If I had yougurt and frozen cherries I would put yougurt in a glass dish and put cherries on top. I would wait for cherries to melt and then I would eat it.
But since I do't have cherries I will eat a nice chokolate condy I bought in Russian shop today.
I also have a headache. But can you imagine that we here in a small town have four (4) Russian-Polish shops. And they all are doing well.
I think one or two of them are right offs (or washing money). But this is what I think and I don't really know. People that own the shops look a little scary to me. But then I don't really know.

t-p, it's amazing you have four Russian food outlets in a small town in the west of Ireland! How come? I live in a fairly big town/city in the southeast of England, and we have none! I would die for some of those spicy sausages - kielbasa (although I know that's just the Polish word for them). In New York, the words are interchangeable - what is the Russian one?. Williamsburg (Brooklyn) is the place to go!

Yes, some of the food is very good. However, many things are send open with no cover and no plastic wrapping paper. The fish is open in boxes and flies can sit on it, or other people can touch it.
The shaddy characters are not pleasant. Some are nicer than others and service vary.
martle, I think you are better off without them. There are nothing in them that is better than your supermarket. Take my word for it (and I am from that above mentioned country). Every time I have nostalgic feeling (like today) and I go there I come out cursing myself and thinking I will never go again. Then I go after 4 - 6 months to come out and say the same thing.
And where do they get characters like that from? Today the man (owner) was speaking on the mobile phone when I drove to the shop. The way he looked I would be afraid to meet him not only in a dark place, but during light hours with crowd of people around. (God help me - I thought buying 25 euro worth of groceries, mostly candies).

Recommended, the restaurant Potemkin near Farringdon station in London. Not cheap, but excellent (and one place where you can find that amazing range of vodkas). |

what else can you find in Russian Restaurant, but vodka.
Russian food is good (for me), but for other people Russian dishes are: borsh (soup), and strew, and some salads etc.
One can go there but once. In my view Indian (or Chinese for me) Restaurants are much more interesting.
In the USA chinese Restaurants were really good. In California some Mexican restaurants were good.
In London they say Indian restaurants are good.

As well as lots of vodka! Everything is extremely good quality at this place (a group of Russian friends were the ones who first took me there, for whatever that's worth in terms of recommendation!). |

Please don't apologise t-p - I enjoyed finding that little shrew to post to you. I hope my silly jokes don't offend you - it's just that some of your mistakes make me smile and that's not a bad thing is it? Night night t-p, sleep well. MJ xxx |

In the USA chinese Restaurants were really good. In California some Mexican restaurants were good.
In London they say Indian restaurants are good.
It's generally believed that the best Indian restaurants in this country are in the north (Manchester - Rusholme in particular, Bradford, Leeds etc.), although I wonder if that's strictly true. Personally I've never had better Indian food anywhere else. Yes, t-p, some great Mexican food in California, although it's hard to find bad restaurants there in my experience. Very sophisticated cuisine (and varied!). I haven't been to Mexico, but the best Tex-Mex food I ever had was in Houston - simply wonderful, fresh and properly spiced. Never had anything even half as good in this country. (Perhaps t_i_n can chip in with a tortilla chip or two when he's back from Mexico!) |

I like chinese food.
Once we were invited to an Indian wedding (they were from Gayana) and the food was so spicy that we couldn't eat it.
I could see that it is good food, but I could not put it in my mouth because I would have to run around the Restaurant and screem. They would have to catch me.
Fortunately that did not happen. We came home hungry and I made something for us to eat.
I have to say TP did eat a little out of desparation, but the look on his face said he did not enjoy it.

Opiliec, at the risk of upsetting people again (my lamb yearning the other week) I must say that looks magnificent. Roast pots as well, I hope? (lip smacking emoticon)

I bought a big very heavy metal (don't know how it is called) pot that is usually very expensive and was on sale for 30 euro. I did chicken very well in it (I did put it in the oven).
I put some chicken herbs on it (they are called herbs for chicken), chives from the garden and some more herbs from the garden and inside the cavaty I put the whole lemon.
I had two friends that are helping me with redecoration of the house over for lunch and I made rice with lentil to serve with chiken.
I did put a little bit of water in the pot so that the chicken. I also had salad to go with it.
It was so good. I am going to make it again. I will not mind to wait for it again too.
