Any Russian food lovers?

[So Sick of the Hobos]

I'm Ukrainian and I know a lot of the food is similar. I wish I had a place to go in which I could try actual Russian food, where I live in Canada there's a Ukrainian deli/store and a German deli not far from my grandparents house. Russian would be awesome though.

Agreed, I wish more Russian food could be found abroad. Still, a Ukranian deli/store is better than nothing, and more than exists where I live. XD
Are there any Russian dishes in particular you'd like to have/try?

To be perfectly honest, I want to try the difference between my babas borscht and true Russian borscht. I can't eat much food now a days until I learn what's safe and what's not. (Found out I'm gluten intolerant)

Ah, I see. Yes, being gluten-intolerant would definitely give a need to be more cautious.
It's pretty sad, but I have never tried borscht of any type. I had my chance once, when I lived in San Francisco where they actually had a small Russian bakery/restaurant. But I never tried it. My hope is to be able to make a legitimate recipe - my brother bought me a Russian cookbook for Christmas that I am excited to try out.

I made a wicked borscht, was taught from my baba. It's really yummy, if you like beets. My boyfriend hates them unfortunately

I tried beets only once, I recall - I had made a beet soup, but I'm sure it wasn't much like borscht. Either way I plan on trying it, whether I hunt down a restaurant that serves it legitimate or have to make it myself. =o

It's super healthy and definitely well worth making on your own smile
