Both of these visions have a basis in reality, but both of them are incomplete. The history of food and drink in Russia includes hunger and it includes plenty, it includes 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 $aCabbage 606 $aCaviar 606 $aFood$xHistory 606 $aFood and society$2bicssc 607 $aRussia (Federation)$2fast 607 $aSoviet Union$2fast 615 0$aCabbage. 615 0$aCaviar. 615 0$aFood$xHistory 615 7$aFood and society 676 $a641.300947 700 $aSmith$b Alison Karen$01726294 801 0$bUkLoBP 801 1$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809552603321 996 $aCabbage and Caviar$94132015 997 $aUNINA
