Russian Food

• Russia is mainly a northern country with long-lasting cold winter. The food should give the Russians much energy and warmth to survive during the winter time. So, the essential components of Russian cuisine are the ones, which provide more carbohydrates and fat rather than proteins. Fresh fruits and vegetables are rarely used in the food that they cook. So, the top five components of a Russian meal are potatoes, bread, eggs, meat (especially beef) and butter. Other popular foods include cabbage, milk, sour cream, curds, mushrooms, lard, cucumbers, tomatoes, apples, berries, honey, sugar, salt, garlic, and onions.

Conclusion• I think Russia is very important in many ways

because of how the world evolved and where many of our meats are imported from.

• The Soviet Union was very important to Russia.• I would like to go to Russia and I would

recommend going if you could!! I hope that you liked my presentation!
