantly.
Also I think you just have better soil than most places which gives your produce better flavor. In the US our issue is we harvest everything way before it’s ripe so it can survive being shipped around the country, packaged, sit on the store shelves for days, then sit on someone’s counter for a week before they decide to finally use them.

This looks good, but google translate is pretty fucky. I cook for a living so I can probably make it if I know the ingredients.

[Anonymous No.15017155]

>>15017063
desu I just grabbed a random aesthetically appealing picture from google images, but the recipe on the site is:

150 grams dried apples and pears (or just apples)
100 g smoked prunes śliwki
10 dried mushrooms (boletes)
300 g smoked bacon (uncooked)
2 duck legs
600 g boar ham
350 g beef (goulash cut)
300 g hunter's sausage (dry juniper sausage
3 biggish onions, diced
5-6 garlic cloves, diced
1 glass of dry red wine
2 kg sauerkraut, not too sour (you can rinse it if you feel it'll be too sour)
½ litre broth (beef or chicken)
przyprawy: 10 grains of juniper, 5 grains allspice, 3 bay leaves


seems like a pretty good recipe, though the stock, apples and 5 different types of meat might not be neccessary (prunes, boletes and red wine is the patrician choice though, so they probably know what's up)
remember to let it stew for several hours (you can do it intermittently), making good bigos takes time but it can be a really delicious, intense and surprisingly complex dish

We have something similar on germany, called "poor knights" (Arme Ritter). Stale bread soaked in spiced beaten eggs and fried. I usually add some cheese and salami onto them, makes them delicious, but jam is also really nice if you only spice it with salt, cinnamon and similar spices.

I didn't know slavs ate solid food. Whenever someone talks about Russian food I feel like they're always talking about soup. I figured that's why slavs squat that way, so when the diarrhea comes they're already in position not to get it everywhere.

I watched a video how to make them...and /sigh, a lot of work. I haven't made them. But I loved that they were different in every restaurant in Czech. I loved them! Sometimes they had some leftover rye pieces mixed in with the dough.

Which is bone and cartillage. If you add meat you will be left with a broth _with_ gelatine. For deserts and clear gelatine you only use bones and cartilage, skimming off every protein foam which might still get extracted.

Czechs make the best damn soups in the world, I love eating there. Bramboracka (potato soup) zelnacka (sauerkraut soup) and cesnecka (garlic soup). Their other food is good as well I love the pickled sausages (utopinec) and pickled hermelin (brie like cheese).

Poland here
Soups:
>Barszcz (same as borscht or whatever way you spell it)
>Żurek/zalewajka (sourdough soup)
>Kwaśnica/kapuśniak (sauerkraut)
>Rosół (meat and veggies broth, srved usually with noodles, meat used for cooking and carrots)
>Grochówka (pea soup)
>Fasolka po bretońsku (spicy tomato-paprika soup with large white beans)
>Mushroom soup

In other stuff i'd recommend looking into belarussian/lithuanian/eastern poland region for inspirations. They have some wonderful dishes like babka ziemniaczana, kołduny litewskie, cepeliny, while the rest of the country isn't very unique. Please stay away from any christmas recipes, as they are usually rather bland. If you want to try something slavic and tasty - make your own kosher dills (ferment small cucumbers with garlic, horseradish, dill and generous amount of salt) or sauerkraut, try incorporating groat/kasha as a side dish (or make a risotto-style dish, it's very fashionable here) and try to buy polish mountain cheeses.

Eastern Pole here. Pretty good recomendations. If any of you Westerners will ever wander beyond Vistula, into mythical land of "Podlasie" (this is how we sell it to German tourists), I encourage you to also try kartacze (pic related), czeniaki (lithuanian mix of meat and vegetables, served in a pot) and sękacz, sometimes called bankuchen, sort of a giant, sweet, dry "pie", hard to describe, as well as mrowisko, another local dessert. I will post some examples later.
