The three Russian dishes that most "maddened" Chinese were actually Chinese couldn't understand why they did it. I think those who go to Russia to travel, work and study must have a deep understanding, just went to Russia to eat unaccustomed, looking for Chinese restaurants everywhere, or with hot pot base, old dry mother, spicy noodles and other Chinese food. But then again, if you go to Russia, you must try Russian food.
As the fierce fighting people in the north, Russia spans the Eurasian continent and has a vast territory of more than a hundred ethnic groups. In terms of diet, it advocates French cuisine, and at the same time absorbs the characteristics of Italian, Austrian, Hungarian and other national cuisines, combined with local eating habits, and gradually forms its own style.
Let's take a look at the three Russian dishes that make Chinese "crazy" the most.
1. Борщ Red beet soup
Of course, borscht, it is almost a coat of arms of Russian cuisine among the Chinese. This is the only dish to which they dare to add sour cream - a completely alien product to them.
Red beet soup, in the eyes of Chinese it is almost a symbol of Russian cuisine. It's the only dish where they add sour cream – a product that is completely foreign to them.
In China, there is no analogue of borsch and in general - soup, in the understanding of a European.
When it comes to getting to know Europeans, there are no soup dishes in China that resemble red beet soup.
Therefore, a thick meat broth with beets causes special feelings in them. Maybe patriotic, because it is so similar to the Chinese flag..?
Therefore, a thick broth with beets will produce a special feeling. Maybe it's patriotic because it looks very much like the Chinese flag..?
The Chinese themselves call borscht junthan or hongcaithan, which literally translates as red or red vegetable soup, respectively.

2.Шарлотка. Apple stuffed scones
Or simply, apple pie. For us it is an ordinary dessert, for the Chinese - a delicacy. The secret must be that in Chinese culture, sweet pie is something unreal. Personally, in my opinion, they do not know how to make sweets and do not know how to eat.
Or to put it simply – apple strudel scones. For us it was a normal dessert, for Chinese - it was a delicacy. The secret is that in Chinese culture, sweet pie - this does not exist. Personally, in my opinion, they don't know how to make sweets and they don't know how to eat them.
3. Плов Pilaf
Traditionally - an oriental dish. But to my surprise - for the Chinese it is completely incomprehensible.
Traditionally - this is an oriental dish. But to my surprise - for Chinese, this is completely incomprehensible.
The secret is that it is not customary for them to mix rice with spices and meat. Rice is a side dish, which is served separately, absolutely bland. Therefore, pilaf causes them mixed feelings of curiosity and distrust until they try it.
The secret is that they don't mix rice, spices and meat together. The rice is a side dish, served alone and absolutely light. As a result, they develop feelings of curiosity and distrust before they try pilaf.
After that - prepare the second portion! The Chinese are beginning to feel a certain culinary kinship with this rice dish.
After that - prepare the second course! Chinese don't think any country cooks rice like this.
Look at the netizens' evaluation of these three dishes, this netizen mentioned that the red cabbage soup is transmitted from Ukraine, the apple stuffed scone is transmitted from Germany, the pilaf is imported from the East, and combined with their eating habits, it has become a specialty they like to eat. Let's take a look at what other Russian delicacies are worth trying.

Russian sour cucumber
After eating the greasy food on the top, you have to get some sour cucumbers to get greasy. Russian pickles are unique, in addition to being used as an appetizer, like sour cucumbers can also be used as accessories, but also can be made into other delicacies.
When I went to Russia to study at that time, I went to the canteen to eat, saw a dessert similar to a chocolate sandwich cake, so I bought a piece, and the result was a bite down, it was a pork liver sandwich cake, when my mentality collapsed, I took a bite, and the rest was thrown away.
