Both of these visions have a basis in reality, but both are incomplete. The history of food and drink in Russia includes fasts and feasts, scarcity and, for some, at least, abundance. It includes dishes that came out of the northern, forested regions and ones that incorporate foods from the wider Russian Empire and later from the Soviet Union. Cabbage and Caviar places Russian food and drink in the context of Russian history and shows off the incredible (and largely unknown) variety of Russian food. 410 0$aFoods and Nations 606 $aFood habits 615 0$aFood habits. 676 $a641.300947 700 $aSmith$b Alison K$0243656 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794436303321 996 $aCabbage and Caviar$93869347 997 $aUNINA
