I'm not a fan of Russian chocolate-I think it must be a nostalgic thing the way I might miss American junkfood. At least when I look at the ingredients, nothing here is high quality at the moment. Suhariki are great and definitely cool flavors in Russia. My husband misses bread when we're traveling.

Well, lately, due to instruction from the Irish lady on "Bigger Bolder Baking" I have started getting quality chocolate bars and cutting them up for cookies - so each to his own I guess. (Chips are certainly easier, that's true.) What we miss from Russia is "Zeliony" (Green antiseptic") as a couple of the kids still swear by that. They also miss Russian chocolate. so your post got me wondering how Russian chocolate would taste in cookies. Suhariki - the croutons. They will eat regular croutons, but oddly American ones do not come in crab, smoked fish and mushroom flavors. One of my boys always wants me to get smoked fish at the Russian store. And Tula cakes. GOOD BREAD is what I personally dream about. Annie Kitchinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11638369332689401184noreply@blogger.com
