August 11, 2021 - a local teacher invited me to go on a walk with her, and then we had dinner together! The plate closest to the camera is manti (манты). They are like dumplings and you can put different things inside. Mine had meat (beef) and onions. Then there is a Greek salad (греческий салат) and naan (тандыр-нан, the bread) behind the manti. The dish my teacher friend ordered is called ashlan-fu (ашлян-фу). It is a cold noodle dish which can be spicy. And the pitcher that you can partly see on the left side has compote (компот) in it, which is a sweet fruit drink. It has always been served cold when I have had it, I think because it is currently summer. I didn’t try her dish because I thought it might be weird to ask, but everything I had was very good 😀
