Russian cuisine is a mix of different nations' customs and cooking traditions and the local ones. It was influenced by European, Asian, Siberian and Caucasian cuisines, forming different and interesting dishes. Many of the Russian food recipes appeared as a response to the harsh climate, that is why some of the typical Russian food includes caviar, fish, pork and the fruits and vegetables people were able to find, like berries or mushrooms. Besides the traditional food, there are also drinks that were invented many centuries ago and are still popular, like vodka or kvas.
