What's your favorite Russian food? What's the most popular food in your region, if there is any? (and which region).

There are too many to list. Some of my favourite Russian dishes are:
pelmeni (small boiled pasties with meat filling)
vareniki (they are similar to pelmeni, but the filling is different: it can be potato, cabbage, fruit etc.)
blini (pancakes)
solyanka soup (it usually contain various sorts of meat. My favourite one. Yummy)
Mimosa salad
Talking of the food of our region (Rostov), I'd mention beer and boiled crayfishes.
I'll write you more by e-mail Smile

Oh, I've forgot to mention olivier salad. That's one of my favourite too.

That white sauce was probably smetana (sour cream)

Yeah.. though It wasn't pure sour cream, cause I had them with just sour cream too... but It definatley had alot of it in it.
Yumm yumm!

Thank you all for your interesting replies! I really enjoyed reading them. I've googled the names of the food you mentioned, checked the ingredients and seen pictures. They look so delicious!! Hungry I already know that I like most of them Very happy I'm also very curious about smetana, it seems so popular!

Btw, you must be wondering why I suddenly show up as male. I've been so harassed by annoying guys, that I've decided to change the icon in my profile to male. I know this has nothing to do with this topic. I just felt I owed an explanation to the readers of this topic who saw me as female when I started it (crazy situation!) Very happy

Watch out with smetana. I like it, but not in the amounts that Russians use it. A lot of non-Russians don't like it.

I'm curious about it because it seems so popular. But I'm not sure I would like it. I guess it depends on how sour it is.
