Tasty Post-war Food

When I was asked to do a food shoot for Russian delicacies that will be featured on a local magazine, I said to myself: "What do these magnificent Russians eat?" I always associate Russia with the soaring Kremlin that is constantly guarded by different Soviet soldiers, but other than that, Russia for me is a complete enigma.

This relentless query in my head was finally answered on that splendid day of the food shoot. My friend who booked me for this project welcomed me to the airport and brought me to the fantastic 1 Red Square which is lying within the State Historical Museum in Moscow. My good-natured friend explained to me that what I am about to shoot is the ordinary Russian meal that most people ate during the post-war era. I first observed that soups are viewed as hot or cold, which I find quite unusual. However, what I found really mouthwatering is the enthralling Katlyeti which literally means "cutlets". This enthralling Katlyeti pretty much resembles a tasty Salisbury steak which pretty much aroused my appetite. Another incomparable aspect of Russian cuisine is its drinks that come in varying forms. One particular drink that almost knocked the lights out of me is the stavlenniy myod, a very concentrated alcoholic beverage that is made up of immense amounts of honey, berry juice, and vodka. Because of this marvelous experience, this certainly is one of the most outstanding food shoots that I've ever done.
