A typical Russian dinner might include some type of meat pie, such as Kulebyaka, a hearty soup, such as Borscht, wheat bread, and, perhaps, a kissel for dessert.
Original and varied, Russian cuisine is famous for exotic soups, cabbage schi and solyanka, which is made of assorted meats. Russians are great lovers of pelmeni, small Siberian meat pies boiled in broth.
