Specialists “Vesta” Social Assistance Centre in role of military chefs work in field kitchen
An annual Field Kitchen contest dedicated to the Great Victory Day was organized upon the initiative of Nizhnekamsk District Administration last weekend. Specialists “Vesta” Social Assistance Centre for Family and Children traditionally took active part in the event.
Mobile field kitchen trailers were disposed in the open air in the Central Park of Nizhnekamsk. Field Kitchen chefs offered guests of the event buckwheat porridge and canned stewed meat.
The Red Army diet had several staples, which were often traditional in origin and simple to prepare: kasha - a buckwheat porridge that was boiled and could be flavored with meat, Okroshka - a cold soup of raw vegetables, boiled potatoes, meat, and kvas- which is a fermented beverage made from black bread, immensely popular in Russia, tyurya - similar to okroshka, but with bread soaked in kvas instead of vegetables.
