Russians, like other ethnic groups, have their own eating habits and characteristics. To sum up, there are two main points: the first is eating meat, and the second is eating sugar, and they both eat too much. A meal without meat is not called rice, and tea without sugar is not called tea.

What kind of dishes, rice, and soups do ordinary Russians have for lunch or dinner? A light meal, even the simplest one, only has three dishes. The first course is soup, usually red cabbage soup or cabbage soup. After the soup, there must be a hot dish with meat. The hot dish includes fish and meat. Fish is usually dry-fried, and meat includes beef, mutton, steak, etc. Meatballs, usually paired with fried potato chips or mashed potatoes; the last dish is sweets, including desserts, sweet fruit tea, coffee, etc. No matter how luxurious a restaurant is, these three dishes are not served, but each dish has a richer variety and more variations. Plus, staple bread is included with every meal.

Russian people have the habit of eating a lot of meat and drinking milk. Meat is usually eaten at lunch and dinner, and dairy products are mainly eaten for breakfast, including milk, yogurt, cheese, milk residue, sour cream, and butter. After the main meal, there are often desserts, including desserts, cakes, ice cream and fruits. Judging from the Russian diet structure, there are enough calories and protein every day, and the nutritional value is quite high. Therefore, children are healthy and mature early during their development period. Russian girls are known as beauties in the world, with blonde hair, blue eyes, fair skin and a delicate figure. This only refers to the girl's period. Once most fair ladies get married, their graceful figures gradually become "blessed". If you don't restrict your diet and engage in bodybuilding exercises in time, you will be out of control once you gain weight. This phenomenon cannot but be attributed to excessive consumption of milk, sugar and meat.

Why do Russians have the habit of drinking excessive amounts of high-calorie foods? This is determined by the climate. In the severe cold winter, only high-calorie foods can resist the wind and cold and maintain the body's normal needs. On the contrary, low-calorie foods are not enough to maintain the body's needs. It can be seen from this that the eating habits of various ethnic groups have their own reasons.

In addition to the regular three meals a day, Russians also have the habit of eating extra meals at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., which is also called tea time. It is said that the habit was originally formed because there were many people working in the open air in the past. If they were not given appropriate meals, it would be difficult to maintain normal work at low temperatures. Although people's working environment has greatly improved now, most people's working environment is excellent. Even if the sky is covered with snow outside the window and the cold is biting, the indoors is still as warm as spring. However, the tradition of extra meals continues.

Normally, Russians have a simple diet, and their lunch on weekdays is often a "sandwich" with tea or coffee. When entertaining guests, it is also more casual and not polite. It is only during the holidays that we are willing to make elaborate preparations.
