VEGETABLE TANGO.
VEGETABLE TANGO.
Improbable adventures of vegetarians in Russia.
It would seem - what only exotic you will not see in the capital
Restaurants.
Any whim, any whim and vykrutas a choosy gourmet
Can be executed, even if it has dreamt in a terrible dream. And
Blood of a cobra, and heart of a turtle, and supchik buajbes, and a sauce from
Truffles, and a wild bison, marinaded in apple vinegar, move
On a table, it is necessary to know places only.
Imaginations come and leave, but there is a group of citizens, for
Which exotic food not minute whim, and daily
Necessity. It is a question of vegetarians.
The vegetarian kitchen and really has passed in the exotic category.
Similar, Moscow cooks practically ignore it
Existence. The number of adherents of a vegetarian food grows
Also spreads, and to find the decent menu considering interests by this
Population parts, much more difficult than to try a liked dish
Napoleon or a tribe a curbstone-jumba.
Vegetarians, as is known, happen two types: strict and
"Weakened". The last afford liberties: some
Have tabooed only meat, but wish to regale on fish.
Others do not eat "everything, that with eyes", but egg or sour cream
Absorb with pleasure. And only the most consecutive, strict
Vegetarians exclude any products of an animal from the diet
Origins. Such - direct road in "Dzhagannat".
"Dzhagannat" - unique restaurant for today in
To Moscow, made vegetarian kitchen main and
Unique specialisation. The institution offers enough
The wide choice of dishes and drinks of useful property also applies on
Loud rank of "the eutrophy and dialogue centre".
Atmosphere here indeed pacifying: the eclectic east
Design with Buddhist ornaments on walls, soft light, dear
Waitresses. Wishing to plunge into secret secrets east
Kitchens can reserve a classical Indian dinner (210 rbl.),
Switching on five dishes: soup has given, sabdzhi karri, shak-panir, vegetable
pakoru and rice-basmati. To adherents of the European style I will advise
Nut salad - leaves of salad of three kinds with sweet pepper,
The fresh tomatoes, plentifully strewed keshju, walnuts and
Filled with nut butter (180 rbl.) French is very good
Soup on a vegetable broth with spinach, field mushrooms and fragrant
grenkami (180 rbl.) On to take hot are possible a goulash from
vysokoochishchennogo wheaten fiber in sweet-sour sauce (120
Rbl.). Well and for fans of a simple slavic meal is available
Potato fried with mushrooms and tomatoes (120 rbl.), a potato
Boiled, baked in the swept away sauce with house cheese and
Spices (150 rbl.), vegetarian pelmeni: and fried, and
Steam (120 rbl.), and not less vegetarian borsch (90 rbl.).
The institution very much is proud of the makrobioticheskim bread (30 rbl.)
From sprouted wheat with sea salt on the natural fermental
To ferment. For especially choosy dishes here prepare, in
Which even cream - a phytogenesis.
The separate attention is given those clients, who meat all the same
Likes, but is it for any reasons cannot: the long list
Dishes from soya meat (165-180 rbl.), a soya stake in kljare with
kartoshechkoj (210 rbl.) and simply soya baked with dairy sauce
(120 rbl.). Incorrigible mjasoedke to estimate advantages of these viands
Rather inconveniently, therefore eat them.
As the restaurant positions itself as the centre not only
Eutrophy, but also correct dialogue, the people far from
So irreproachable perfection, should be prepared to
To test. The polite waitress will warn at once, that meal
Prepares long enough: twenty, and even forty minutes. If you
Hurry up, at your service salad-bar. One approach from the big
Plate - 210 roubles, with small - 120 roubles. But if you all
taki have decided to wait, expectation can turn to torture, for in
"Dzhagannate" it is forbidden to smoke. Alcohol too at all is absent,
But a choice of various teas, grassy infusions and svezhevyzhatyh
Juice it is huge. I advise to reserve lassi - sour-milk Indian
Cocktail. For example, a variant "Calcutta": bioyogurt, black pepper,
Black salt, white salt, cucumber, kumin and greens. Very much freshens and
Raises appetite. However, costs such cucumber kefirchik 120
Roubles for a glass.
One more east oasis for vegetarians - "Emerald
The Buddha ". Thai cuisine masterpieces in local execution look very much
Even it is quite good, and is from what to choose, though the supper will manage
More expensively. It is possible to reserve a dish for two - for example, Chinese
Cabbage, zharennuju in oyster sauce with mushrooms (14$), or tsukkini
In kljare with Thai salsoj from fresh vegetables (15$). A local hit -
Sharp salad from a green papaya with nutlets keshju and a peanut (12$).
However, to try it it is possible not to everyone: salad seldom happens
Available, as in Moscow green papajju in the afternoon with fire not
You will find. But always there is a spicy soup with field mushrooms, noodles,
Tomatoes, coconut milk and Thai spices (10$) -
The present obedenie. In general, the dishes prepared on the such
Milk, are very tasty (though, probably, on the fan). From the hot
On a choice: or field mushrooms, or tsukkini, or a cauliflower,
tushennye in coconut milk with tomatoes, an onion and sharp pepper
chilli (8-10$). Prepare here quickly, to drink and smoke it is possible without
Have got tired, and to the basic order, by Thai tradition, add still
And a flat dish of fresh fig.
The European restaurants to allocate vegetarian kitchen in
Separate position whether hesitate, whether forget. Exceptions
It is possible to re-read on fingers, for example - restaurant "ц ц б б ц?ц ц б б ц ".
However, it is in one of luxurious hotels in the centre
Cities, and with foreigners, as is known, not zabaluesh. In the West
Every fifth - the vegetarian. Though in corresponding section of the menu
Only three names: a shish kebab from vegetables with sauce pesto and
Tomato salsoj (11,50$), a vegetable lasagna (15$) and a paella on -
vegetarianski (13,50$).
Other restaurants give to the clients independently
To be picked the menu, trying to discover suitable dishes. Alas, too often
Searches come to an end tragically. In one institution in quality
Vegetarian dish to me have offered a land, in other - house
solenja, in the third - classical salad "Caesar" with izymaniem from
It slices of the chicken. Expensive restaurants, for example, "Three gudgeons"
And "Cheese", behave more delicately. In the absence of the vegetarian
Section in the constant menu there are ready to prepare any dish from
Any products under your individual order. Considering, that
The average supper without alcohol in same "Cheese" manages in 70-100$,
Before stating to the waiter the recipe, it will be quite good
To enquire about the price of prospective improvisation. Quite probably,
That the sum will force you to pass to the wrong immediately
A food.
