Canteen Lunch

Another post on the theme of Food.

A full three-course lunch which I enjoyed in a workers' canteen some time in December last year, I think it was December 10, 2014.

The canteen was a Soviet-style workers's canteen where you have a choice of several dishes for each course, where you eat with real forks and spoons out of proper plates and not just with your dirty fingers out of cardboard boxes as you do in certain other places. Also very moderately priced, too.

Not easy to find nowadays in Moscow... but lots of fast food places. This is what proper Russian cuisine looks like albeit at the entry level -- at a workers' canteen level.


A three course lunch (or dinner actually) -- broccoli salad, pea soup-puree and stuffed eggplant (aubergines?). 


Like I said I am using proper cutlery... not eating out of paper boxes for a change.



Pea soup puree with rough looking croutons (whatever). 



Some broccoli salad 100 grams... other vegetables are also present in there.




Stuffed eggplants (or is it aubergines?) in sauce.



My bill. RUB 260.

One drawback typical of such places -- the dishes tend to be lukewarm rather than proper hot. Or maybe it's because it was rather late for a lunch at 3 o'clock p.m.

Overall: 7/10
