And really... The comment that burgers are for Americans and pasta is for Italians borders on ignorant. I guess as soon as the hotels realize I am an American of German descent, with a Jewish wife that it should be Wiener schnitzel and gefelltie fish all around.
Hussyband...Miss Anna is simply suggesting/hoping to have the option once in awhile of food they are most familiar with in Russia.
I don't believe anyone is suggesting that Italians only eat pasta, Americans only eat hamburgers...it was a simple example of common food choices in the respective countries.
If you ask the old time hoteliers...pasta was put on the local menus from the suggestion of their Italian guests.

And, you can get wiener schnitzel at a couple of locations here...I would try the German Bar at Mary Bay...
