Now that I am back in Berlin (and already missing Moscow and the nice friends I made there), I want to give to you a last post about my trip, which is mainly about the russian cuisine. I got the chance to get to know a lot of traditional meals and specialities and drinking habits inbetween extended walks, museums and parties…
On my last evening we had a dinner with some stinky pickles (young garlic, garlic sprouts, salted cucumbers) from the market, you have to eat them with a shot of Vodka in your hand…then drink…
with than we had a great salad with fresh estragon, tasty tomatoes, pine nuts and a lemon-honey-dressing and bulgur with peppers, eggplant and cinnamon and a spicy tomato-coriander-sauce (Ajika ) we bought at the market!
This was such a food feast! As dessert we had Churchkhela, a speciality made of walnuts and dried fruits/jam, mjam!
I also had an amazing traditional breakfast last saturday with Syrniki, little cakes made of curd cheese, eggs and flour, served with sour cream and honey from the Ural mountains:
Apart from that I tried all kinds of russian soups…Borschtsch:
Okroschka, a cold russian summer soup, made of kefir, eggs, potatoes, radish and ham:
Sorrel soup:
On sunday we had an extended walk through Gorky Park, along the Moskwa to the watchout point at Lomonossow university where you can see all over Moscow and after over 4 hours of walking, we enjoyed a dinner in a cheap-but-good russian self service restaurant at Kijewski woksal , called MuMu (bad word in german 
)
Borschtsch, herring salad, beetroot salad, pearl barley and salmon:
