I tried the Hot Honey Crisp Whatachick'n, Strawberry Hibiscus drink, and the Banana Pudding Shake (I loved all of it)

Surprisingly, I loved the Strawberry Hibiscus drink the most. I didn't expect that to be quite so good. I wish the sandwich had more pimento cheese, and the "hot honey" was much sweeter than a normal hot honey, but I liked it.

Map illustrating the changes to the China-Russia border during the 19th century, due in large part to the efforts of Nikolay Muravyov-Amursky.

This map is interesting for several reasons, not just because it depicts the Treaty of Aigun. Although it comes from the Library of Congress in 1960, it uses the USSR to represent Russia in the 19th century. There are also a few other unusual details that stand out including using the term Manchuria.

I made two Tomato Soup Cakes since the recipe said bake "for 45 minutes to 90 minutes depending on the shape of the pan."

When Max said "I'm not sure what shape pan is going to require double the bake time than another pan", I said hold my vodka...

New Rules and a Few Changes

Good morning everyone...

It's an ungodly hour before my coffee while I'm supposed to be on vacation, but I've been getting far too many reports lately, so it's time to clarify a few things.

What Is Russian Food?

r/RussianFood is for food that is traditionally associated with Russian cuisine. From regional dishes across the Russian Federation and foods that have long been integrated into Russian food culture.

Examples include:

  • Borscht (stop reporting this)
  • Pelmeni
  • Blini
  • Shchi
  • Solyanka
  • Beef Stroganoff
  • Olivier Salad
  • Syrniki
  • Pirozhki
  • Kholodets
  • etc

We'll also allow foods that may not have originated in Russia but have become a recognizable part of everyday life and dinning culture within the Russian Federation. The key question is not "Was this invented in Russia?" but rather "Is this something commonly associated with the Russian food experience?"

What Should Be Allowed on r/RussianFood?

Recommended content includes:

  • Homemade Russian dishes
  • Restaurants in Russia
  • Russian Restaurants outside of Russia
  • Historical Russian recipes
  • Vintage Soviet cookbooks and recipe discussions
  • Russian desserts, breads, drinks, and preserves
  • Ingredient discussions related to Russian cooking
  • Regional Russian foods and culinary traditions

Not allowed:

  • Random food with no connection to Russia
  • Food photos with no indication of what the dish actually is
  • Low-effort content that gives no context to readers

Every post must include the name of the dish in the title.

If you don't know the exact name, provide at least a description of what we're looking at.

Examples:

  • ✅ "Pelmeni with Sour Cream"
  • ✅ "Homemade Olivier Salad"
  • ✅ "Grandmother's Cabbage Pirozhki"
  • ✅ "Traditional Fish Soup (Need Help Identifying)"
  • ❌ "Dinner Tonight"
  • ❌ "Look What I Made"
  • ❌ "Thoughts?"

There's been a lot of questionable content recently, and I can't effectively moderate the subreddit if I have no idea what was posted in the first place. If you're sharing a dish, just help the community out by telling us what it is.

What do you think of You Are Mine by Sister Anastasia?

I think it's interesting. Personally, I've never been drawn to the occult, new age witchcraft, or esoteric spirituality. I find it difficult to relate, but I have have friends who very much remind me the younger Sister Anastasia.

Is there a way to view upvote ratios by country?

I find both the "Top Views by Country" and overall upvote ratio metrics incredibly useful. However, I'm wondering if there's any way to break down upvote ratios by country. Are there any tools dev apps that provide this kind of insight?

My communities have two countries that make up the majority, and I'd be interested in seeing how users from each country respond to specific posts.
