    It's not just in Russia, Svetlana. In the US the prices of everything has gone up a lot. I bought eggs on Saturday and I paid $6.00 for an 18 pack of good quality large eggs. They were on sale and are normally $8.00. In the US, cow tongue is popular to put in Mexican tacos, they call it lengua. I remember when they used to be very cheap, just a couple dollars. Now with traditional Mexican food being more and more popular, they are much more expensive now. I do not drink, maybe once a year or so, so I have no idea how much alcohol costs. I would love to see how much a modest 2 bedroom apartment costs and even a small modest Dacha in the countryside.

    The price of food in general. I also think since a lot more people are eating authentic Mexican food, or traditional dishes, not just Mexicans, the price of the ingredients have gone up. Supply and demand, I guess.

    Today I bought 1.5 liters of Filippo Berio organic extra virgin olive oil from UK Costco for £9 pounds. Last couple of years Olive oil prices gone up extortionately. Beef tongue is very tasty in sandwiches and soups, it is high in protein and very low in fat. Usually buy it from Turkish markets. Mission Tortilla wraps sold here in UK (Sainsbury's) in exactly same packaging for £1.7 pound a pack.

    the Turkish "olive" oil isn't olive oil at all, but a scam prepared with seed oil and additions. Some "Italian" restaurants were caught buying this cheap fake stuff. Due to many bad harvests last years because of dry weather, prices have gone up drastically.

    Thanks for the video. Based on salary, those prices are high, but manageable. Since I like good things and don't like to pay premium prices, I tend to buy and freeze many items that I like when they go on sale. I wonder if having a freezer is a thing for Russians. I buy 1/4 steer about every 1 1/2 years and the pork and chicken from the grocery store when its on sale, usually deep discount on the sell or freeze by date. Same thing with frozen veggies, good bread and other frozen items I eat. Yes, I'm a cheap skate but don't like to skimp on quality.

No GMO's, I've had fresh from the cow unpasteurized milk, more ketchup varieties than you can imagine, fruit that tastes like it was just picked at the bizarres. There's a reason everyones getting sick and fat in the US. Something else I must remind people, those prices are not per pound, but per KILO!! That's per 2.2 lbs.

    Hi Svetlana, a pretty Russian woman! You are very level headed, tell things as they are without getting yourself into trouble with the Russian Gestapo. In my opinion the conditions (groceries, environment, entertainment, social scene) in St. Petersburg, Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, are maintained by the Putine regime at a European standard to falsely create an illusion of prosperity and vitality in the face of sanctions for murdering tens of thousands of Russia's peaceful neighbors! Please you do not have to respond. Your 'Mommy-Land' eats her own children! The Russian 'Mommy-Land' has sent almost a half a million of her sons, brothers, husbands, fathers, into the worst horror the world has seen since your Great War against the Germans. Russia under your leader Putine, is now a fascist state, killing and imprisoning his opponents, beating your neighbors and family who may utter the least opposition to Putine's war. I am sad for you and people who are trapped in the Orwellian State but your men have been castrated by Putine, and now are mere 'Damsels in Distress', cowering from police, from conscription, in neighboring countries bullied by Russia, cowering in trenches! Your 'men' must get together, communicate, connect, consult with Ukraine and MARCH on the Kremlin! Good luck Svetlana, and take care!

Or milk from a well known brand can cost €2 for 1l and for the home brand it's only €1 for 1l...

    Good Afternoon Dear Svetlana, Still about Leek, in Portugal, depending on the region, two names are used, in the North of the country it is called Leek ("alho porro" in Portuguese), or French garlic in the Southern part of the country ("alho francês" in Portuguese). The products there in Russia are a little cheaper than here at Auchan in Portugal, 1 Euro is equivalent to 100 Rubles, so it is easier to understand the prices. It remains to be seen how much the price of houses and rents cost there, without this it is difficult to make comparisons of the cost of living. Good year 2024 with health and peace.

    Beef Tongue is popular in South Africa. Remember, our Christmas and New Year is SUMMERTIME. During this time we prepare most meat and salads the night before Christmas. (At least when it start cooling down) My niece like to prepare the Tongue. With that she make a Mustard Sauce. I don't eat Tongue but can't resist her mustard sauce. I prepare the easiest meat. Not sure what to call it. Normally a big piece of beef, soaked in salty water for 2 days. One only boil it. I found it normally too salty. Boil it for a while and change the water. Cooking time depend on size. I order 2kg. I slice a piece off at home while boiling. Small size stay at home in the fridge. My sister will cook a leg of lamb, stuffed with pieces of garlic. She also cook the pork. Big piece of pork, spiced and bake it in the oven. And maybe we'll have a chicken as well. When we were little I saw how my uncle kill a turkey. Since then, I never ate Turkey again. All the meat is sliced, covered with alcan foil or cling wrap. Lunchtime we take all the food out, everyone take whatever they want. When done, it goes back in the fridge. We were normally a lot of people and the swimming will continue from 3pm. Before that time the UV rays are at it's worst. The 26th we'll get together again and 'try' to finish the leftover food and desert. We have at least 2 watermelons. Yummy! I lost track of prices. I have an allergy for dairy products. (Ice cream too!) I try to remember to rat at least 2 eggs per week. That is for the natural vitamin A in it - which will help with the next virus (called X) Big Pharma started working on a vaccine for it.

But if i compare GDP per capita, in my country we earn on average 5.5 times more than the normal russian.

    The dealerships are located out side of the city centers because there is land available since most cities were filled in long before there were cars.. Cars are not such a high priority because the excellent public transportation is more effective in city centers but people who live out in the sleeping districts are more likely to have cars because shopping and work are more spread out. There are several Russian brands of cars but the European and US brands which had factories here did well until the US threatened them with sanctions if they kept their factories in Russia. Ford's most profitable division, with 3 factories here shut down all of them overnight at a substantial loss. Owners of European and US brand cars suddenly found they could no longer repair them because spare parts were on the US sanction lists. Sanctions by the US started in 2004 and not one of the 32,000 sanctions have been dropped. So western cars will never be popular again, they are too unreliable because any investment in them by a family can be turned into a major loss at any moment. Two years ago however, Chinese brands opened showrooms ad suddenly they became very popular because they generally look nice, with great features, fit and trim. China suddenly has become the largest car makers in the world both ICE and EV. So suddenly all these nice looking full size SUVs with logos not familiar to us have become dominate in the market, not just in Russia but world wide. Between Tesla and the 6 top Chinese brands, they have taken over the auto market world wide and the western legacy brands are all seeing dramatic declines in sales. In 5 years all the Japanese, most Korean, all European and US non-Tesla brands will be out of business. The highest selling model of all brands is the Tesla Model Y but Chinese brand BYD has the largest world wide share of sales across all models. Several of my friends who recently bought their first cars, all got Chinese brands and inspecting them, and the fit and trim, it is really bad news for Europe, Japan and US, they can't compete. My long time actor friend called me a few months ago saying she was coming over to show me her new car. If did not recognize is but a careful inspection it was very impressive in materials and design of the interior and under the hood.. Very little plastic. Hers is a Geely and she is loving it. I was a car nut for many decades and has the worlds largest private collection of restored Italian GTs by Maserati, plus dozens of other cars before giving everything away to move to St Petersburg Russia and never bothered with getting a car or wanting one since the public transportation system is so good, reliable and cheap. Growing up in the US, not having a car meant one as truly missing out on 95% of life because it is the only country without usable public transport. But it also greatly isolates Americans from life and culture. Electricity is cheap here so EV will become the standard within 5-6 years. Gasoline is relatively cheap also.

    In Norway we can buy sliced beef tongue in packages, same as sliced ham and such. It is really good! We used to be able to buy whole tongues, which is better, but our shops are so bad so everything disappears eventually. We had boiled tongue every christmas, in slices and served on bread. Delicious! The sliced ones in plastic packages taste the same, but they are more dry and sliced in thinner slices, good but not the best. For those who have beef tongue in your countries and don't dare to try it, just do it! It is nothing disgusting about it at all. Sausages are much worse, if you think about it. What is real sausage skin made of? Yes, exactly! So beef tongue is not even the slightest disgusting. It is just a piece of meat that taste very good and is extremely tender and moist.

    There was quite a lot of cross-pollination. Foreign corporations were buying local producers and brands, Russian corporations acquired licenses for foreign brands and technologies... no clear-cut border. Perhaps the only way to compare is to purchase products locally in each country, and then bring them all to a common table (impossible?).

    The difference is the foreign brands had long lists of chemicals that were added and Russian brands are all non-GMO and have few if any chemical added. It seems that Russians know a lot about food, most families had country dachas where gardens are tended in the summer. The kids would go to the dacha in the summer with Grand mother and learned about food and nature and in early fall collected dozens of types of forest mushroom to take back to the city

    But there are far more desperately poor in the US with much lower salaries and 10-100 times more for-cost services. So in general Russian families are more financially secure, have far less debt, have more free time, travel more and have safe neighborhoods.

    Also there are so many more options, not just big mega stores but neighborhood bakeries, butcher shops etc in every neighborhood. Generally the food tastes like food used to, and it is fresher than the big chain stores in the US. The vegetables look good but have no flavor in the US because everything it picked before it is ripe so it can travel thousands of miles to 83 food distribution centers, then back. I grew up in California that provided 80% of fresh vegetables for the US. Years ago the farm was a hour away so they were picked ripe and you got it the next day if you lived in that state. Now food warehouses are national so those fresh tomatoes have to be picked green and shipped to the mid west, then back to stores only a couple miles from where it was grown and picked unripe. Look around, people really do not look good, poor health, fat, sickly etc. It was not like that 50 years ago even in the US. Here, you will not see out of shape people unless elderly, and only sometimes. Here, everyone is fit, healthy and happy and that changes everything in quality of life and the general mental state of the people.

    Beef tongue is good. I used to work at Canada Packers in the sausage kitchen and we made headcheese using beef tongue and meat from the cheeks of pigs. I think the beef tongue tasted like corned beef. We would heat the tongue in hot water and an outer rough layer would peel off. That is how I recollect it from 1976. I could be mistaken . We made baloney. The master in the kitchen would actually make the baloney mix and wieners and pepperoni. We fed the mix for baloney into a big funnel on this machine and then held the outer skin in place while it was injected. Then I think they cooked it somewhere. We also made garlic sausage and they used cleaned intestines for the outer skin. Also a mix called devon was used to make baloney but on wiki now they say devon is Australian. I am sure we made baloney with devon mix.
