My menu might seem to some of you very odd. Well, cultural difference. I like to eat my national food (contains a lot of fat!). I found a few receipts on the web. Warning: some receipts may offend you!!!
http://www.russianfoods.com/recipes/item001B9/default.asphttp://www.russianfoods.com/recipes/item001C0/default.asphttp://russia-in-us.com/Cuisine/Dadiani/asia.htmDuring military training we often ate Russian “Soldatskaia kasha”. Fry potatoes (not deep-fry) and later add stewed beef and onion. The closest in taste to the Russian stewed beef is the canned beef from France, but, unfortunately, not precise. When we travel for fishing or hunting to Kazahstan we eat what we catch or shoot. Again, no complications: collect wood for fire, dig out hole in the ground and cook any way you want. Utensils: big pot of about 3 litres (because there are a few people to eat), knives, metal cups and wooden spoons (there is a joke that Russians eat everything with spoons only). But this is if we travel for a week of longer. Eat twice a day. And we have a lot of bread and cookies with tea between meals. And, of course, Vodka!
When I travel for shorter time, I take canned food-salmon, beef, or anything else- or my wife cooks something (except soup) and puts food into containers for food. Also: boiled potato, eggs, sandwiches, nuts, chocolate, etc. My favourite dish - boiled lamb meat!!! Just boiled in water with salt! Simple and tasty. What utensils do I take? I go to the nearest supermarket and take free plastic utensils from the cafeteria, knife and vacuum flask. I usually eat the same food all day long during my trips. I also keep a few canned fish, crisps, water and chocolate in my car because it happened a few times to me that I arrived to some place late at night and could not get any food.
The food I eat may sound too simple, but I find more fun to eat this kind of food when I travel because it gives extra feeling of the wild nature. Otherwise I would go to a restaurant!
