Black bread and everyone's favorite kvass, which is still popular with our fellow citizens, are considered typically Slavic, Russian products. You will not find them and some other products abroad in supermarkets - only in shops with exotic products or in Russian restaurants and shops. Probably, each nation has exclusively its own food, which is not popular with residents of other countries. We have seven products on this list.
1. Buckwheat
This cereal has been one of the main food products since Ancient Rus. They made pies with it, cooked porridge from it and even fried it. During the Soviet era, buckwheat was a scarce commodity, so the people felt special love for it.
Nowadays, in many countries, buckwheat is used only as a component of animal feed. It is eaten only by people from Russia and some other post-Soviet countries.
2. Jellied fish or jellied meat
If you study the list of dishes included in the cuisines of different countries and states, then in none of them we will not find jellied meat, like jellied fish. The exception is the brawn among the Germans. It resembles jellied meat, but it is not prepared so often.
The thing is that in the USSR it was not always easy to find quality meat. People got out of the situation by buying pig tails, ears, hooves, and legs. A delicious dish was cooked from this assortment, which was a must on the festive table.
It is interesting! By the way, you won't be able to order jellied fish or jellied meat in restaurants abroad. Therefore, a myth appeared that only Russians eat this dish.
3. Fat
This product is loved by the inhabitants of many Slavic countries and not only those that were previously part of the Soviet Union. It is common in Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Serbia, Czech Republic.
There is something like our lard in Germany. The product is called "spig", but there is no need to compare it with what we eat.
4. Sour cream
It is very difficult to buy such a healthy and familiar sauce made from sour cream abroad. You can meet a product similar to sour cream, perhaps, in some French restaurants. It is called "fresh sauce", and this is far from what we eat every day.
It should be noted that sour cream is popular only among the Slavs, and you can find it there. You can't buy anything similar anywhere else. But how many delicious and hearty dishes you can cook with it.
5. Dried fish
Try to find dried roach or bream somewhere abroad. You don't even have to try. There it would simply be thrown away, considering it spoiled. In our country, this is the best option for beer since the days of the Soviet Union.

6. Mushrooms grown in the forest
The Soviet people were very fond of the very process of picking mushrooms in the forests. Without exception, all mushrooms, including conditionally edible ones, were sent to the basket. People prepared amazing dishes from mushrooms, mushrooms, russula, aspen mushrooms, honey mushrooms. For the most part, foreigners prefer artificially grown champignons. Only the French and Italians go for the expensive truffle. They also collect porcini mushrooms, but the latter are in very low demand. Consequently, you can buy mainly champignons there. Well, dried mushrooms for Europeans are generally nonsense.

7. Sunflower seeds
In the USSR, seeds were sold everywhere and were a favorite pastime not only for grandmothers sitting on a bench, but also for young people. However, in other countries, sunflower was grown exclusively as a raw material for vegetable oil. In some cases, peeled seeds have been added to baked goods and salads. Thanks to our emigrants and tourists, today you can already see unpeeled seeds in Turkish and American supermarkets, but this product appeared there quite recently.
By the way, other countries also have specific food products and dishes that our people consider to be at least exotic, and some completely inedible.
