With the improvement of people's living standards, everyone's requirements for food have also become higher.

Food from all over the world, especially Japanese and Korean food, are very popular in China.

But at a time when Japanese and Korean food is booming, why is Russian food so criticized in China?

The first characteristic of Russian food is "acidity".

Russians like to pickle everything, especially pickled cucumbers and sour persimmons, which are essential on their daily tables.

But such pickles are too sour for Chinese people.

The second eating habit of Russians is "salty".

For example, Russia’s traditional smoked salted fish—dried fish such as mackerel and salmon—is salty and difficult for most people to eat, but Russians regard it as a good dish to accompany wine.

One of the characteristics of Russian food is its fishy taste.

Caviar is a specialty that Russians are proud of. Put a spoonful of caviar on crackers or small bread and it is a great snack.

But this kind of fishy food has low acceptance among Chinese people.

Another characteristic of Russian food is "raw and cold".

In addition to foods such as salads and cold soups, there is also the famous dish "Salou": it is a large raw fat meat that is marinated and frozen, and then sliced ??when eating.

Who can handle this kind of dark cuisine?

Another point is that Russia’s staple food is “big leba”.

Authentic Russian-style black bread baked after fermentation has a slightly sour and salty taste, crispy outer shell and chewy inside.

But it is far from our country’s dessert bread and does not suit the taste of most people.

In addition, there are some Russian “cuisine” that many Chinese people cannot accept: strong fennel spices, sour cream, cherry-filled dumplings, etc.

It is these foods that have caused Russian food to be criticized in China, and it has even been criticized to the point of being "completely damaged".

Due to geographical and historical reasons, Japanese and Korean food are more in line with Chinese tastes.

On the other hand, Asians are more accustomed to food from similar regions. After all, China is relatively similar to Japan and South Korea, and many Japanese and Korean foods are handed down from ancient China. Of course, they prefer Japanese and Korean foods.
