25 СЫТНЫХ СОВЕТСКИХ ЗАВТРАКОВ ДЛЯ ЛЕСОРУБОВ, О КОТОРЫХ СЕЙЧАС ВСЕ ЗАБЫЛИ

What did lumberjacks in the Soviet logging industry really eat? 25 breakfasts served at four in the morning—before a shift in -30 degrees Celsius. The logging camp cook rose at half past two in the morning to feed eighty-four people before the trucks took the teams to the logging site. This video shows her entire meal: daily cabbage soup from a Russian stove, pearl barley "shrapnel," tormozok in her bosom, head cheese, blood pudding after slaughter, kulesh at four in the morning, and "polennitsa"—pancakes with layers of bacon. With prices in kopecks, standards in cubic meters, and techniques that have disappeared from our kitchens without a trace. People who burned 7,000–9,000 calories a day ate what gave them strength—and this menu kept half the country on their feet.
