For context I’m watching Tucker Carlson shop in Russia at a grocery store and as a Black American who has not been to any European or Asian countries , I want to know what would be the flavor profile of Russia , tbh the only thing I have consumed that I know was from Russia is vodka, and that I don’t want to believe is the entire flavor profile of Russia but for reference and to help give me an answer . I am 27 in Chicago. I associate the taste of spicy foods with South America ,South Africa ,Some of Asia ,Middle east . Fishy foods with North America ,Asia,Antarctica, Some of Australia . I associate savory foods with North America ,regions of South America , Europe ,West and Central Africa. I’m asking essentially what an over all staple taste of Russia would be , in my mind I think bitter (cause of vodka) or bland. What would be more accurate?

I received holiday pay for 7/4 last check it had $100 removed from it before it payed out ,this week it was put back in as a holiday voucher (the missing$100) but it never added to the overall gross pay . Am I getting payed for it or not ?also why would they do it like this ?

I am a part time preloader and seasonal driver I just hit a year on July 1st I don’t know if this is relevant but just in case .
