===Food is one of the most important parts of any culture. Indeed, one of your most interesting experiences living abroad will be learning about the culture through their cuisine. To prepare you for this experience, Mrs. Sulkey, a gastronomically gifted Talbot, will introduce you to your country’s cuisine. To get ready for Mrs. Sulkey, please research the following topics. Answer these questions with complete sentences and upload to the Wiki when you are finished.---M.H.===

1. What foods are commonly eaten?

 * **Pirozhki,** These pastries are packed full of potatoes, meat, cabbage, or cheese.
 * **Ikra,** Caviar is often served on dark, crusty bread
 * Russian kebabs are called **shashlyk**. Like any kebab, they can be a combination of meat and vegetables.
 * **Pelmeni** are pastry dumplings filled typically with meatballs. They can be served alone, topped with sour cream, or in a soup broth.
 * You can expect to find sour cream, or **smetana**, accompanying almost any Russian traditional food—even dessert!
 * Ice cream, called **morozhenoe,** It is common to find it on many restaurant menus with a variety of topping to choose from—like fruit, nuts, or chocolate.

2. What does a typical breakfast consist of? Lunch? Dinner? At what times are these meals eaten?
Breakfast- Many Russians simply eat bread and coffee or tea

Lunch- It is the largest meal of the day and they eat many of the foods mentioned above.

Dinner- Combination of many of the same foods.

Borshch and Pirozhki ( described above )

5. What is your personal opinion of this country’s food? What looks appetizing? What looks repulsive? How do you think you are going to do eating this food every day?
Pirozhki, Shashlyk, and Morozhenoe sound very good. Borshch, Pelmeni, and Ikra don't sound very good. I wouldn't like to eat this food every day.
