sorry about the typo on the tea poll - should of course read bread, not bred, as their upbringing is irrelevant!

I guess I'd be considered a faux-Russian.  I like a few of these things, but more "Americanized". Like my vodka needs to be in a mixed drink- like a white Russian is the way I like it best.

mmm, vodka and cranberry certainly is good! I put the orange juice one in as it's so popular in the west, but more traditional in Russia is to take the vodka neat, with gherkins or other snacks to nibble in between. Skyhaven, cabbage pies sound dubious but they are so nice! It's sliced and salted cabbage, fried with onion etc, and made into little pasties or one big pie with yeast dough. Here's a recipe;

Herring under beetroot is my favorite one! It is called more preciesly "Herring under coat" where salted (or marinated) herring is underneath and multi-layred coat above consisting of grated potato, onion, eggs, carott, beetroot and everything covered with mayoneese - delicsious!!! If you tried it once you can't resist it ever.

That looks gorgeous! I never had this when I lived in Russia, as I didn't eat fish at the time, but have since started. Think I might try making this one for New Year, if I can find the right sort of herring in Britain

Sounds great!  Still you would have to put something salty and spicy under the coat.

Although the word Russian appears in the drink...is a White Russian considered a Russian drink (origin from Russia). I never thought so.

A White Russian is not a russian drink, you're quite right. In fact, cocktails of any sort are not traditional way to take spirits, although liqeurs are reasonable trad. The name is a reference to the civil war which raged after the Revolution, in which those supporting the Tsar were named White Russians.

It is quite fitting though, that an expensive drink be named after the side containing most of the capitalists and landed gentry, don't you think?
