    I suppose the most obvious one here is Irish Stew :rolleyes: . And also Potatos are one of the more common things that you will find here.

    yes it is a form of crepe, a russian style crepe its called blini.

    Q. What is the definition of a blini, and what origin are they?

    A. Blini are small puffy pancakes that originally come from Russia, but some Russian blini are thin and the diameter of a saucer. Classically they are served with sour cream and caviar or smoked salmon.

    They are best fried in a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet. "The first blin is always lumpy" the Russian saying goes, but you'll get the knack after three or four :D . (Blin, by the way, is the singular of blini.)


    2 eggs
    1 tablespoon white sugar
    1/3 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    2 1/2 cups milk
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    1 tablespoon butter


    DIRECTIONS:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and salt. Sift the flour into the bowl, and stir in along with the milk. Mix until smooth and well blended. The batter should be thin.
    Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil the pan or spray with cooking spray. Pour about 2 tablespoons of the batter, or as much as desired, into the pan. Tilt the pan to spread the batter out evenly. When the edges are crisp looking and the center appears dry, slide a spatula carefully under the blin. Flip, and cook for about 1 minute on the other side, or until lightly browned.
    Remove blini to a plate. Put a little butter on top, and continue to stack the blini on top of each other. To serve, roll anything you like into it. Mmm Mmm!

    After you cook blini you can roll anything you like into them like chopped eggs, mushrooms, chopped vegetables, meats or caviar.

    Exapmle of a stuffing:

    The carrot and egg stuffing: shred the washed and peeled carrots on the shredder, fry on the vegetable oil add the chopped eggs, put some salt, pepper stir carefully and let the mixture cool. Stuff the pancakes with the cooled mixture and bake on both sides on the frying pan. Serve with the dairy butter or the sour cream.

    They sound good! I might have to try them sometime. Especially if a certain purple-haired marionette makes them for me. ;)

    They look kinda like sausage/spring rolls though. Is there any similarity?

    Maybe I can find some traditional Canadian food to post here. I think Cheeseburgers were invented in Canada, anyone not know how to make those? :D

    no, sorry, no similarity at all :D blini are more like a crepe filled with vegetables and/or meats.

    i see that in portugal you have many rice dishes? in Russia rice isnt that popular, we have some Russian rice dishes, but not many.

    Russian rice dish called golubtsi.

    Sounds like a cabbage roll ^___^

    hmm the kinds of traditional family foods I have had are I think all sweets. There's boterkoek, a Dutch butter cake, but you can add almond paste to the middle which makes it really good. Also oliebolen, which are fried pastry type things filled with apples and raisins and you dip it in icing sugar, always eaten on New Year's.

    There's also these potato donuts popular on my Dad's French side, donut batter with potato, lightly fried then coated with fruit sugar. The holes are punched out when cutting and those are fried too sugar coated and called "bougons" (don't ask me why), then served heated with a bougon on each donut top..

    Anyways, I live in Canada, and there are many different cultural foods here to try out, but the ones up top are ones my family has made for many years.
