Dill - it is the national pride of Russians, writes Reuters. Russian cuisine is so full of dill that some linguists polushutku believe that the name of the plant comes from the word "sprinkle", that is, to sprinkle. And right to this herb with a special flavor was present only in Russian cuisine - so no!
Russians add dill and Greek salad, and Italian pizza and even Mexican burritos. Russian citizens are so accustomed to the taste of dill, they can not imagine any food without his participation.
According to statistics, the average Russian eats for the year 1, 6 kg of dill - a suitcase full of greenery. Moreover, a member of the agricultural company "AGROTIP" Olga Antipova suggests that this figure is underestimated, since it is impossible to count all the fennel, which is grown in private gardens in the village and then sold in the markets. Antipov also suggested that dill is popular only in Russia, since it practically does not export ships.
Employee "AGROTIP" was right - most of the foreigners not only buys the green seasoning, but also sincerely hates her. For example, on Facebook, a special group called Dillwatch, whose members spread in the Internet pictures of dishes, which, in their opinion, the use of dill inappropriate. Founder of the group Briton Sean Walker believes that the Russians do not feel the action in the use of dill.
"Dill plague" flourishes not only in the provincial eatery, but in fashionable Moscow restaurants. Most of my friends say it is at least strange circumstance. Despite numerous complaints, which we left in the cafes and restaurants throughout Russia, it is unlikely that the dominance of dill is declining - says the founder of Dillwatch.
