-
Zakuski translates as small bites, and the mix of one- or two-morsel choices on a single table or tray: hot and cold, homemade and store bought, aggressively seasoned and totally mellow. It is a Russian tradition dating from Tolstoys time, is food made for drinkers, although teetotalers would have a hard time resisting temptation. The usual array laid out to pick and choose from includes savory, salty or highly seasoned snacks such as smoked salmon, stuffed eggs, meatballs, vegetable caviars, small servings of salad or big wedges of hot cheese or mushroom pie. The flavors are always dramatic but complementary, and the contrasting textures only amplify the experience of playing with food. Russians eat Zakusi while drinking vodka.
