Pancakes, porridge and cheesecakes: "Russian breakfasts" may appear in hotels in Russia The Ministry of Industry and Trade proposed to create a separate category with traditional dishes on the menus of hotels, cafes and restaurants. Such a breakfast may include porridge, pancakes, cheesecakes, cottage cheese, fermented baked milk, pies, meat and fish dishes, kvass and fruit drinks, as well as rolls, seiki and bagels. The ministry notes that now Russian establishments more often offer continental, English and French breakfasts. Russian cuisine and the gastronomic traditions of individual regions of the Russian Federation are represented much less frequently. The initiative should help tourists get to know Russian cuisine and products from local producers. They also plan to develop a special icon for "Russian breakfasts".
