My knowledge about American cuisine is based mainly on Rex Stout's novels, so I'll be very grateful if you'll find a spare time and write a post about it:) As for my favorite russian dish... Well, the top place in the chart is occupied by "perogi", as an earlier commentator called it:) Stuffed with boiled eggs and onion/cabbage, or meat, or mashed potatoes, or... You name it:) Several words on posted photos. #1 - a popular "cranberry"-sort joke about Russian customs: to get drunk at a New Year's eve and fall asleep in a can with olivier salad:) Also, though mayo is a canonical dressing, you can use a sour cream instead, or mix a sour cream with mayo. #7 - generally "blini" are much thinner and larger in diameter. Yes, you can eat it as they are, or stuff it with whatever you like, from meat to fruit jam #9 - the comment above in which this horror was called "nyamka" hits the bulleye. It's not meal at all:) #10 - it looks like a fake:) Never seen THAT even in 90's, and in that time you could find in a tins almost everything, even accidentally cooked cockroaches :)
