Only in Russia - Sushki

These dried bread rings get their name from the verb, "to dry" - "sushat".

They come in different varieties and sizes. 

These ones are made with milk, which makes them softer, others are more crunchy.

These sushki are made at the bakery.

They have Peter's seal of approval!

 

Only in Russia - Sirok

This is the first of what I hope will be a series of posts, showing you things that especially Russian, and might not be available elsewhere (although I am sure some countries have their own equivilents).

"Sirok" translates as "little cheese", which is a little misleading, as they do not taste of cheese.

They come in different flavours the two below are: 

caramalised sweetened condensed milk, and strawberry flavoured.  

They are made from milk curds, butter and sugar, with a chocolate coating, and a flavoured centre.

These ones are 23% fat!

They make a very good snack, although they can leave your fingers sticky!
