1970 Glee Club European tour...staying in a youth hostel just off Red Square. The food in Moscow was so bad we survived eating from a donut stand in Red Square run by an old lady. Donuts were pretty good!
I was fortunate enough to have a Russian grandmother and great aunt here in the United States. First she taught me that Communists are evil. Second, she made amazing Russian food. So Russian food is delicious when made by a czarist Russian.
