There are a few Russian grocery stores near where I live. When I first moved to the US, I was very surprised by this. I thought that Americans didn't like Russians. You don't see many Russian restaurants, at least not around where I live. I went to Coney Island once and it was all Russian. It's right at the Atlantic Ocean so maybe they don't feel comfortable further inland. Personally, I don't feel comfortable so close to the water, so I guess we're even.
If there are no Russian restaurants it must be because either people don't want to eat Russian food, which I can understand, or people do want to eat Russian food but prefer to make it at home. Home cooked meals are more nutritious, so I can understand that.
I don't like Russian food because it is too heavy. When you spend most of your day stretching and posing in heavy spandex, you don't want to be too full and you don't want to have a Babuschka belly, if you know what I mean. My daughter once told me I look fat. I was mortified, but it was true. I'd been eating too much pizza. We have a couple of really good pizzerias near where we live. I've now since cut back and my belly is gone. It also helps to wear a girdle. If you get a good one, and I'm talking some major bucks, you can even where it under your spandex and nobody will know, even you.
