Food in Russia

Russia covers nearly twice as much of the earth as that of what next largest country?
Canada


Food in Russia

    A very common main dish is a pelmeni: minced meat (typically beef or pork) or fish filling inside a very thin layer of dough that's poached in water. Other baked or fried alternatives are vareniky, which contains berries, potatoes or cheese curds rather than meat and pirozhki, small dough buns that are filled with fish, meat, cabbage or potato. Some heartier main dishes familiar to many in this country are beef stroganoff (beef mixed with sour cream) and Chicken Kiev (rolled chicken fillet filled with butter).
    Baked piglet, stuffed with cooked kasha, mushrooms and onion and topped with cooked greens or pickled vegetables is a favorite Russian holiday meal. Some festive food also includes roasted goose garnished with baked sour-sweet apples, kasha, stewed cabbage and potatoes. I found it out of the ordinary that desserts often consist of fried cottage cheese, served with sour cream, pancakes topped with butter and jam and cake, which can range from moist to light and fluffy . Why not chocolate cake right?
