Taste of culture
The “Welcome to the Urals” forum is ending at USUE. Today, students from the USUE Preparatory Faculty learned how to cook the traditional Russian dish “kroshka-kartoshka”.
The university organized a master class on cooking Russian national cuisine for international students from Senegal, Vietnam, Turkey, Cameroon, and other countries. Ilya Korzhavin, an engineer at the USUE Department of Food Technology, chose the recipe himself, which the students will probably use many more times.
“It seems to me that few foreigners are familiar with such a style of cooking potatoes as baking. This style is not only easy to apply but also accessible to everyone. It will go well with vegetables and meat, as well as with cheese. And, of course, potatoes have been popular in Russia for many centuries. You could say it is a classic,” Ilya Korzhavin notes.
The USUE engineer taught foreigners that you can put whatever you want in baked potatoes: carrots, beets, cabbage, cheese, eggs, and even herring butter.
One of the first to try his prepared dish was a student of the USUE Preparatory Faculty Samed Dashdemir. In August, he came to Yekaterinburg from Turkey. Now the young man has started to learn Russian and Russian culture. He has never tried “kroshka-kartoshka”.
“The master class was fun. I put beets, eggs, and cheese in my dish. And the potatoes turned out delicious!” Samed says.
By the way, Turkey also has its own baked potato. This dish is called kumpir. The Turks add it with fried sausages with tomato paste, olives, grated cheese, and various sauces.
Sociocultural adaptation of foreign citizens is one of the key goals of the forum. Besides the master class, students were also told about Russian culture and poets. The forum ended with a festival of Russian culture.
The project “Welcome to the Urals!” is implemented by the regional fund for supporting initiatives of Eurasian youth seconded by the Department of Domestic Policy of the Sverdlovsk region. The major partner of the forum is Ural State University of Economics. The project aims to study the problems of knowledge on the peculiarities of migration legislation, norms and rules of conduct of the host community.
