Whole bones.
I'm not going to eat bones.
Smells good.
First the bones, then the lamb, and then the buns.
Yes.
Hi! You are on Easy Russian channel.
My name is Marina, and this is my niece Liza.
Hi!
Today...
You are so cute!
Liza, the problem is not in you, but in me. I knew it.
And today, together with Liza, we are going to show you
what Russian breakfast is,
what it looks like,
what we eat for breakfast,
and what all this stuff on the table is called.
Let's go?
Yes.
So, first tell me, what do you like to eat for breakfast?
Porridge.
What porridge?
Druzhba.
And what kind of porridge is that?
It's a porridge with rice and millet.
It seems to me that this is exactly it, look.
I also put butter in it.
This is it.
This is it, right?
Yes.
Super.
Damn, you know, let's see what else we have here,
and then we'll choose where to start.
What do you think of this suggestion?
Yes.
Yes? Then I'll put a plate of porridge for you,
and let's see what's on the table.
We have dried fruit, jam and sour cream.
This is dried fruit,
here is jam,
and this is?
Sour cream.
So, what else?
Cheesecakes and red currant, right?
No, this is red currant.
Yes, red currant.
Here it looks like this.
This is a seasonal berry, by the way,
and I didn't like it very much as a child,
because I was forced to pick it from the bushes.
Can you imagine?
Do you like red currant?
Yes, I love it.
Yes?
Okay, then we'll eat it with cheesecakes today.
What else is there?
Croissants.
Buns.
So, let's show.
This is a croissant.
Croissant.
Croissant, right.
And this bun is called a Moscow bun.
Moscow bun.
It's like this with sugar.
And this, these are my favorite pies, Liza.
This is a pie with cabbage.
Don't you like pies with cabbage?
No.
Damn, I love it very much.
And what do you like pies with?
I like pies with cherries.
With cherries?
Damn, well, there are no cherries here.
But do you know what we have?
We have cheesecakes with a filling.
And these are cheesecakes with a cherry filling.
Wow!
Cool, yes.
And what is this?
These are pancakes and pancakes.
These are pancakes?
Yes.
Do you like pancakes?
Yes, I do.
Cool, me too.
And I love pancakes.
I generally love to eat, to be honest.
Here.
Damn, you know what else I see here?
From what I loved very much in childhood.
This is super simple food.
This is a doctor's sausage.
And I love it.
Yes.
Russian cheese.
It is called so, really.
I love Russian cheese.
Do you love Russian cheese?
And white bread.
What else is white bread called?
Do you know?
No.
Baton.
Here it is.
So.
And we also have black bread.
Black.
Yes.
A loaf of bread, you might say.
Usually, when they say a loaf of bread, they mean black bread.
And also a loaf is a car.
Because it looks like a loaf of bread.
So.
Well.
You and I looked at what we have here.
A lot of things, right?
How did you say?
Do your eyes squint?
Yes.
So many things that my eyes squint.
This is true, yes.
Look.
I really like your porridge.
Can I try?
Yes.
Good.
You say it's millet, right?
Yes.
Millet and rice.
Damn, by the way, I don't like millet.
Do you know what porridge I like?
Oatmeal.
Do you like oatmeal?
Yes.
But I don't like semolina porridge.
Me neither.
Do you have semolina porridge in kindergarten?
Yes.
Do you eat it?
Well.
No.
I wouldn't either.
I didn't eat semolina porridge either.
In general, no one likes semolina porridge.
Few people also like oatmeal.
But for some reason they eat it more now.
But it's okay.
I like oatmeal.
Yes?
Yes.
Your porridge is not bad.
Well, you know, I want more, probably, a pie.
What do you want to start with?
Sushik.
Sushik?
Yes.
Here you go.
I'll give it to you.
What would you call this dish?
Do you have an idea?
Sushnitsa.
This is a new word that we have just come up with.
You are now dipping sushi in jam.
Yes.
And crunching with sushi.
Good.
And look what else is there.
There is also a jar with strawberry jam.
You can open it like this.
And spread it on pancakes.
Do you want?
Yes.
Good.
Then I'll make it for you.
Tell me what is your favorite food?
While I spread it.
Well, I like sushi.
So.
And ice cream.
What ice cream?
Rainbow.
Ice cream.
But you don't eat ice cream for breakfast.
No.
And what do you usually eat for breakfast?
Well, I eat porridge.
Usual for breakfast.
And you would like ice cream, right?
Yes.
With sushi.
Okay.
Here you go.
Here's a pancake with jam spread on it.
Now you bite it.
And what will you say?
How do you like it?
Tasty.
Tasty?
Class.
And I'll take a spoon.
And, probably, I don't want sweet yet.
And I want to make myself a sandwich with cheese.
I put cheese on a white slice of bread.
And I put a piece of doctor's sausage on top.
Or a piece of sausage.
You can gently call it a sausage.
While you eat a sandwich, I will tell you about a doctor's sausage.
In general, this sausage is called a doctor's sausage.
It was invented in 1936.
And it was originally intended as a medical sausage for people who were starving for a long time and did not eat anything.
And that's why it began to be called a doctor's sausage.
Because of the word doctor.
And I didn't even know.
When I ate it as a child, I thought it was just a cool name.
Well, let's put the sausage aside.
Let me eat this sandwich too.
And I'll chew it.
Well, it's okay.
Fine.
I'd better eat the sausage separately.
What is this?
Red currant.
So.
What does it taste like?
Will you try it?
Yes, I'll try.
Tear it off.
Well, what do you say?
Tasty and sour.
By the way, red currant is a seasonal berry.
It's June now, and this is just the month when red currants are the most common.
In Russia, there is such a beautiful concept of a dacha.
Dacha is such a country house, where you often come with the whole family or with friends,
to spend the weekend, I don't know, fry kebabs, grow red currant.
We will also go to the dacha soon.
I will go to the dacha soon.
And continue to eat red currant there.
Yes.
Despite the fact that it is customary to rest at the dacha, people often come there to work.
For example, at the dacha, I often helped my grandmother plant potatoes,
pick currants and, I don't know, water flowers, cucumbers, all that.
Lisa, do you often go to the dacha?
Well, I don't, not often.
We go there in the summer.
And what do you do there?
I have a playground, I play there and walk with a friend.
Is there a garden there?
Yes, a big one.
And what grows there?
A lot of things, it's even impossible to retell everything.
Well, for example?
There, where strawberries, raspberries, strawberries and peas grow, a lot of things grow there.
And what is your favorite of all that is in the dacha?
Of all that is in the dacha, I have three favorites.
Strawberries, strawberries and raspberries.
Class.
Look what else we have.
We have kissel.
Kissel is such a thick compote.
I would probably describe it like this.
And, by the way, I have not seen it anywhere except in Russia.
This is a tube, hold it.
You can stick it in here and try it.
And tell me how you like kissel.
You are now drinking kissel from a tube.
Well, what does it taste like?
Cherry, tasty and thick.
Let me try it too.
May I?
Yes.
Come on.
Thank you.
Class.
I like it.
Really thick.
Kissel is given in kindergartens.
Kissel appeared in Russia in the middle of the 19th century.
And it is made on the basis of fruit and berry juice.
We ate sandwiches.
Well, I ate a sandwich.
With cheese and sausage.
Do you want to try a sandwich?
Let me make it for you.
With white bread or black?
With white.
Do you want to make it yourself?
Yes.
Good.
Do you want butter?
Butter?
Yes.
I want.
This is a knife with which I cut off a piece of butter.
And I give it to Liza so that she smears butter on the bread herself.
Come on.
In general, butter is a very cool thing.
It can be eaten with cheese, and with sausage, and with salads, and with pancakes.
And with anything.
Absolutely.
With anything.
For example, if you cook oatmeal, and it will not be very tasty,
then you should add a piece of butter to it, and it will become much tastier.
Do you agree?
Yes.
Good.
Can I help you smear it?
A little bit.
Come on.
So, I smear the butter in an accelerated mode.
It melts very quickly, by the way.
And what should I put on top of you?
Cheese?
First cheese, and then sausage.
Come on, put cheese first.
Sausage.
Take it.
Bite it.
And I'll make myself a croissant with butter.
I'll cut it in half now.
I have a slightly blunt knife, and therefore it cuts badly.
But it's okay.
Here.
I cut the croissant in half.
I cut off a piece of butter.
I smear it on the croissant.
And another piece.
I smear another piece, because I love a fat croissant.
And what do I want?
I think I want to take a big spoon,
put it in a jar with strawberry jam,
and put it all on top of the croissant.
Is it tasty?
I think it's very tasty.
It looks very appetizing.
Very appetizing, I agree.
Here.
Let's try it now.
I like it.
Do you want to try a piece?
Yes.
Bite it.
I'll feed you a croissant.
Tasty.
Chew it first.
Okay, I tried the croissant.
You can not finish it, in principle.
This is a demonstration croissant.
Liza, we have pancakes next.
Do you like pancakes?
Yes.
And can you cook them?
No.
And I can.
And I have proof,
which you will see in the video where I cook pancakes.
This sandwich, which Liza did not finish,
is called an over-eaten sandwich.
I'll put it aside.
Let's start with the pancakes.
Look, I have a fork for you.
Take it.
And a fork for me.
We also have a small spoon.
It is also called a dessert spoon.
And this is a large spoon, a table spoon.
I'll put it aside for now.
To fold the pancake correctly,
we need to put it aside.
The pancakes.
We put the pancakes correctly.
We put it aside.
Here we have such a good pancake.
How do you fold pancakes?
Me?
Yes.
Do you fold pancakes with a tube?
Yes.
Good.
What do you want to eat it with?
We also have fruits.
Jam.
Do you want a big spoon or a small one?
Choose.
A big spoon.
Take it.
Jam.
I'll hold it.
Spread it.
What are you doing now?
I'm spreading the pancake.
You're spreading jam on the pancake.
Yes, that's right.
I think you can fold it.
Come on, I'll hold it.
I'll put a spoon on the edge of the plate.
It looks very appetizing, of course.
By the way, these are oatmeal pancakes.
Their taste is a little different from the usual ones.
I usually cook on simple cow's milk.
And especially, by the way, speaking of butter,
if you add a lot of butter,
they turn out to be so fat, tasty and very rich,
if you can even say that about pancakes.
While Lisa is eating dried food,
I'll tell you about pancakes.
In general, pancakes are a very important part of Russian cuisine and Russian culture, in principle.
There is such a holiday called Maslenitsa.
We once talked about it in one of our podcasts.
Maslenitsa marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring,
so it's like a transitional holiday between one season to another.
And the holiday is pagan.
There is a Maslenitsa week,
on which pancakes are eaten every day.
Pancakes are eaten with condensed milk,
with red fish,
with red caviar,
with tomatoes, with chicken,
with bananas, with Nutella.
That's what I like with Nutella.
What do you like pancakes with, Lisa?
Me?
With rye jam and jams.
Do you know about Maslenitsa?
Yes.
And what do you know about it?
I know that on Maslenitsa they burn a butterfly.
Yes, that's true.
At the end of Maslenitsa week,
there are such big parties,
very large-scale,
which are held all over Russia,
and an important symbol of the end of winter and the beginning of spring
is just the burning of this big straw butterfly.
By the way, did you get a little dirty with jam?
Yes.
Let me give you a napkin.
Thank you.
I'll fold the napkin.
Here you go.
You have it here on your cheek,
on the other one.
Can you help me?
Let me help you.
I have a glove.
A glove? Let me wipe it off.
This, by the way, is called a red currant bud.
And this is called a cabbage pie.
And I love it very much.
Now I'm going to break it open and show you what's inside.
Liza, are you sure you don't want cabbage?
No.
Maybe you'll sniff it?
No?
And I really like it.
They are still so soft.
I think it's delicious.
Well, we have completely different tastes in food.
She likes strawberries, and I like cabbage.
Can't do anything about it.
I'm talking with a full mouth now.
And this, by the way, is not customary.
First you need to chew, swallow food, and then talk.
This is the rule of a good tone.
Which I obviously violate.
I really like cottage cheese.
And in general, everything that is made from it.
By the way, speaking of cottage cheese or cottage cheese,
you can kind of say both,
but I prefer to emphasize the first syllable.
And you?
Do you say cottage cheese or cottage cheese?
Cottage cheese.
This is a good way out of the situation.
If you don't know how to put emphasis correctly,
just use the diminutive form of this word.
Cottage cheese, sausage.
You will be understood.
And you will definitely not be mistaken.
So, cottage cheese.
I take a clean fork, and you take another handful of red currant, right?
I really like it.
Don't deny yourself anything.
Here.
Now, while I'm in Moscow,
for some reason I eat some cottage cheese products every day.
And it's not just cottage cheese.
This is, for example, a cottage cheese casserole,
or some cheesecake, probably, can also be considered a cottage cheese food.
Do you like cottage cheese, Lisa?
Yes.
So, well, we tried almost everything with you,
and you ate almost all the red currant.
You did it absolutely right.
This is a very good idea.
But we still have fruits.
Here is an apple,
which can be cut into slices.
And, for example, you can eat it with a pancake, too.
Or separately.
Do you want an apple, Lisa?
I'll take a banana.
Okay, take a banana.
You need to peel it first.
Yes.
The other way, I think.
Can I help you?
Come on.
You need to remove the peel from it.
And pull it down like this.
Hold it.
Oh, the cabbage fell out.
Well, Lisa, we tried everything on this table with you,
and now I suggest you evaluate,
on a five-point scale,
what you liked the most.
Five is just your favorite,
and one is, well, completely, phew.
Here I see that you drank the jelly.
How do you like the jelly?
Five.
Okay.
Porridge.
Porridge and jelly are four.
Okay.
Now pancakes.
Three.
Four.
Four, okay.
A sandwich with sausage, cheese and butter.
How many?
Five.
A croissant with butter and jam.
Five.
A Moscow bun.
Five.
You are evaluating generously.
A banana.
Four.
Okay.
Let's move on.
Cheesecakes.
Five.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Pancakes.
Five.
Wow.
Sushki.
Sushki are very popular.
You can eat them with sesame seeds,
with salt, I don't know,
with anything, really.
You can eat them with garlic,
with horseradish.
I think it's quite easy to make them at home.
I've never tried.
But for me, by the way,
they are also very closely associated
with my childhood.
There are also lambs.
Sushki are small,
and lambs are so ...
Big.
And if you eat them with salt,
then the lambs are soft.
There are also buns.
Buns.
Well, somewhere like this.
Well, first Sushki,
then it seems,
then lambs,
and then buns.
Buns are like this.
And lambs are somewhere in the middle.
And Sushki are small.
We have something left
that we didn't show.
Can you please pass
it to the jar?
And what is it with?
Let's see.
Strawberry jam?
No.
Strawberry jam in this jar.
And here we have ...
Raspberries?
Cones.
This is a jam made from pine cones.
I've never tried.
Me neither.
Is it with seeds?
I don't know,
but I see that there are ...
Cones.
Whole cones.
I won't eat cones.
Why?
I'd rather eat jam only.
Well, then I suggest
to leave this behind the scenes.
Do you want to try?
Yes.
So, you took off the paper on top,
untied the rope.
And here is the lid.
You need to unscrew it.
Unscrew.
Yes, you need to unscrew the lid.
I can't do it.
Maybe I can.
I couldn't unscrew the lid,
so I asked for help.
Is it a juice of cones?
It smells delicious.
But how can I pick it up without cones?
Pick it up.
Take the cone.
I don't want the cone.
What if you like it?
How do you like jam?
It's honey.
It's something related to honey.
So, it's cones in honey.
Yes.
While Liza is eating,
I want to invite you
to our conversation club.
We also discuss
completely different topics.
A piece of cone.
We can also discuss
sandwiches with sausage,
or how you learn Russian,
or basically anything
that you find interesting.
So, come to our page on Patreon
and see the link
in the first comment to this video.
It's not honey.
Not honey?
It's something.
A little bit of honey is added,
but something else.
What is it?
I don't understand.
Let me try.
It's some kind of syrup.
Let me try.
Feed me.
Okay, I'll do it myself.
Syrup or honey?
I don't know,
but it definitely tastes like cones.
But it's more like syrup.
Cone syrup.
Cone syrup?
Guys,
if you're interested
in learning Russian,
Almost.
Friends, write in the comments to this video
what else you want to see.
First, in slow Russian.
Second, about Russia,
about Russian language, Russian food,
and, I don't know,
about...
Anything.
About anything.
Thank you very much, Liza,
for sharing this breakfast with me
Please.
Always say goodbye.
