In Russia the only thing you get for lunch is a sweet bun (there are hundreds of different type of them) and a cup of tee wich is soooo sweet that one single sip of it gives you diabetes.
What exactly is a sweet bun? Just like bread, or like a bread with meat filling like a samosa?
My guess would've been sausage and beer, haha.
*vodka
True.
Yep, it's like sweet bread with a filling : poppy, fruit jam, cinnamon...or more sugar :) If you behaved good and praised communism, you may get a sausage :D
Did you grow up during the Soviet era?
Nope, 90s
That's Germany.
Sausage and beer must be school lunch in Germany :)
Whoaa not sure when you were in Russia in school but we always had breakfast which was porridge (kasha) cooked with milk and raisins and then chicken noodle soup for lunch. My parents would have never let me go to a school that didn't serve hot meals! This was in the 90s so maybe you were there more recently and they changed their ways?
Yep, 90s too, but it i changed schools 3 times and it was the only thing we've got in lunch. We had thoug a complete meal with kasha and stuff in a kindergarden
Went to school in Russia more recently - the lunches only got better, comparing to what you describe. In my school they offered two meals to chose from so you would be able to get two different kinds of soup and two different kinds of main dish. Yeah and lots of deserts and snacks that you can buy
It's funny you mention this because every time I've had Russian colleagues, whenever they drink tea they pour about a kilo of sugar in their cup. I watch them do it, one spoonful, two, three, four, I count, and it looks like it will never stop :D
Haha, yeah , either you learn to live with that or you're disgusted by the sweet tea till the rest of your life :)
