      Wow! They did a really clean job on that.

      If I ever travel to Russia I might just have to track down that restaurant and eat there.

        But who’s the FAGOT anyway?

      • Petya says:

        The sign on the picture says that they serve Shashlyk (Russian style shish-kebab). The kind they serve in most places in Moscow is really bad. They traditionally use pork for it soaked overnight in white vinegar with lots of onions, and they don’t even use lean pork, so you will have lots of (non-edible) fat on every piece. The meat is also usually not the first grade so chances are it’s going to be pretty difficult to chew. For shish kebab in Russia, try Uzbek (the best in my personal opinion) or Georgian restaurants. They usually use lamb and they marinate it in the traditional mix of spices with no vinegar or anything silly like that.

        Also, never-ever drink a Russian produced beer, even if it’s a well-known western brand. I don’t know what do they do with it but it tastes like shit and it gives you a real headache in the morning. A few months ago, they started selling American Budweiser beer here (marketed as Bud of course because of that dispute with the Czech Budweiser). The bottle looks like Bud but the taste…horrible, simply horrible. It is produced in Russia by Heineken (?) Russian Heineken is not a good beer either. Russian produced Foster’s and Miller are surprisingly OK, but Russian produced Guinness (they produce everything here) is urine. Any pure Russian beer is pure evil.

        • illlich says:

          actually Bud tastes like shit in the USA too.

          Really? NO good Russian beers?

          • Petya says:

            None. I am a beer aficionado. Tried them all. Beer here is water with bubbles and some vodka added for the booze effect. What they do here is when a new brand is introduced (imported or domestic) they do a real good job at first. Then, after a while, they sharply degrade the quality and brew some standard Russian shit in its place to make up for all the money that they lost during the promotional period. Most people don’t notice and continue drinking the shit. Why do they even make those promotional batches? I have no idea.

            Not long ago, they were promoting Sol, the ultimate Mexican cerveza (oh yeah!). For about two months it was the real Sol imported from Mexico. I was so happy. Then one day I bought another bottle and the taste was terrible. I looked at the label and there it was in fine print, “Brewed in Russia by blah-blah-blah license and supervision”. No more Sol for me.

            Russian beer? I know them all and I tried them all, every single one. Whatever they are, they are not beers. I know they can make a good beer, but they don’t want to and they don’t have to. People here go for the booze, not the taste, and they know it, so… The beer here is much stronger than it is in the US. It’s kind of like malt liquor, like Colt 45, yeah, that what it is. And then they have really strong “beer”, 9% alcohol by vol, that one is very popular among the “real men”. That’s how they promote it on TV, “real beer, for real men”. So, now you know.

            • Jurjen S. says:

              Sorry mate, but liking Sol and being a beer aficionado are mutually exclusive. With Mexican ultralights like Sol, Corona, Pacifico, etc. you don’t but the stuff, you rent it. So far, the only Mexican beers I’ve come across worth drinking are Negra Modelo and Dos Equis. If you’re looking for a watery, refreshing Sol-type beer that actually has a decent flavor, you might want to try some of the stuff from El Salvador, like Rialto and San Lucas.

          I had lamb Shashlik in Kazakhstan this past summer. It was pretty damn good! I liked the vinegar and onions… before sampling it in KZ, I hadn’t had it before. Yes, there were chunks of fat as well, but we just ate ‘em as well..

          delicious!

          • Petya says:

            Of course. Kazakhs (like Uzbeks) know their Shashlyk. The lamb, you said? That’s what I said. Can’t really spoil lamb, even with vinegar. I doubt that they used vinegar though. Were they real Kazakhs? Or were they Russians posing as Kazakhs? Can’t imagine vinegar and lamb in Kazakhstan, just can’t, sorry. Unless you are Russian. That would explain it. That’s all you know, vinegar. Onions are fine. Great food in Kazakhstan (if done right), love it.

        • Jurjen S. says:

          If you’re going for shashlik in Moscow, I’d recommend Karetnyi Dvor (ul. Povarskaya, d. 52). I ate there in 2005, and it was quite delicious.

          A perfect reproduction of the Anheuser-Busch product, then.

          I spent a month in Russia in 2005; during that time I drank Efes, Baltika (various numbers), Klinskoe Svetloe, Sibirskaya Korona Originalnoe, and Staryi Melnik, and while I wasn’t especially impressed with any of them, I thought they were fairly serviceable. I rather liked the Baltika number 5, actually.
