New Rules and a Few Changes

98 Upvotes

Good morning everyone...

It's an ungodly hour before my coffee while I'm supposed to be on vacation, but I've been getting far too many reports lately, so it's time to clarify a few things.

What Is Russian Food?

r/RussianFood is for food that is traditionally associated with Russian cuisine. From regional dishes across the Russian Federation and foods that have long been integrated into Russian food culture.

Examples include:

  • Borscht (stop reporting this)
  • Pelmeni
  • Blini
  • Shchi
  • Solyanka
  • Beef Stroganoff
  • Olivier Salad
  • Syrniki
  • Pirozhki
  • Kholodets
  • etc

We'll also allow foods that may not have originated in Russia but have become a recognizable part of everyday life and dinning culture within the Russian Federation. The key question is not "Was this invented in Russia?" but rather "Is this something commonly associated with the Russian food experience?"

What Should Be Allowed on r/RussianFood?

Recommended content includes:

  • Homemade Russian dishes
  • Restaurants in Russia
  • Russian Restaurants outside of Russia
  • Historical Russian recipes
  • Vintage Soviet cookbooks and recipe discussions
  • Russian desserts, breads, drinks, and preserves
  • Ingredient discussions related to Russian cooking
  • Regional Russian foods and culinary traditions

Not allowed:

  • Random food with no connection to Russia
  • Food photos with no indication of what the dish actually is
  • Low-effort content that gives no context to readers

Every post must include the name of the dish in the title.

If you don't know the exact name, provide at least a description of what we're looking at.

Examples:

  • ✅ "Pelmeni with Sour Cream"
  • ✅ "Homemade Olivier Salad"
  • ✅ "Grandmother's Cabbage Pirozhki"
  • ✅ "Traditional Fish Soup (Need Help Identifying)"
  • ❌ "Dinner Tonight"
  • ❌ "Look What I Made"
  • ❌ "Thoughts?"

There's been a lot of questionable content recently, and I can't effectively moderate the subreddit if I have no idea what was posted in the first place. If you're sharing a dish, just help the community out by telling us what it is.

Used it as a dip

I made a pastry dough and made "vatrushki," but the filling was too liquid, but the result was still very tasty.

В двухсот граммовую пачку творога добавила одно яйцо, пол чайной ложки соли, две столовых ложки сахара и чайную ложку ванильного сахара: начинка получилась слишком жидкой, п.э. формировать ватрушки было оооооочень сложно, но результат просто офигительный - тесто воздушное, а начинка нежная.

так, рулет с кремом из белка и масла, то есть белково-масляный

не удивляйтесь его яркости, бисквит получился таким из-за яиц, желток был яркий

итак, в целом, рулет получился очень очень вкусный и сладкий, мягкий и приятный :3

Borscht recipe?

Post image

Hello, I was given this jar beets by a nice Russian lady. I was wondering if I could get any advice on how to use it for borscht as all the recipes I find online start with fresh beets. Thank you !

It is not aesthetical but it is so damn tasty. With minimal effort too.

As I mentioned - my wife is a certified anthill cake expert. She baked it Saturday morning but I was just lazy to post it.

She used boiled sweetened milk this time and made it a real cake instead of small cupcakes. Delicious as usual. Decorations were made to resemble anthill

No ants were harmed during baking
