Oh that's terrible. BWHAHAHAHAHA! :D

[dasmi]

Tokarev, pickle, fish, vodka. Lethal combination.

[Moonclip]

Looks like a good combo to me! I've always liked Tokarevs and vodka to a certain extent. The limited amount of Russian food I've tried has been ok too.

[CAnnoneer]

What a perfect metaphorical representation of Russia:

1) simple
2) practical
3) austere
4) militaristic
5) bookish
6) stark
7) bleak

Btw, the inscription on top reads "Soviet Radio-Wagon"

[MrTuffPaws]

Ha, I love this one:

Aaahahaha! That's a riot. :D

[larry starling]

Thats funny! :eek:

[grimjaw]

In Russia, you don't shoot gun, gun shoots you!

Yakov Smirnoff tribute, since we're being looney.

jmm

MrTuffPaws: That is very "tacky-tal". Too funny. :p :p :p

Good picture, Max. I know Mr. Burgasov was a member on TFL at one time.

Do you know what the small round object below the plate is? It could be significant to the meaning of the photo.

[mzmtg]

It's a glass of vodka...

[GunGoBoom]

no, he means the little disk to the right of the glass.

[xring04]

firearms and alcohol do not mix well.




that said, neat pic.

[Warren]

C'mon why assume it is vodka? It could be water, right?


Right?


Anyone?

[Warren]

That disk looks alot like a commendation for something or other.

[pauli]

looks like a bottlecap to me.

[Third_Rail]

Here2Learn, water? Ever been to Russia? Clear isn't the right color for water. :uhoh:

[Mal H]

Here2learn - I was thinking it looked like a commendation or medal of some type also. It also looks like it could be a Napoleonic decoration of some type.

Or - it could be a poker chip. ;) Afterall everything in that photo is a gamble of one sort or another. :)

[TimboKhan]

C'mon why assume it is vodka? It could be water, right?

haha... it could be Gin too.

[max popenker]

It is some sort of pin. maybe a "distinguished shooter" or "DOSAAF member", can't see.

[Mal H]

haha... it could be Gin too.That is a definite possibility. I think there were around 4 or 5 bottles of gin sold in Russia over the past year. Could be some of that batch.
;)

[Omega]

Well, I am wondering if someone knows what is on the plate next to pickles?
Very russian/ukrainian component...

[Daniel T]

Looks like fish to me. Pickled herring maybe?

[pezo]

creamed herring sounds good. :rolleyes:

[CAnnoneer]

It may also be pig fat - bacon without muscle tissue.

[Omega]

nope :)

[max popenker]

The white slices on the plate are indeed pig fat - or, as it known in Russia and Ukraine, "Salo" or "Schpick". Well salted, sometimes with black pepper, and frozen until hard, it is one of the most preferred vodka companions over here ;)

[CAnnoneer]

It is absolutely delicious too. It tastes great with salt and freshly-baked bread, as well as in heavy winter dishes, such as thick beans soups. When the snow is above your knee, you need the energy...

[Omega]

CAnnoneer - I am sorry - did not see your post on page 2. You're right.

Max - very good description. I just ordered 2 bottles of 'Russian Standart" because of your post :p
in 2002 I liked it very much, is it still good?

[max popenker]

Omega, im not that big into vodka, i'm more of a beer OR brandy man myself ;)
However, 'Russian Standard' is still pretty good, and i usually buy a .5 bottle if i expect some valuable guests (such as my dad ;))
