Are there actually any good food recipes from Russia, other than Borscht?

This is the best I can come up with and even then it looks disgusting. Are the Slavs incapable of cooking?

No, of course not. Communism killed most Slavic cooking, including things they were best at, like caviar. Today caviar from Western Europe is far superior to whatever's left of the Russian/Iranian Caspian Sea.

On top of that Poland, Hungary, Serbia and Slovakia further destroyed their culture in favour of technocratic/corrupt policies. Best examples are Tokaji wine, paprika and Mangalica pig. Once jewels to the crown of Hungary, now made better everywhere else. Hollowed out, whored out, and now no longer Hungarian. There are regions who do succeed: Slovenia, Croatia, Czechia and Romania all have booming gastronomical scenes.

I see people just talk about shit but no one mention a real recepie or name of a plate, well ahve a list of my favorites.
Try Chebureki(like russian beef patty), Olivier salad (nothing beats my mother or babushka Olivier), Golubtsy(meat and rice dumpling), Syrniki(cheese pancakes), Tèlnoye (fish dumplings)

>Borscht
Isn't that from Ukraine originally and spread elsewhere from there?

Yeah it's on the UNESCO list as ukrainian food. But i'm sure there are many different variations in russia depending on region.

I dare anyone to try Chicken Julienne and not like it.

Soleyanka and a Korean Carrots (actually Russian) and Salmon Caviar on Toast Points are great too!

>Chebureki
Now while I'm not entirely sure about >>20412707 I can say with complete certainty that chebureki are from Ukraine.
As for golubtsy, syrniki and tel'noye, I'm from Italy and we have variants of all those, too so I can't be sure of their provenance. I do believe Olivier is OG Russian, tho. And that "herring in a fur coat" thing is, too, I think.

Fair enough. I made a cookalong here years ago of one of the Hungarian versions, which is far simpler than anything I've had from Slavic households.
Despite the simplicity, I prefer ceklaleves to borscht, likely due to familiarity.

>Korean Carrots (actually Russian)
True-ish! And fucking delicious, too. I say ish because it's from the Soviet period and, as implied by the use of coriander, originated in one of the former Soviet states, forgot which. Good af all the same. I actually make Korean Korean carrots from time to time. Like... with actual Korean ingredients and flavours, as a muchim dish.

Stroganoff is great, and rather sophisticated in that the balance between the wine, mustard, and creme fraeiche is extremely fine.

The salad is called korean style carrots retard

Looks pretty nice, looks like there are latvian and other versions of it but seems hard to find recipes in english. I'm swedish so i do love my beets.

I'm russian Italian and yeah cheburieki Is like our Crescione or the golubtsy I think are originally Romanian but at home we make these kinds of food(not always we cook sometimes Italian sometimes russian) but didn't know cheburieki was Ukrainian, my mother and babushka always said that they always do it when they lived in USSR, i didn't mention other food that i don't like especially the recipes with beets.

Not only that, the "booming" gastronomical scenes are nothing but a shitty imitation of the scenes in other cities, where it's all just endless reinvention and remixing of the 5 dishes these countries know how to make. Just face it, these countries don't have good food, not like that's the end of the world.

Chicken Kiev and Beef Stroganoff.

>USSR
See, that's the problem. With Russia being the core state of the Soviet Union, there a huge "all roads lead to Rome" effect going on IE Russia has adopted things from everywhere else so it becomes difficult to figure out what dishes are specifically Russian in origin. However, due to its West Turkic name, cheburek is easy to figure out as Ukrainian since the Crimean Tatars are the only West Turkic population in former Soviet land.

One of my best friends from uni is Lithuanian who made their version of borscht for me once. It's vegetarian, like ceklaleves, but served cold with sour cream in it. It's pretty good.
>I'm swedish so i do love my beets.
My cousin never mentioned. I have a cousin and his Dutch-Indonesian wife who live in Malmö.

Good God, is that prison food. I've never seen more foul looking dumplings in my entire life. What did they do to them?

Pickled beets, boiled beets, roasted beets or beet salad and meatball sandwiches are all really good.
>Malmö
Yeah i guess that might explain it because that's basically not even sweden

They said the same thing. They both speak Danish (hers is better than his) and English (his is better than hers) and get by there without speaking much Swedish at all. Also
>meatball sandwiches
>with beetroot
Huh. Never considered using beetroot on a sandwich but now this gives me other ideas. I mentioned making Korean carrot salad as a muchim earlier ITT but I bet beetroot muchim would be good, too.
