Every nation has its own weekend pastime: Viennese go to concerts, Washingtonians go to church, and Russians go for picnics. The pastime of picnicking on the grass was brought by the French. Although the climate in Russia is not suitable for this (the grass is cool), Americans are particularly fond of barbecue, but it has not spread to Russia. After all, the United States is too far away. Russians learned the Turkish barbecue method from Asians, that is, smoking raw meat with coal outdoors.

Barbecue restaurants have already entered the daily life of Russians, and some pubs also roast meat pieces for drinkers under the name of "barbecue restaurants", and sprinkle parsley and sweet onions. Full-time barbecuers are generally middle-aged men in Transcaucasia. They put the ends of kebabs on the edge of a charcoal stove and bake them with charcoal fire in the middle.

Russians cut the tenderloin into pieces the day before the picnic, and soak it in vinegar juice with peppers and onions all night (experts and gourmets generally choose lemon juice), which can appropriately extend the soaking time according to their personal tastes. In the morning, if the meat turns white, it means that it is well soaked. They put the soaked meat in a convenient pot, take children, dogs, some snacks and wine, and then drive to the Woods. Of course, they won't forget to bring onions. The location has long been set, and I have been here before. The traces of the fire are still there, and the two rows of bricks are placed as before. Children naturally run around and play; The lady began to spread the table cloth and put pickles, slices of bread and wine glasses; The dog circled around the small pot; The man is making a fire.

To say that this barbecue custom originated in Turkey has other influences on Russians, that is, women are not allowed to order important food. Have you ever seen Asian women cooking pilaf and baking? Therefore, women are not allowed to cook barbecues or even wear kebabs in Russia.

Barbecue is not just roasted meat, it has become a buzzword: when answering the question of how to take a vacation, there is another thing besides barbecue cakes-going to barbecue in the wild. Barbecue, of course, should stay away from the sight of police and firefighters. Barbecue has become a national activity in Russia, which has been accepted and spread by all social strata, ethnic groups and sects. The smoke of barbecue pervades the sky, and the fragrance attracts many families; The vagrants in the street barbecue with stolen cats, while the officials barbecue with specially ordered mutton. Not only workers, professors, students and retirees enjoy this delicious food, but also atheists and Orthodox Christians. Simply put, if we want to find a unified national symbol of Russia, it should be barbecue. Taking barbecue as a national symbol can eliminate all kinds of differences in Russian society and usher in an era of mutual understanding.
