Dined at G.U.M. on Red Square, USSR Cuisine Revisited

 About two weeks ago went to dine basically in the Kremlin - at the State Department Store (GUM) on Red Square, the largest in the world, and the oldest too.




This the place I had lunch - Stolovaya No. 57 at GUM - since 1957 but in a 2007 reincarnation.

It specializes in USSR cuisine - the best cuisine there is - and I have tried everything, so here goes: a kharcho soup bowl, meatballs with mashed potatoes, dressed herring ("under a fur coat") salad, a fast cabbage roll, meat pie, a citrus salad (dessert) and two glasses of compote.


Very filling, didn't have dinner .
