The infamous well-known Russian dish – potatoes with herring! This dish along with borcht, oliv’e and maybe herring beet salad are the staples of Russian cuisine. I bet if there would be a survey sent out to our Russian friends out there – for many this dish would rank in their most loved meals. I mean time passes by, we get older, move to different countries, try so many amazing cuisines…but still would choose to eat this dish anytime simply because we Russians still love it!:)

I don't know, maybe it's because I'm a picky eater admittedly, but that looks awful. Even the potatoes in the OP look like shit, which is kind of hard to do. I think my 7 year old might be able to present a hot dog and mac and cheese in a more appealing manner then this. No offense to people that enjoy this food, the photo is more or less what I'm addressing and it just looks bad.

That's why you need to have a bottle of vodka first.

You got to realize way up North Russia isn't a bastion of fine spices and herbs. Their cuisine for the common folks is very Simple. Even in our Society much of variety of foods and our huge pallet of culinary seasonings and spices was developed in the last Century. America was basically meat and potatoes seasoned with salt pepper and fatback in everything we cooked and ate. The USSR was isolated while the world was having a great gastric Renaissance in the last century. So boiled potatoes, and pickled herring without any bread even. Most all cultures have a common cultural bread. The Soviets didn't even have that. I'm not telling you this to make you feel sorry for them. Because I don't think they even miss that they missed out and don't give a shit themselves. But so you understand why that dish would be the shit for them.

Forsmak, mmmm.

French Cuisine is a rip off of Northern Italian Cruisine. Before 1600, French Cuisine was boiled and broiled, just like British Cuisine. Insert cabbage, carrots, various pieces of meat and fish, let stew for a few hours, eat with rough bread.

Herring and Potatoes helps you do this:
