Russian food doesn’t exactly top the popularity charts, and that’s really sad because this huge country has so much to offer other than vodka and caviar.
Here is a list of 18 Russian dishes you should definitely try if you find yourself in Moscow.
11. Potato Okroshka
What is it: A cold soup made from buttermilk, potatoes and onions, garnished with dill.
What does it taste like: Surprisingly delicious, given the simplicity of the recipe. The quality of the potatoes and the freshness of the buttermilk is what makes it. Okroshka soup can also be made from other vegetables, though Russian potatoes work best.
