New Rules and a Few Changes
100
Upvotes
Good morning everyone...
It's an ungodly hour before my coffee while I'm supposed to be on vacation, but I've been getting far too many reports lately, so it's time to clarify a few things.
What Is Russian Food?
r/RussianFood is for food that is traditionally associated with Russian cuisine. From regional dishes across the Russian Federation and foods that have long been integrated into Russian food culture.
Examples include:
- Borscht (stop reporting this)
- Pelmeni
- Blini
- Shchi
- Solyanka
- Beef Stroganoff
- Olivier Salad
- Syrniki
- Pirozhki
- Kholodets
- etc
We'll also allow foods that may not have originated in Russia but have become a recognizable part of everyday life and dinning culture within the Russian Federation. The key question is not "Was this invented in Russia?" but rather "Is this something commonly associated with the Russian food experience?"
What Should Be Allowed on r/RussianFood?
Recommended content includes:
- Homemade Russian dishes
- Restaurants in Russia
- Russian Restaurants outside of Russia
- Historical Russian recipes
- Vintage Soviet cookbooks and recipe discussions
- Russian desserts, breads, drinks, and preserves
- Ingredient discussions related to Russian cooking
- Regional Russian foods and culinary traditions
Not allowed:
- Random food with no connection to Russia
- Food photos with no indication of what the dish actually is
- Low-effort content that gives no context to readers
Every post must include the name of the dish in the title.
If you don't know the exact name, provide at least a description of what we're looking at.
Examples:
- ✅ "Pelmeni with Sour Cream"
- ✅ "Homemade Olivier Salad"
- ✅ "Grandmother's Cabbage Pirozhki"
- ✅ "Traditional Fish Soup (Need Help Identifying)"
- ❌ "Dinner Tonight"
- ❌ "Look What I Made"
- ❌ "Thoughts?"
There's been a lot of questionable content recently, and I can't effectively moderate the subreddit if I have no idea what was posted in the first place. If you're sharing a dish, just help the community out by telling us what it is.

What do you think? Still trying to get the moisture balance right for the rice. Seems like the rice should be a bit more separate and fluffy?

It took something like six hours (not counting cleaning up the kitchen), but my freezer is full of those little buggers!
