Many Russian desserts are prepared with fruits and berries, for example, baked apples with vanilla or apples baked with honey. Also popular are forest berries with whipped cream; homemade curds with berries, fruits, honey and whipped cream; cranberry kissel with ice cream and raspberry liqueur. The old recipes include the Guryevskaya kasha, a dish based on semolina. Boiling milk and cream are poured over semolina and the mixture is left to stand for 15 minutes. Then the semolina is sliced, milk skins are sandwiched in between the layers. The whole is then covered with jam or honey and sprinkled with nuts, candied fruits and spices, and pieces of fresh fruit are put on top. The more layers and ingredients, the more delicious is the dish. This dessert dish was made in honour of the victory over Napoleon in the war of 1812.

There are different variations of eating outside. One, of course, is the picnic. Food is packed in a basket, drinks are brought in a cooker, and the family goes to the countryside for the afternoon.
The clambake is a special kind of cookout that originated on the Eastern seashore. A fire is built in a pit, and rocks in the pit are heated. The rocks are covered with a layer of seaweed. The clams, lobsters, and other seafood are put on the top of the seaweed and the whole thing is covered with a heavy cloth to keep the heat and moisture in and bake the seafood.
The barbecue – made famous in the American West – is a cookout where a single large piece of meat such as a side of beef is roasted on a spit over on open fire. The spit has a handle, and it is turned slowly as the meat roasts. Special barbecue sauces are often applied to the meat as it roasts.

International, or “ethnic”, dishes have become popular with Americans in recent years. Of course, Americans cook them their own way. The French might not recognize the croissants served at McDonald’s, for example. And indeed, throughout US history, certain foreign foods have become all American favourites, pizza comes from Italy, and the first fried chicken in America was probably cooked by Africans.
Tabbouleh is not so popular or well known as pizza. But some Americans like it because they consider it a health food: it is made from only natural, not processed foods. More and more Americans are interested in foods that have spent more time at the farm than at the factory.

Health foods may be popular today because many Americans became tired of processed foods. Canned, frozen, and processed foods became very popular in the United States in the 1950s. At that time, the American food industry tried to convince American cooks that these foods were more timesaving, modern, and safe. And those values were more important to most Americans than the taste of the food. The time saved by opening a can of peas was more important to busy housewives than the better taste of fresh peas, which take more work in the kitchen. And the economy of the United States changed so that it actually became cheaper to buy canned or frozen peas than fresh ones.
What do Americans eat today? Many, who grew up eating food out of a can, prefer frozen pizzas, potato chips, and TV dinners. Others prefer “plain old American food,” which usually means something like simply cooked meat with potatoes and vegetables cooked separately. At the same time, some Americans have become interested in other kinds of foods, such as health foods and international foods.

This is doubly true on the shopping front, where baubles from Borneo, boots from Brazil and ball gowns from Bill Blass can be all found within the same city block.

Picture exotic golden birds trailing brilliantly coloured plumage made of semiprecious stones, dragonflies with delicate wings made of luminous blue and pink opals; and even tiny golden flies so realistic you can almost hear the buzz.
