Met some people from Russia at Negril Beach Club Condos a few years ago...the ladies spoke little english, the man was a little easier to converse with..they all smiled and had a great time.
One day he did mention they did not like rice with every meal and I asked if they had been across the road to Fatties?
They tried it and loved the cabbage/veg mix she has with the meals. Options are there if you look around. Although I am not Russian by heritage, I do love borscht and I add scotch bonnets for
a Jamaican kick... Out of many, one people.... variety is the spice of life.
