In Russian it’s usual to have meals three times a day. There is breakfast, dinner and supper.

Blinchiki are morning meals. Blini are practically the same as English pancakes. In Russia they are served with butter and sugar. Blinchiki are very thin blini. Of course they are made from other dough. The thinner the blinchiki are, the tastier they are. Besides there are blinchiki with stuffing.

There is a plenty of different stuffing. For example blinchiki with cottage cheese, meat, jam. If you are in Russia on Maslenica (Shrovetide, Shrove Tuesday) you can try different kinds of blinchiki because on that holiday blinchiki are considered to be the main and necessary dish.

Try blinchiki with caviar – the posh variant of the course. Russians really love caviar and serve it on many holidays.
