Need Russian Food Ideas

OK, ladies.  I posted last week about an International Festival at Janie's school where the kids have to learn about a country, dress-up and bring food from that country.  I tried to get her a little traditional Polish dress but it didn't work out.

I just ended up ordering this dress off of Etsy:

and we're going to do Russia.  I just tried to pick something different b/c I'm sure everyone is going to do Ireland and Italy, lol. 

 So, what should I make.  All I can really think of is Beef Stroganoff (which I think is totally barfy, but the kids might like) or Blinis (doing sweet ones instead of caviar, lol).  But, that would be much much harder (unless I could find frozen already-made ones :)  

Any other ideas??

Re: Need Russian Food Ideas

  • ...maybe I should just make "russian dressing" lol.  that would be easy :)
  • russian tea cakes?

    I love beef strogonoff so would probably do that. 

  • Vodka.  With limes.

  • I have no idea, but my cousin studied abroad in Russia if you'd like me to ask her for ideas.

  • I was actually born in Russia so some ideas are ploff (rice with beef), szharkoya (basically a beef stew), borsch (beet soup). I'm sure I can think of other stuff if you need it.

    You were born there? Very cool.  Where abouts?  I've been, but only to St. Petersburg which I LOVED.  However, I didn't love the food, haha.  I thought of borscht too but, ick.  I'll look into your others.  I may just end up doing beef stroganoff, which I call Beef Yuck-off but DH loves it and I bet J will too.

    LOVE beef stroganoff :) ironically, I had no idea it was a Russian dish haha. I was born in Kishinev, Moldova which was part of the former U.S.S.R. I came to the US 10 days from my 5th birthday, but my parents obviously still cook a lot of Russian dishes.
