womanofdulwich Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 no Annette- they have been in the uk for a month eating "our" food- I just thought I would make a little effort to buy/ make a few things - but trying to avoid a jar of caviar......Lidl might be the answer-last time I was there i loaded up on croque monsiuers(?) and lasagna- Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/25771-russian-food/#findComment-578928 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gidget Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 There's a Polish place in Camberwell on Church Street with things like pierogis - also the Polish restaurant restaurant at Elephant and Castle called Mamuska, which might hit the spot. The Southbank Food fair every weekend - Friday, Sat. and Sunday nr. Waterloo Station also has a Polish place.

womanofdulwich Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 Thanks I might fall back on Polish food, but he is from Siberia - I have a feeling Polish food will be exotic! The food fair sounds a great idea though. Will take him there and see what lights his fire ;) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/25771-russian-food/#findComment-578945 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gidget Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Take him to Brixton Village as well, open late on Thursday and Friday night, and I think Sat. night; so many places to go. They have a Sunday food market as well. The Herne Hill Sunday market is also worth a visit, lots and lots of stalls.

MrBen Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Why not get some ingredients tomorrow and make some homemade Perogies to go alongside some standard British fare? They're very traditional (Ukrainian but close) and great served with some pickle /sour cream alongside some decent salads and you can make your own fillings (cheese and onion etc).They'll also appreciate that you made the effort yourself...don't worry about the dough being slightly stretchy - it's supposed to be.

David A Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 There is, or certainly was, a tiny Russian food shop/deli on Cornwall Road, just off the Cut, in Waterloo that sells Russian meats and cheeses amongst other things. I'm not sure of the name as it was in Cyrillic, but if you google 'Russian Shop, Waterloo' it should come up. Alternatively, for a taste of the 'old' Russia, get him to join the queue at Wm. Rose on a Saturday morning. When he gets to the front, tell him he's got the wrong voucher, the food is only for Politburo members and give him the steering rack for a 1978 Lada 1200 instead.

womanofdulwich Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 There is a shop near the LLane Sainsburys called, I think, East European foods, which sells quite a bit of Russian type food. Worth going to just to see the phalus shaped bottle of liquor on the shelf behind the counter. Ideal Christmas present for your jovial uncle.

StraferJack Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 There was a Potemkin russian restaurant Farringdon way for a while. It wasn't very good. Food (stews! Starch!) was ok, but the basement setting, damp smell and distinctly underwhelming service did it no favoursBaltic on Blackfriars Road maybe?
