    I am suddenly reminded of an ad for a restaurant in some local city that was something along the lines of: “come sample the taste of the USSR which, unlike their inspirations, actually exist!” Communism is when no food, huh?

      i wonder if there were any restaurants from within the former USSR countries that took the following Western “civilized detectables” as inspiration:

      avert your eyes if you can't handle the delectables

      (surstromming)

      (schnitzel)

      who am I kidding, there weren’t and probably aren’t any lol

        don’t know for sure, was born after it’s collapse so never had a chance to visit. Never been to China, DPRK, Laos, Vietnam or Cuba either because travelling is expensive (thanks capitalism!), but doubt that the people there would bother with shit like that tbh
