"MASLENITSA

— Holmes, you know something about Russian cuisine?
— Of course, Watson. I am the largest expert in the world in the field of poisons. I joke, I joke. Russian cuisine very at our English look specific. But especially strikes that Russians fry kefir.
— Forgive what they fry?
— Kefir. I observe the next English analog it — our yogurt.
— Why to fry yogurt, Holmes?
— Elementary, Watson. They still add flour, eggs, soda and salt to yogurt. As a result at Russians very strange dish under the name pancakes turns out. I observe the next English analog it — sandwich.


— That is you, Holmes, now seriously utverzhat that if Mrs. Hudson roasts yogurt tomorrow morning, will add to it some egg, then we for breakfast will have sandwiches? Same absurdity!
— He agrees. But Russians without these pancakes cannot live. They through each word have a pancake, pancake, pancake. Here try, Watson, in each offer to squeeze several times the word "sandwich". And they insert! Besides Russians have a whole holiday devoted to this to food, unclear for us. Maslenitsa is called. Something like the Oktoberfest at Germans. Only without beer. Then they burn it.
— Whom?!
— This Maslenitsa. But at first the pancakes eat the whole week. Also eat about the same as weigh.
— But easily it is possible to die of such quantity. I as the military surgeon to you approve it.
— No, they do not die. That to Russian it is healthy, to the Englishman a diarrhea. By the way, on the previous holiday Russians unanimously dive into an ice-hole. Then for this Maslenitsa come up from it and go to eat pancakes. And then arrange a flare show and dance around fire.
— Holmes, I a lot of interesting saw in India, but it what you tell just about cannot be!
— And it is yet not all information on Russians and their kitchen. Still they do small pancakes on water. Also call them pancakes.
— That is they fry water?
— No, they do pancakes by means of flat stones which are thrown into the sea.
— Holmes, I understand nothing any more. Drop to me hundred drops of valerian drops for calm. Is not present splash brandy better. At once three portions splash!
