On the way to Tver, we stopped at a fish shop and bought a smoked fish.
My girlfriend bought a huge smoked silver carp, but they didn't give her any tableware and napkins.
In Tver, we had dinner at one of the three KFC restaurants. There are young people everywhere. They just wandered there, where the food was too expensive for them. We are the oldest people there. I like that girl's Dalmatian fur hat!
At the four-star Governor hotel in Tver, we decided to taste chicken with fish, sunflower seeds, English gin with Russian tonic, and fruit juice from Vkusville (Russian name for trader Joe).
I am like a Gollum in The Lord of the Rings eating silver carp on the floor of a hotel room. This fish is great!
The next morning, we saw a Syrian cafe. "Salad sandwich. "Humus" wrote on it. Yeah, real Middle Eastern food, I think!
I like the furnishings inside: there is a hookah pipe, a saber and a headscarf on the wall.
The shopkeeper's wife (from Damascus) brought us coffee brewed in hot sand.
I ordered a plate of hummus. Unfortunately, most of the Arabic I know is swearing. But I said "shookran" and "aiwa"
On the way back, we stopped at the roadside and bought a 3-liter jar of cranberries and a small jar of pickled boletus.
For dinner, we ate Syrian rice, Babuska mushrooms and cranberries, smoked silver carp and some English gin residue. This is a pleasant trip! I dare say that the most popular Russian street snack is Pirozhki. Just a few years ago, they could eat pancakes comfortably in the street, and for centuries, Piroziji cakes have been a part of street food culture. It's a bun baked or fried with various fillings (meat, potatoes, eggs, mushrooms, jam, fruit). Of course, you should choose a local street snack chain or cafe to buy it.
Caucasian street snacks are also very popular all over the country. Shawarma/Kebabs, Chiburekki, Khachapuri and others mentioned here. If you like meat, cheese and other nutritious foods rich in fat, then all these are very delicious. Ten years ago, there were rumors that eating this food was unsafe because it was unsanitary, but now it is completely safe at least in my place. But you should still prefer to eat in big cafes or chain stores.
Russia is a big country, so the popular street snacks vary from region to region. For example, in Volgograd, they like to eat Kiev chicken in the street, but for other Russians, it sounds crazy because it tastes bad without plates. But I can say that it actually looks easy to eat and delicious. In the southwest of Russia (where I live), in summer, Kvass is sold in every corner. It is very comfortable to drink when it is hot. It tastes like high-quality artificial beer, but it has no bitterness and alcohol.
