Three weeks ago, I wrote about how Russia was a great country for soups... well, that was before we ordered the fish soup from a restaurant that was recommended to me. Here is what we got:
If you are not sure about what you ordered because of the language barrier, this soup has the advantage of being self explanatory: it is indeed a fish soup. The recipe? I can't tell for sure, but that must include boiling water, adding onions and a fish, and serving hot. This soup is called "Ucha", certainly named after the sound that people make when they choke on a fish bone (Ucha! Ucha!).
I wonder what the chicken soup looks like in that restaurant.

Yep. That is a no doubt about it fish soup. It's not like you could order the fish soup, have that turn up and say 'this is not what I ordered'.
Do you have a picture of what's left after you ate it? I wonder!
Oh my gosh! This is too funny! You had me in tears! Sounds like you are exploring the entire country over there!
chouch, the picture works both for before and after I 'ate' it. Michelle, sorry for the tears... that must be the onions.
Ah, the old Russian joke: Waiter, there's an omoul in my soup!
Keep up the great food stories. How's the Russian beer? Better than Busch? -DJ
