Private Evening with a Russian Family |
|
Cozy Shashlyk / Kebab party with a Russian family out in the suburbs of Saint-Petersburg |
|
|
|
|
I offer you a unique opportunity to experience what it feels like and tastes like to join a typical Russian family for a delicious shashlyk (more familiar to you like kebab) in the countryside. Going to restaurants to taste Russian cuisine is certainly interesting especially because quite a few of them offer very good food and unusual interiors. But where else will you ... have a chance to just sit and chat by the fire with your Russian host sipping beer and savoring delicious meat? ... Be a guest yet feel like home?
The menu is a typical one for a family gathering including fresh pork kebab (chicken kebab can be cooked specially for you on prior notice), boiled or roasted potatoes, various Russian pickles, fresh salads. You will try Russian vodka the way Russians do it (it's up to you how much to drink, of course nobody will want you to get really drunk!), Russian light beer or home-made berry drink (mors) Of course you will be shown around the house...... |
