Chinese people are most familiar with the "potatoes roast beef". The famous caviar is also not to be missed. Caviar is Russia's top food, and its degree of honor even surpasses that of abalone in Chinese food. There are two types of caviar: red caviar and black caviar, black from sturgeon and red from salmon. The more precious is black caviar. If abalone is the gold of gastronomy, caviar is the jade of gastronomy. In order to avoid high-temperature cooking affecting the quality, caviar is usually eaten raw. In particular, caviar should not be served with strong-smelling condiments. Mimosa Salad: This mimosa salad is not actually made of mimosas, but of rice, tuna, peppers, onions, and a layer of special dressing and cheese. Moscow Grilled Fish: Moscow Grilled Fish is simply different from Russian Grilled Fish, and in Moscow restaurants it is authentic Moscow Grilled Fish. Moscow fish is made from sea bass, which is first fried, then topped with roasted mushrooms, eggs, onions, and finally covered with a white creamy sauce and sprinkled with some cheese. The ordinary Russian grilled fish needs to be put into some tomato sauce fried in butter, which is mixed with the milk sauce and gives it a pink color. Russians usually have ham sandwiches or cheese sandwiches for breakfast, with tea, coffee or milk, although some families prefer fried eggs and pancakes in the morning. Lunch is much richer, and usually consists of three courses, the first of which is preceded by cold cuts, coleslaw, salads - salted fish, sausages, mouthfuls of strips, etc. The first course after the cold cuts is a soup, and the second course is a fish or meat dish. The third course, though said to be a dish, is usually just tea or coffee, juice, some cakes and snacks. According to Russian custom, the above three dishes not only can't be reversed in order, but also can't be used indiscriminately. The majority of Russian men and some women like to drink strong liquors, and vodka is loved by most of them. Vodka is the favorite of most people. Wine has a certain market among women and some men. Beer is the favorite drink of both men and women. Caviar is a Russian specialty.
