So in the past couple days, I have had some pretty interesting stuff to eat. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures, because how awkward is that?? "Lemme just take some pictures of the food you just made me real quick, then I'll eat"
Pumpkin Soup- Entering the kitchen and seeing a pot of slightly orange goop would concern me in America, but this is Russia, and who knows what to expect? Anyway, I initially thought it'd be something like cheesy mash or something because it was kinda the consistency of Russian mashed potatoes (think soupy instant potatoes). I tried it and it was definitely not, and I couldn't pinpoint the taste. It was completely foreign, or so I thought. My babushka and host sister just kept saying тыква тыква тыква, and I had no idea what that was. Finally my host sister spits out 'Halloween'. Problem solved.
Eel- "Do you want sosiski or cutlety?" "Well, I haven't had cutlety yet, so Why not??" One bite, tasted like fish, REALLY fatty, thoroughly confused. "Like a fish and a snake"--And that's how I learned the word for Eel - угорь and according to google translate, also 'blackhead'. Lovely
Vat Jelly- Pretty self explanatory. There is a 2 gallon bucket on the kitchen floor filled with cranberry pulp/juice and sugar. It's thick, like grainy syrup. It's in my morning kasha and on a cheese sandwich a couple times a week. It's tasty. It'll probably give me botulism or an amazing case of the squirts.
Pop- The last two weeks have been busy in terms of impulsive beverage purchasing. Исинди, Лукошко, Барбарис, Саяны.
If anyone knows what this is, or anything about it, let me know. I have no idea.
Taste- Kinda like how the Seward Coop smells mixed with an herbal medicine shop. And just like it takes a couple trips to the Seward coop to get used to the hairy women and pretentious cereals, It takes a couple sips to appreciate the taste. I'd get it again.
With BERRIES AND GRASS (or something along those lines. This one was interesting. It tasted like berries but it was also somewhat medicinal. Probably the grass.
This was disgusting. It was sweet, but it just tasted off. I have no idea what it was. It was partially carbonated and super syrupy. It's probably the first drink I've had here that I didn't like.
Berberry flavor. It was good. Your basic fruit soda. Yum
I'm having plain greek yogurt for breakfast/lunch and Millie know it and she wants some too. i'llshare later, but she's had two breakfasts already roday and not had her pills yet. your dad is at a lunch meeting and said he'd be home late, hpe it's not 5 this afternoon. i reall kuje that Fayo yogurt better, this is from dillons. but the other stufff is too expensive at dillons. i think i heard your dad's bike.
