Let's talk food

We are all now part of the global market; that didn't make us closer but rather made our lives similar in many ways. We dress alike and watch the same movies and franchised TV shows. Even the supermarkets are more or less filled with the same food items. Imagine what a shock it was for an American to visit Europe just 100 years ago. Now, you are more shocked at all the similarities you notice when travelling.  But when I think of a Russian Supermarket, two items are noticeably missing: peanut butter and maple syrup. Surprisingly so, as Russian people love peanuts and enjoy pancakes and waffles. And what food item commonly sold in Russia you’re not likely to find in your local supermarket - caviar.
