You said absolutely nonsense! Fermented dairy products are ALREADY fermented by the bacteria that live in them. And the older the fermented milk product, the less unprocessed milk remains in it. Therefore, combination of the frmented dairy with salted or smoked fish or cucumbers can not affect your digestion in any way. But a FRESH MILK is another thing! It is milk that can provoke an upset stomach with incorrect combinations of products, because then fresh milk begins to actively ferment in your stomach. But ALL the frmented dairy goes perfectly with fish and cucumbers and with anything! Therefore, the sour cream (smetana) is a universal additive (sauce) FOR ANY PRODUCT.
Hi, 12:54 it's manta (МАНТЫ) rays or khinkali(ХИНКАЛИ). Khinkali is boiled in water and manti is steamed. There are also dumplings in Russia. Any such food can be bought at the grocery store. I highly recommend trying these dishes with sour cream.
I came to Moscow from Ireland and it was very difficult to get used to not recycling. Then I found out that the whole thing is a huge ploy, and in fact, more damaging to the environment. That broke my conditioning, so now I proudly chuck everything into one bag in hopes that somewhere out there Greta is sheddin a tear.
Well, there is recycling in Russia, but it's not entirely implemented on federal level, more like a private initiative so far. But, if you care about ecology, you can google if there are recycling options in your district of the city for any specific type of garbage, like batteries for example or plastic.

When you have eaten rough and heavy food and the gut lets you know - kefir quickly normalizes digestion. A glass of kefir for the night is an invariable tradition of Russians for more than one century. Russian fermented milk products are always good for health and have a great variety in Russia. My grandmother drinks whey (transparent liquid accumulating from below of prostokvasha) in the summer heat from PROSTOKVASHA (same fermented milk but different) from the refrigerator. As a result - a healthy stomach that can digest nails ... probably.))))
What a beautiful British accent! It feels like I am back in the UK. Though you are not quite right regarding special attention to cleanliness in Moscow for the reason that it's the capital. I spent nine months in my home city of Krasnodar (1 million population) last year and its impeccably clean - not only central streets but everywhere. They clean it and clean it and clean it again. You don't see too many police but the city is very safe. If there's police on the street it's usually a mixed patrol - a police officer with two Cossacks (as it's a Cossack region). Again, it's very safe, you don't see drunk people (except the area of the railroad station probably). Thanks for you opinion. It's very interesting!
The mysterious stuff, tvarog in the form you presented is nothing else than finely stirred curd/cottage cheese. Try adding vanilla extract to the LOVE mixture and it will become another level of a treat :)
@@katya.fromengland I decided to write my comment on the video as an answer to your comment, because it is more likely that you will read it. :) Like your boyfriend, I also prefer ряженка to кефир, since ряженка has a more creamy and mild taste. If I drink кефир I add a teaspoon of sugar per glass to neutralize its more sour taste. I also agree that cottage cheese is a good food for breakfast, especially with sour cream. And I do put some sugar or honey on top. Although this is convenient at first glance, it is better not to have a rubbish chute in the house. Because of the rubbish chute, there are usually a stench and cockroaches in the entrance. :) The downside of the lack of separate collection of wastes and its subsequent processing is the pollution of the surrounding area. There is much more space in Russia than in Great Britain and for some time this territory can be polluted with waste and rubbish, but this cannot be done indefinitely. It is already difficult to find a place for new rubbish dumps in the Moscow region. They wanted to take the rubbish to other regions (for example, they wanted to make a rubbish dump in the Arkhangelsk region), but local residents are against it. Due to the irresponsible approach to waste disposal, this problem will become very acute in the future. I do not recommend buying cheap dairy products, as they will most likely contain palm oil. :) If you want to buy good meat or some other quality food, it is better to go to shops like Азбука вкуса (av.ru), a chain of premium grocery stores. They are not cheap, but the products there are of very high quality.
Hi Kat! I love your videos. I've been watching them all. I have not yet found "the video" where I learn how and why you are living in Moscow, but I'm sure I will find it in there somewhere. By the way... Kefir is also becoming very popular in America. Like many things in the US, some companies add loads of sugar and fruit to cover up that unmistakable "tang!" But I do love watching a fellow American try unflavored Kefir for the first time. Total "Love it or hate it!" moment. I don't know if you are planning a Patreon of a PayPal tip jar or something. But since I will be visiting Moscow as soon as it is possible to travel there for Americans, I have been loving your videos and would love to support you.
Hi Michael, thanks for your lovely comment. The main reason I moved here from the UK with my boyfriend as he started a masters programme here in September. I'm half Russian (mum) and half American (dad) so I have Russian citizenship so can easily live and work here. Have you ever visited Moscow before? I'm currently in the process of creating a Patreon and it means the world that someone like yourself would consider financially support me:)

Katerina - I would like this video to see Japanese people. I just heard that NO Sour Cream, Cottage Cheese and many Cheeses in Japan !!! Hmm, what they eat in that case ? Beside that same story in China, and East Asia as whole. They did not have herds of Cows and dairy products are kind of rarity . In Russia - it is like Heaven of Milk ! Everything made from milk You can find in Russia, and that it is a Blessing!
a bit of friendly advice as I've noticed u just open things up (sour cream, kefir etc.) and pour it straight into a glass - always shake it before openning
Main difference between ryazhenka and kefir is type of milk, kefir made out of regular milk, ryazhenka made out of baked milk. Btw try baked milk, it’s like caramel milk, delicious stuff.
It's just a completely differently fermented stuff. Kefir is a sort of symbiotic bacteria and fungi while Ryazenka are pure bacterial like Yogurt just different bacteria types.
Did you visit Danilovsky market? You will eat delicious food right there. And the georgian food that you mean is called Khachapuri. By the way, go to the Auchan in Lennisky prospekt, and in the middle there is a guy who sell nuts and seeds, and he sells some georgian food called Churchkhella. It is like a saussage in shape, but is a line of wallnuts covered with condensed juice of plums. It is delicious! But not always. Never buy churchkhella in pocket, it has to be fresh! After two days, it becomes hard and non tasty. And another surprise is Kolomenskaya park, there is a honey market, and i have the theory that is the largest honey market in the world. You will find so many sorts of honey that you would not know where to start.
Actually in Moacow we have recycling bin at the courtyard trash bin areas, platic, glass, metal etc. alltogher but to sort or not to sort is not mandatory. At some places (outside Moscow too) i saw a third bin just for plastic bottles.
What about limited choise of meat. The regular supermarket is wrong place for looking for a meat. A best choise of fresh meat you can found in a markets also there is a huge choise in a big stores like Lenta (Лента), Auchan or "Family Magnet" (Семейный Магнит).

For various meats, the best quality and variety, is to be had is at the farmer’s markets. In fact, the assortment and quality of produce is substantially better better at the farmer’s markets. And as a bonus, you get to practice the ancient sport of haggling. Supermarkets in Moscow are, usually, an emergency goto, if you run out of something.

Heyyy love your videos, you’re doing a great job! I’m from Moscow and meat had never been a problem really if you buy it in the market (Рынок «Rynok») or in butcher shops. Meat there is super fresh and is much better than in other countries (I’ve been living in Canada for 7y). That’s why a lot of dishes are so delicious in Caucasian restaurants in (Georgian cuisine included) in Moscow:)

Those Georgian dumplings, khinkhali, are the best! Eating them is quite an art - the real experts can hold them above their mouths, bite into it, and slurp in the broth inside without a face covered in the liquid. Also recommend sitsivi (I think it's called), which is meat cooked in delicious walnut sauce. Very hungry now!
Люди моего поколения (70-х г.р.) хорошо помнят фразу "А ты ..кефир ...местный пробовал? Была б моя воля - взял бы с собой бутылок ... две. Ящик!" из фильма "Гостья из будущего". Уважаемая хозяйка канала оказалась alter ego киношного космического пирата. :-)
Это да :))) Но нет: почему "Весельчак У" не остановился на "местном кефире", хоть так его полюбил? Потому что, как признался У: "Ты же знаешь, я люблю помучить", - в этом его отличие от всех нас и Катюши также)
@Александр Иванов Ничего особо страшного в пальмовом масле нет (по части позиций оно даже полезнее остальных растительных масел, - а то теперь мало "пальмой" пугать, начали и подсолнечное охаивать); а кроме того, его почти не используют в производстве молочной продукции (почти весь импорт "пальмы" идет в шампунь, некоторая часть - в дешевые конфеты)
@Александр Иванов "Большинство российских производителей кефира не используют при его изготовлении пальмовое масло и другие растительные жиры, следует из отчета Роскачества (организация создана по распоряжению правительства России; документ есть у РБК). В ходе проведенного экспертами исследования 36 марок кефира растительные жиры были найдены только в четырех образцах под торговыми марками Буденновскмолпродукт, Молочные продукты из Дубровки, Народный и Пятигорский".
Успешного тебе развития канала ! С прошедшими тебя праздниками Новым Годом, рождеством и Старым Новым Годом !Здоровья тебе, счастья и удачи в Новом году !

В москве есть сортировка отходов и если вы не дошли до нужных баков во дворе, то способствуете безмерному разрастанию свалок в нашей стране. И если бы по-настоящему задумались об этом, то знали бы ситуацию про Шиес (когда московский мусор решили свозить на болото в Архангельской области и уже начали вырубать под эту свалку лес). Почитайте и задумайтесь о сортировки отходов в России, если вы ее любите - берегите её

Hi! Thank you so much for your support :) My mum is Russian so I have Russian citizenship so I'm not any visa here. When I was living in Italy, the UK was still part of the EU so I didn't need to fill in any forms/get a visa. Which country are you interested in visiting?

I haven't got the clue on issues with meat. What is the difference compared to the UK (especially, when you often visit Perekrё-stock: they have a bunch of different offers for meat eaters normally)?
@@СергейКарташков-э9ъ я много чего перепробовал и мне есть с чем сравнивать, наше мясо очень так себе (если мы говорим про масмаркет). Может быть в Иране говядина и ещё хуже, но наше мясо от этого лучше не становится. Экспорт вообще ни о чём не говорит, если наше мясо дешевле, то его небогатые страны и будут закупать (тем более что у нас потребление мяса КРС упало сильно, т.к. у людей денег нет). Так же, как пальмовое масло мы импортируем в чертову кучу раз больше, чем 30 лет назад - это не значит что продукты с ним вкуснее или полезнее, просто с ним они дешевле. Попробуйте говядину австралийскую или новозеландскую (там коровки в основном не на кормах растут, а на пастбищах) и поймёте, что мираторговская говядина в подмётки не годится той говядине.
@@alexl7559 Вы поинтересуйтесь экспортными направлениями Мираторга - увидите, что там вовсе не "бедные страны". Говядина у нас, к сожалению, может встречаться перемороженная, это сказывается на вкусе. Но тут уж надо смотреть ценники и сопроводительные надписи (обычно глубокая заморозка указывается). Потребление мяса КРС упало? Ну, не знаю. У нас в семье предпочитают (конечно, жена-хозяйка, но я с нею согласен) смесь говядины со свининой. Насчет австралийской говядины - возможно, она и вкусная (не ехать же мне туда по говядину)), но могу сказать, что такая "англосаксонская" еда, как американская, очень даже не ахти. Ел австралийское масло. Неплохое, но не лучше белорусского, по-моему (а теперь уже и нашего, ибо оно стало сопоставимо с белорусским). Но вымороженную говядину действительно встречал, ее не посмакуешь, это да.
The Englishwoman reacts vividly to ordinary everyday products: kefir, cottage cheese, ryazhenka, sour cream! Why don't they have it in London? And the metro in Russia is clean and like a work of art, travel costs a penny. And she got excited about meat, she hadn't been to the meat market yet...in general, leave your Britain, you have not been to other beautiful places of vast Russia yet, half a lifetime is not enough to see at least part of it...
Dried fish schould be served with beer as a snack - that's how it meant to be eaten. No one eats dried fish without beer beacuse it's too rigid and solty.
@@АлександрИльин-д8ч А в описании одного видео написано было и плюс в первом своём видео она вроде говорит, что у нее мама русская.. Ну русские черты лица налицо))
1. Kefir is Arabic drink, the word is Turkish and it was described as Prophet Mohammad first described how to make this drink. (It's not Russian) 2. Ryazhenka is Ukrainian, but since Russians are killing Ukrainians lately they are not spreading that information, to boost sales. 3. Cottage Cheese earliest mention is in Homer's Odyssey, thousands of years ago, that's not Russian in any sense. 4. No recycling - that's a truly Russian invention, good job pointing that out. 5. Georgian food... how do I break it down, it's Georgian, not Russian. There is no Russian food, the Ruski nationality is little over 100 years old, and it is a mix or native Finnish and Hungarian tribes living on the land there, all the food is borrowed from nations living around them.
How much coffein is in these fermented drinks? You are soooo intense girl! Fast speech and loud! But anyways good video! The content is accurate. Especially the room temperature! Russians wear thin clothes inside. Very different! Georgian food is so good! Ginkala and Kachapuri and Kharko (soup) ! Dried fish is a popular beer accompanying snack but in my opinion it is RANK! I love however the dark rye bread garlic infused baked strips (Grenki)
No coffein in these drinks at all, because they are made from milk. But they contain 1% of alcohol (natural, nobody adds it). And it's ok to drink Kefir and drive car😄 P.S.: sorry for my English, I don't use translator

Reggie Yates - Russia documentary … highly recommend. It had always been a childhood dream of mine to visit Russia, unfortunately as you grow up and see things in a much different light, for what they really are, certain dreams fall through. As lovely as it is that you feel so welcome and are treated with so much warmth, let’s be mindful of the fact that Russia as a whole is home to nothing more than pure racism. If I were to visit, there is no doubt I would be treated in a very different way and I don’t mean that in a good way. For reference I’m Indian born and raised in the Uk (London) and although you mention you find Russians a lot more welcoming than “British people”, I would have to kindly disagree with that statement
Москва не Россия. Тем более к иностранцу все равно будут хорошо относится. А вот в маленьких городах очень много грубых людей. Кефир не люблю, мы его в семье никогда не пили. Только для оладий используем. В ряженку нужно добавить сахар. Зима в Москве приятная? Нуууууу... не соглашусь. Лучше уезжать на зиму из России вообще! В теплые страны. Полиция работает отвратительно. Я бы не была на вашем месте расслабленной! В маленьких городах полицейских очень мало, разгул преступности.
No, no, no... don't eat that little fish like that. Peel off the skin, break off the head and rip off its belly with all the guts inside. Then the little strips of meat along its spine and tail are ok to eat... I went like - No!! Stop!! when watching the video
Англичанка живо реагирует на обычные повседневные продукты: кефир, творог, ряженка, сметана! А что у них там в лондонах этого нет? Бедные люди...И метро у нас в России чистое и как произведение искусства, проезд стоит копейки. А насчет мяса она погорячилась, она ещё на мясном рынке не была...В общем бросайте свою британию, вы ещё не были в других прекрасных местах необьятной России, жизни не хватит чтобы увидеть хотя бы часть...
The cottage cheese in the pack is in fact curd. However, real curd is only somewhat crumbly when it is no longer fresh. In other words, this curd may be made out of palm oil. Russian food is mostly rubbish.
смешать творог со сметаной +немного сахара = вкус детства !!!
варенье вместо сахара. малиновое, вишнëвое.
Я тоже за варенье
смешать сметану .... с ПЕЛЬМЕНЯМИ!
А я молоко со сметаной обычно смешиваю.
@@chaymitsu4522 зачем же густую сметану разбавлять молоком ( ну хоть не водой ) :):):) тогда уж лучше вареньем - получится йогурт.
And one more thing. Never! Never try dried or salt fish together with kefir or ryazhenka! It could break all your plans on a rest of the day!))
The same advice for cold drinks and lamb meet :) not good 😊

ryazhenka is made from a melted milk. melted milk is made by keeping it at a hot temperature for a long time, but not boiling.
Ryazhenka taste better because it is lightly smoked🙂also cold Kvas taste way better than western rootbeer that tastes like a cologne :)
@@zeblanmaidaynovich796 Kvas and rootbeer is an absolutely different thing. I wonder, why the rootbeer is missing in Russia. I like it.

Heyyy love your videos, you’re doing a great job! I’m from Moscow and meat had never been a problem really if you buy it in the market (Рынок «Rynok») or in butcher shops. Meat there is super fresh and is much better than in other countries (I’ve been living in Canada for 7y). That’s why a lot of dishes are so delicious in Caucasian restaurants in (Georgian cuisine included) in Moscow:)
>> I’m from Moscow and meat had never been a problem
- What is it? Green, long and smells like a sosage?
- Suburban train (Электричка) from Moscow!
(Joke from 1970-80s)
Вы такая красавица! Спасибо, милая! Было очень неожиданно и интересно услышать об этом! Вам нужно побывать в сельской местности, чтобы попробовать самую-самую натуральную молочную продукцию. Уверена, Вы получили сотни приглашений съездить в гости, в село! Не отказывайтесь! Вы получите незабываемые впечатления! 💐💐💐💖
Kat you remind me so much of Hayley Westenra, the kiwi girl from New Zealand. She lives in the U.K.
I'm sure you have heard about her. Hayley is a great singer, but she like you are so nice, upbeat, positive
beautiful, you two share very similar qualities, could be twins, never get enough of your nicety
Really superb. Very nice. Your voice is cool 😎😎. ☺☺
Niceee! By the #3 I was running to the Kitchen.. For a glass of Milkkk. Yummy 😋
Haha
50 shades of milk
Those Georgian dumplings, khinkhali, are the best! Eating them is quite an art - the real experts can hold them above their mouths, bite into it, and slurp in the broth inside without a face covered in the liquid. Also recommend sitsivi (I think it's called), which is meat cooked in delicious walnut sauce. Very hungry now!
Люди моего поколения (70-х г.р.) хорошо помнят фразу "А ты ..кефир ...местный пробовал? Была б моя воля - взял бы с собой бутылок ... две. Ящик!" из фильма "Гостья из будущего". Уважаемая хозяйка канала оказалась alter ego киношного космического пирата. :-)
Это да :))) Но нет: почему "Весельчак У" не остановился на "местном кефире", хоть так его полюбил? Потому что, как признался У: "Ты же знаешь, я люблю помучить", - в этом его отличие от всех нас и Катюши также)
@Александр Иванов Ничего особо страшного в пальмовом масле нет (по части позиций оно даже полезнее остальных растительных масел, - а то теперь мало "пальмой" пугать, начали и подсолнечное охаивать); а кроме того, его почти не используют в производстве молочной продукции (почти весь импорт "пальмы" идет в шампунь, некоторая часть - в дешевые конфеты)
@Александр Иванов "Большинство российских производителей кефира не используют при его изготовлении пальмовое масло и другие растительные жиры, следует из отчета Роскачества (организация создана по распоряжению правительства России; документ есть у РБК). В ходе проведенного экспертами исследования 36 марок кефира растительные жиры были найдены только в четырех образцах под торговыми марками Буденновскмолпродукт, Молочные продукты из Дубровки, Народный и Пятигорский".
Yeah, Kefir, is delicious and very healthy!
отличное видео!
Спасибо Damian :)
Humidity is the reason why russian winter is bearable.
Здравствуй. Уголок мне помог найти твой канал)))
Симпатичная) Строчит как пулемет)
You can buy almost all of this food in UK in polish and Baltic countries shops, even jabs and birch tree juice
You can buy kefir in Tesco or Sainsbury’s.
ПриветЕкатерина !
Oh, you are half Russian… your mom must be a beautiful woman
Love your videos about Russian food :)))
Успешного тебе развития канала ! С прошедшими тебя праздниками Новым Годом, рождеством и Старым Новым Годом !Здоровья тебе, счастья и удачи в Новом году !
You should eat dry fish with beer. Also if u are in milk products u should try Georgian Matsoni.
1 of 10 surprise for me is Fresh Milk but I need aditional winter time in Russia
Это творог со сливками) Обычный творог, конечно же, сухой)
Dried fish would go nice with a pint of 🍻
Possibly miss Sullivan endorser Sarofanovo..)))
Я за 42 года столько творога не видел, сколько в этом видео )))
Я живу в маленьком городе на Урале. Полицейского можно пару дней не видеть.
"The cottage cheese in the middle" could be actually made out of palm oil )))))
these "young policemen (and policewomen)" you have mentioned are actually Police Academy cadets
Она наверное про росгвордейцев срочников
Smetana is also great for *paprikas!*
Thank you for sharing we want more videos 👍 what is your occupation there? you can teach English
Hi Nicholas, thank you for your comment. I am a full-time English teacher for kids :)
Сегодня случайно наткнулся на твоё видео, смешно рассказываешь о кефире и ряженке, буду смотреть тебя дальше, хоть с английским у меня не очень, на уровне школьной программы, но интуитивно вроде и так все понятно.В данный момент я пытаюсь ппереписываться с девушкой из Нигерии на инглише, но пока это все сводится к привет, пока, спокойной ночи, гуд лак и тому подобное
В москве есть сортировка отходов и если вы не дошли до нужных баков во дворе, то способствуете безмерному разрастанию свалок в нашей стране. И если бы по-настоящему задумались об этом, то знали бы ситуацию про Шиес (когда московский мусор решили свозить на болото в Архангельской области и уже начали вырубать под эту свалку лес). Почитайте и задумайтесь о сортировки отходов в России, если вы ее любите - берегите её
I look at your expression when you speak and find similarities with Hugh Lorry in the TV series "Doctor House". He's British, too. Are you all like this?))) Take it as a compliment! Very lively and beautiful, I like it
Попробуй добавить в зернистый творог черничное! варенье (как очень люблю делать я)) и возможно ты тогда его полюбишь😉
Like just for the Kefir :)
I know half a dozen Russian shops just in North West London alone.
I love your Chanel ! I saw your videos from when you lived in Italy. I was wondering, since I’m English to what visa was you on ?
Hi! Thank you so much for your support :) My mum is Russian so I have Russian citizenship so I'm not any visa here. When I was living in Italy, the UK was still part of the EU so I didn't need to fill in any forms/get a visa. Which country are you interested in visiting?
@@katya.fromengland Spain !! It’s very hard to go there to work, so I’ve decided to study there. I speak fluent Spanish, I wanted to go uni, but I have to sit access exams, which are very hard. So I’ve decided to study grado superior, which is higher vocational trading almost like an apprenticeship in marketing and publicity
I haven't got the clue on issues with meat. What is the difference compared to the UK (especially, when you often visit Perekrё-stock: they have a bunch of different offers for meat eaters normally)?
С мясом вроде все в России нормально.
@@СергейКарташков-э9ъ мясо у нас невкусное. говядина просто ужасная.
@@alexl7559 Вы иранскую не пробовали. У нас норм. Кстати, мясная продукция Мираторга вообще на экспорт идет, нарасхват.
@@СергейКарташков-э9ъ я много чего перепробовал и мне есть с чем сравнивать, наше мясо очень так себе (если мы говорим про масмаркет). Может быть в Иране говядина и ещё хуже, но наше мясо от этого лучше не становится. Экспорт вообще ни о чём не говорит, если наше мясо дешевле, то его небогатые страны и будут закупать (тем более что у нас потребление мяса КРС упало сильно, т.к. у людей денег нет). Так же, как пальмовое масло мы импортируем в чертову кучу раз больше, чем 30 лет назад - это не значит что продукты с ним вкуснее или полезнее, просто с ним они дешевле. Попробуйте говядину австралийскую или новозеландскую (там коровки в основном не на кормах растут, а на пастбищах) и поймёте, что мираторговская говядина в подмётки не годится той говядине.
@@alexl7559 Вы поинтересуйтесь экспортными направлениями Мираторга - увидите, что там вовсе не "бедные страны". Говядина у нас, к сожалению, может встречаться перемороженная, это сказывается на вкусе. Но тут уж надо смотреть ценники и сопроводительные надписи (обычно глубокая заморозка указывается). Потребление мяса КРС упало? Ну, не знаю. У нас в семье предпочитают (конечно, жена-хозяйка, но я с нею согласен) смесь говядины со свининой.
Насчет австралийской говядины - возможно, она и вкусная (не ехать же мне туда по говядину)), но могу сказать, что такая "англосаксонская" еда, как американская, очень даже не ахти. Ел австралийское масло. Неплохое, но не лучше белорусского, по-моему (а теперь уже и нашего, ибо оно стало сопоставимо с белорусским).
Но вымороженную говядину действительно встречал, ее не посмакуешь, это да.
The Englishwoman reacts vividly to ordinary everyday products: kefir, cottage cheese, ryazhenka, sour cream! Why don't they have it in London? And the metro in Russia is clean and like a work of art, travel costs a penny. And she got excited about meat, she hadn't been to the meat market yet...in general, leave your Britain, you have not been to other beautiful places of vast Russia yet, half a lifetime is not enough to see at least part of it...
So, you left ( U.K ).....and become english teacher in RUSSIA ?
Haha yes :)
Police. Definitely a lot of police everywhere. It's good👍
All you need is a cow, )))
What is COTTA cheese? Do you mean Cottage cheese? I'm confused lol
Как ты думаешь.....Кто больше пьёт Чая... Русские или Англичане?????
Smetana has a higher fat percentage than sour cream
Sold fish + kefir = big mistake lol
Gushy Kat.....xx
Сладкое любишь?
Dried fish schould be served with beer as a snack - that's how it meant to be eaten. No one eats dried fish without beer beacuse it's too rigid and solty.
Я люблю её есть просто так.)
Is it possible to meet you in Moscow?
Катя, ты ж наполовину русская, да?)
С чего ты решил?
@@АлександрИльин-д8ч А в описании одного видео написано было и плюс в первом своём видео она вроде говорит, что у нее мама русская.. Ну русские черты лица налицо))
See spb also
1. Kefir is Arabic drink, the word is Turkish and it was described as Prophet Mohammad first described how to make this drink. (It's not Russian)
2. Ryazhenka is Ukrainian, but since Russians are killing Ukrainians lately they are not spreading that information, to boost sales.
3. Cottage Cheese earliest mention is in Homer's Odyssey, thousands of years ago, that's not Russian in any sense.
4. No recycling - that's a truly Russian invention, good job pointing that out.
5. Georgian food... how do I break it down, it's Georgian, not Russian.
There is no Russian food, the Ruski nationality is little over 100 years old, and it is a mix or native Finnish and Hungarian tribes living on the land there, all the food is borrowed from nations living around them.
How beautiful you are))) ... Stay takkoy always))) ..,
Может твои видео помогут мне научиться хотя бы понимать беглую английскую речь
Все удивляют её молочка? Почему? Что вы там едите? Овсянку?
Да, ты Шерлока не смотрел?
How much coffein is in these fermented drinks? You are soooo intense girl! Fast speech and loud! But anyways good video! The content is accurate. Especially the room temperature! Russians wear thin clothes inside. Very different!
Georgian food is so good! Ginkala and Kachapuri and Kharko (soup) !
Dried fish is a popular beer accompanying snack but in my opinion it is RANK! I love however the dark rye bread garlic infused baked strips (Grenki)
No coffein in these drinks at all, because they are made from milk. But they contain 1% of alcohol (natural, nobody adds it). And it's ok to drink Kefir and drive car😄
P.S.: sorry for my English, I don't use translator
Так, а где мама? Русскую Маму тоже надо показать!
У неё не русская мама.
First smetana and second fish. Are you really sure of your stomach?
You said absolutely nonsense! Fermented dairy products are ALREADY fermented by the bacteria that live in them. And the older the fermented milk product, the less unprocessed milk remains in it.
Therefore, combination of the frmented dairy with salted or smoked fish or cucumbers can not affect your digestion in any way.
But a FRESH MILK is another thing! It is milk that can provoke an upset stomach with incorrect combinations of products, because then fresh milk begins to actively ferment in your stomach. But ALL the frmented dairy goes perfectly with fish and cucumbers and with anything! Therefore, the sour cream (smetana) is a universal additive (sauce) FOR ANY PRODUCT.
Did U ever try a solt spicy hering fish preserves ?
Why are you so cruel?
Reggie Yates - Russia documentary … highly recommend. It had always been a childhood dream of mine to visit Russia, unfortunately as you grow up and see things in a much different light, for what they really are, certain dreams fall through. As lovely as it is that you feel so welcome and are treated with so much warmth, let’s be mindful of the fact that Russia as a whole is home to nothing more than pure racism. If I were to visit, there is no doubt I would be treated in a very different way and I don’t mean that in a good way. For reference I’m Indian born and raised in the Uk (London) and although you mention you find Russians a lot more welcoming than “British people”, I would have to kindly disagree with that statement
Wow. Meat in Perekrestok is never good. Brrr... But you'll huk the right shop eventually!
Москва не Россия. Тем более к иностранцу все равно будут хорошо относится. А вот в маленьких городах очень много грубых людей. Кефир не люблю, мы его в семье никогда не пили. Только для оладий используем. В ряженку нужно добавить сахар.
Зима в Москве приятная? Нуууууу... не соглашусь. Лучше уезжать на зиму из России вообще! В теплые страны.
Полиция работает отвратительно. Я бы не была на вашем месте расслабленной! В маленьких городах полицейских очень мало, разгул преступности.
No, no, no... don't eat that little fish like that. Peel off the skin, break off the head and rip off its belly with all the guts inside. Then the little strips of meat along its spine and tail are ok to eat... I went like - No!! Stop!! when watching the video
УЧИСЬ НА РУССКОМ ОБОБЩИТСЯ!!!!
damn girl you really like your cottage cheese
Англичанка живо реагирует на обычные повседневные продукты: кефир, творог, ряженка, сметана! А что у них там в лондонах этого нет? Бедные люди...И метро у нас в России чистое и как произведение искусства, проезд стоит копейки. А насчет мяса она погорячилась, она ещё на мясном рынке не была...В общем бросайте свою британию, вы ещё не были в других прекрасных местах необьятной России, жизни не хватит чтобы увидеть хотя бы часть...
Краснодырые налетели в коменты опять😂 когда скотостан от ютуба отрубают? Дата известна?
Russian > English
Хлядачи вна мисце та слухають уважно
Moscow is not very clean in comparison to other cities, I must say...
The cottage cheese in the pack is in fact curd. However, real curd is only somewhat crumbly when it is no longer fresh. In other words, this curd may be made out of palm oil. Russian food is mostly rubbish.
