Eastern European & Russian food
I have a shop nearby, i think it's Russian, that sells a whole load of different Eastern European food. Being a fan of Chorizo, Biltong, Beef Jerky etc, can anyone recommend anything i should look for or ask after in there? They seem to have a nice selection of dried meats and a whole load of other food i've never seen before.

And just why we're on the subject - Chorizo is neither Eastern European or Russian

Polish food is very nice - especially the soups. A lot more wholesome and filling than ones over here

Polish kabanos and krakowska are worth getting if you like sausages.

Polish wiejska is very nice, as is Russian vobla (salt-cured fish). Kabanos is dried sausage, so you might like that.
Then there's studen (jellied meat). I wouldn't buy any pre-packaged soups like schchi (cabbage), or borschsh (beetroot) because they are really easy to make yourself, but botvinya is worth it. Kefir is a nice (milk) drink, as is kvass is quite. |

Several people I know seem to favour food from countries such as Poland and Russia.

I love trying different world foods but as a vegetarian the range I find does nothing to entice me to buy - any recommendations for my diet?
