The Ministry of Industry and Trade, which is supposed to deal with aircraft, machines and micro circuits, recommended that hotels, pensions, cafes and restaurants include in their menus "Russian breakfast": porridge, pancakes, cheesecakes, kulbiaki, kvass. It does not apply to ethnic enterprises - Georgian, Japanese, Italian. We are already being advised what to wear. How many children to have, how and when. Now - what's up? Good thing they recommend it and don't force it. But the implementation is entrusted to the regional and municipal authorities. For them, from recommendation to requirement is one step. Advising hotels through local authorities about what to serve for breakfast has never been thought of anywhere else in the world. In Thailand and Italy, the restaurants themselves ask for a mark of conformity to the national cuisine, in order to use it later in advertising. I love Russian cuisine. But I don't like it when friends from the office interfere with my plate, my personal life, my bed. Oleg Tsarev. Telegram and Max.
