Here's to a Wild Wolverine Wednesday!
 
I'm surprised you used this insulting term from the Soviet era. And even more so, you called salted fish, similar to the one ate by travelers on the Mayflower, disgusting. I'd like to clarify, which of Russia's 194 national cuisines did you dislike?

Well, when you're traveling long distances by boat you haven't much of a choice.

That said, pretty sure nobody is traveling to Russia for the cuisine :) (Also... it's a joke mate). I enjoy your knives and photography and the time you take to set up your shots.

Ps, the nuances of "russkie" being offensive are lost on Americans... we just know it to mean "Russian".

Initially, this was the name given to Russian prisoners of war in Europe after the First World War. Later, it became a term for all emigrants fleeing the "Great Terror" instigated by the Bolsheviks after the Revolution. The word had a derogatory connotation, somewhat reminiscent of a beggar or homeless person from Russia.
A friend and I are currently writing an article about Russian writers in France in the late 1920s. This word often appears in French newspapers of the time.

Thank you for the kind words about the photographs. And forgive me if I got unnecessarily angry.
Russian cuisine, especially its Slavic component, is truly quite distinctive.
And to stay on topic: :)
