Disputes about Russian cuisine among foreigners are an eternal topic of discussion. They are amazed at some of the dishes that are considered familiar in Russia, writes "Rambler".
Some of them may even scare them with their appearance and description alone. Of course, you can find strange dishes among different nations of the world, but foreigners get used to Russian dishes and appreciate them. What dishes in Russia are the most repellent to foreigners?
Semolina
Not only do many children dislike her, but also foreigners. The fact is that semolina is not sold abroad at all, so they do not know about the existence of such porridge. Most often, guests from other countries note the strange lumps and insipid taste of porridge.
Jelly
This dish is famous for the fact that many are shocked by its description. Even some residents of Russia do not like frozen meat broth with pieces of meat and vegetables. However, foreigners who risk trying it only speak positively about it.
kissel
People from other countries think that jelly is unfinished jelly and do not understand how this dish can be used as a drink. If at first they are skeptical about him, then the taste and smell will not leave you indifferent.

Okroshka
While in Russia every summer they argue about what is the best way to cook okroshka - on kvass or kefir, foreigners do not understand at all how soup is made from salad, filling it with fermented milk or bread drink. Not everyone likes okroshka after a couple of spoons, but there are also foreign connoisseurs.
Pancakes with salted filling
For most foreigners, pancakes are purely a dessert. They are not surprised by pancakes with jam, honey and fruit, but they start to grimace when they are served pancakes with meat and sour cream. Abroad, no one perceives this dish as the main one, so it is often rejected.
Herring under a Fur Coat
One of Russians' favorite winter salads is perplexing to foreigners. First of all, they note that its appearance does not fit in any way with taste and description. Beets give the mayonnaise a pink color, which makes people think it's a dessert. Many people like herring, but they still say that there is too much mayonnaise in the salad.

Hematogen
Admit it, you yourself were surprised when you found out that the bar contains the blood of bulls. If you give a foreigner a taste of hematogen, then you should only talk about its composition when all the food is digested. The description of this dessert most often causes confusion and fear of its taste.
