You working for Russians!? Don’t you know that Belarus is occupied by Russians and tyrant Lukashenko government is murders and tortures it’s own people in prisons !? Dont you know that Russians are using Belarus territories for launching missiles in to Ukraine and killing civilians there !?
Must say that food looks great. East European food is underrated. Much better than some of the ‘nonsense’ that gets served in some west European restaurants. Excellent video 👍
Sorry to ask but I wonder what restaurants you visit? I have visit several in East and West Europe but there are some bad and some very good and tasty. I have been very sick after visit one restaurant in Crimea and another in Paris but also in the same city in other restraurant eat very good, fresh and tasty food :)
When I lived in Polotsk, I remember my Belarusian mother in law asking me if I wanted to eat golupsi. I didn't have a clue what it was and when she described it to me I thought I will try just one to be friendly. We arrived at her house and she ushered us ( me and her daughter)to the kitchen. One hot golupsi was put on a plate and put in front of me, "eat " they both said at the same time. It smelled like an old folks home and I was a little dubious. Both of them never took their eyes off me as I cut a mouthful off and put I in my mouth. OMG !!!! I will never forget the taste, it was absolutely delicious. "Eta ochen vkusna" I exclaimed. The kitchen filled with joy and happiness as the Englishman demolished five of the 'little pigeons' washed down with a bottle of alivaria zolotoy. One of my favourite memories about living in northern Belarus 🙋♂️🇧🇾🙋♂️🏴
Been following you long after I’ve left bald and Johnny . Just feel like you are a bit lest done up, a bit more genuine . Love your content . Keep your own style and creativity .
I always enjoy your Food O’clock Cantina videos. It always looks like good and real food. Good to see Denis, I remember him from Kolya’s 75th birthday party video on the Kolya the Storyteller channel. 👍
So happy to See this thank you so much i just did whole bunch of research on collective farms in the 1930s in the Soviet Union what was successful. So this is awesome
I love these videos, amazing value and quality. The dish you had we do have something similar in Bulgaria called Sarmi. For some reason, UA-cam stopped notifying me when you post videos for the past 4 months and I thought you are taking a break from filming. now I need to catch up, great content love it.
Yep, the food in the US, in the main, is absolute rubbish. Very hard to find food this good in a restaurant, and it would be very expensive. Cooking at home can be better and much more affordable. Hello to Denis! He's in his element in the Gomel region.
@@gomel47 I am originally from Toronto, Canada. I worked at a horse racing newspaper with Nina and her 2 brothers all from Belarus but came to Canada in the mid 1950’s. She always brought in very interesting ( to me ) food into the office.😃
Can't beat the value, good non-GMO food, locally sourced and cooked fresh. This is what real Net Zero is not the EV woke nonsense that's being pedaled back home. Wouldn't go back if I was paid, Eastwards is the way to go. 🙂
@@volvos60bloke No clue either.......some nonsense if you bought a Tesla you can't eat healthy, homecooked food. Sounds like an announcer from the OAN network.
Thank you for sharing. I love Belarus villages and suburbs, but the only issues I always had was the transportation. Most of the villages either have no busses and shuttles, or they have one trip per day which means you will have a hard time returning back. If you can, please make a video about how to rent a car in Belarus.
In the West, the food grown in the field next door has to be driven 150 miles in a truck to be processed. Then, and perhaps by now packaged and labelled too, it gets driven another 300 miles to be taken to some central distribution centre. Then it does another 200 miles to be distributed back to your local supermarket where you now happily pay 6 times what it originally cost, and the produce is now so road weary that it is half as nutritious as what originally left the farm gate. BUT, profits are made at each puerile step in the sordid sorry process, and that is what matters, apparently.
Great little video again IP. There’s a girl in the Gomel region who speaks amazing English with an accent too - called Katsiaryna Terehova - you’ve had a couple of mentions before in the comments on her channel. Keep the vids coming. I see Dnyapro Mogilev took a bit of beating on Monday night. No dancing on the streets after that one. 🤪😎
I’m local and do not have a clear realisation when Denis is boasting about the real Soviet food and other real Soviet things. How old is Denis to remember this? I should point out that there’s no way to compare the USSR times and today’s Belarusian reality. Modern Belarus is the worst nightmare of the USSR. Especially after 2020 political events.
Irish Partizan is merely Bald' n Bankrupt-like singing an osanna to all Soviet crap without going deeper in history and realising how terrible much of that "Soviet" shit was and still stays. Pure touristic stuff in the trodden path for more views mostly about Belarusian chow, canteens and that Soviet mold behind which there's spillt blood and murder of their forefathers.
Not saying it's perfect and there are quite a few things that I have rightfully criticised both Russian and Belarusian governments in the past but with the shitstorm about to hit the West ua-cam.com/video/3zbQ3BKt11c/v-deo.html
@@IrishPartizan Even in the shitstorm the Western societies have a better level of life than Belarus and Russia in their everage periods. it's all because of the difference in the political structures with the western kings and quinns as a tribute to tradition. While in Belarus or Russia the kings are real and they try to play chess on the world board. Russia has the biggest territory with endless natural resources and the poorest people in their majority.
@@hitrends7351 At the moment yes, but come back to me in 2-3 years. Speaking of poverty, the contrasts between thet haves and have nots is growing wider in the West. The West is heading for a full scale economic and societal collapse. If you have any sense, leave.
@@IrishPartizan Any collapse means update for the Western system. As for the moment of poverty in Russia and currently in Belarus (the reason of the enthusiasm in the video, everything is so cheap and there is no crowd in the canteen. Paradox!), well, this 'moment' has been lasting for centuries as long as Russia exists. It looks like all their governments ever have been cheating their people (those who left, explanation of a vast territory with a few people). Like 'very soon we will live much better'. And this is imperial Russian to be #1. They are born, they live and they die with this wrong idea of a better life tomorrow while the rest of the world lives today. So it's like 'tomorrow never comes'.
People WHO really lived outside of all post soviet countries understand well how amazing and cheep food in Belarus. I lived both in USA and EU and there nothing to compare. Love Belarus❤️
My son of 19 y.o. is currebtly travelling across Europe. The route is like LT, PL, CZ, AU, HU...today is enjoying fjords in Norway. The first impression he wrote from Lithuania was "everything is so cheap here" and he ment food and medicines. So Anna, amaizing food is cute and it's price is a very doubtful criterion to love Belarus if you are a Belarusian. I know in Russia BY gvrnment sets lower prices for Belarusan food than in their own country. Now tell me what BY food is 'nothing to compare'. I know I will dispel yr speculations.
@@hitrends7351 don’t fall to this obvious Russian propaganda! And don’t allow your son to travel to this God forsaken countries as Belarus and Russia , as he can get arrested there for propaganda purposes! Please be aware of Russian propaganda! It’s all lie’s
@@hitrends7351 there is a few western journalists living in Russian occupied territories of Ukrainian as well as Belarus and making this type of propaganda videos ! I don’t know this particular chaps story but I know for sure that any ordinary western tourist not allowed to enter Belarus and definitely not allowed to walk around and film just like that!
Stop stuffing yourself with this delicious grub and making my mouth drip. In fact, just the other day we had two meals in a Ruzhany canteen for mere ridiculous 6 bucks. The chow is actually "canteen-like" (it was called "the 2nd or 3d category" during the USSR) but was quite edible. But Belarus is a backward piece of autocracy, you shouldn't idealize it scratching the surface as a silly tourist.

@@IrishPartizan actually i understand your intentions to keep your blog on an upbeat note and use the Bald' Soviet hipped up legacy. For silly westerners who've never experienced Soviet life and legacy all this looks like a lot of fun. No problem with that, it's your business. But the country Belarus with its autocrat and usurper Lu and multiple deep-rooted issues, in its economy, poor salaries and pensions, its being literally part of war-waging Russia using its territories for its missiles and aircraft to shell Ukrainian cities isnt a balony sausage. It's your funeral bud.
I love cabbage rolls. Never had the Belarusian version, only Hungarian and Romanian. Good eating, high quality local ingredients. Damn, makes me want to move there.
As bad as chow in the Eest may be, pls note they cook on used frying oil and heartburn is a common problem with those Belarusian canteens. As well as those beetroots etc do not come harvested on the fields the other day but straight out of a jar or can, the borsch there is not infrequently the worst option (go taste true babushka borscht), salads with a poison called the cheapest maoyonese... Cheap chicken meat is the worst production-line anabolized meat you should avoid. Take a deeper dive in Belarusian reality mate and stop being an amazed fool for it.
Ukraine had an elected government that was overthrown in a coup in 2014, backed by Germany, the EU and US. The coup government then attempted to remove Russian as an official language. Like General Franco attempting to suppress the Basque or Catalan languages in Spain after the Spanish Civil war. Similar also to Switzerland banning the speaking of French Romansch and Italian in French Romansch and Italian regions of that country. This started the war in 2014. Dutch, French (and German) in Belgium, and French in Quebec Canada are similar examples. The Ukraine coup regime also reneged on the Minsk agreements. Similar to Germany breaking the Munich agreement in 1938. Ref Colonel Jacques Baud (Swiss Intelligence) - The Military Situation In The Ukraine - The Postil Magazine
@@rjames3981 Russians were not suppressed in Ukraine. They nade Ukranian the only official country language but all the nationalities living in Ukraine were free to communicate and learn any language they liked. Russian language was dominating in sone parts of Ukraine and noone pushed people there to not to use it. But if there was someone who did nit know the official country language, they had to learn the basics of that. All FSU countries are considered by the current Russian administration as the territories of Russian influence, but they want to get rid of this disballance. It's close to the colonial system fall in the Western world in the 60th 20 century.
HiTrends - There are several articles about the situation, including an excellent article from Colonel Jacques Baud (ex UN and NATO adviser and Swiss Strategic Intelligence) in the Postil Magazine back in April. See below. ‘The Military Situation In The Ukraine’ - The Postil Magazine
About the memorial in the end: And if they would have survived the nazi occupation era, they would have been killed in soviet gulag labour camps after being punished by the heavy hand of Article 58. Utterly ridiculous to make a memorial for the people who did not have time left to end up to gulag.
With what’s going on in Ukraine 🇺🇦 I think you are a nice good guy , But I’am not proud of a fellow Irish ☘️ Man Making blogs from a Country that supports the killing of Women and Children, I don’t think any Irish person would agree with you blogs,
Do the women and children of the Donbass matter too? Or are they as John Pilger described the Palestinians, Serbs, etc "unpeople" ie. those who are on the other side of the geopolitical divide which decides who is a more worthy victim. Not condoning what Russia is doing but Instrumentalising human rights and wrongs is one helluva drug.

88 byn (Belarus rubles) = 32 euros for that simple meal in a simple restaurant in the provinces?? I had better lunches in fancy restaurants in the best parts of Moscow and Saint Petersburg for 15 euros (without wine) and better lunches in golf club restaurants in one of the best parts of the Spanish coast (where I am from) also for 15 - 20 euros (without wine). Or you are talking about 88 Russian rubles = 1,20 euros?.
@@IrishPartizan thanks for the reply. Now I see the bill that you show, but at the end of the meal you said by mistake 88 byn, that is why I was surprised 😄. I haven't been to Belarus yet, but I've been to Russia several times, my ex wife and still good friend is Russian. I am starting to follow you. Great videos.
do you have any videos where you explain how you got your permanent residence in Belarus? From next summer or next year I'm planning to spend 3 month periods in Russia (maybe in Belarus too), with 3 month visa, if it is possible (I work online), mostly with the purpose of dating beautiful women I contact on dating sites (that is how I met my Russian ex wife around 10 years ago). 90 day business visa to Russia was easy to get before covid as you know but I don't know the situation about visas now, so your channel is one of my favourite now, although I'm more interested in Russia (warmer black Sea Area in autumn, when Belaus or Piter are already very cold, maybe higher % of beautiful women in Russia than Belarus, although the level in Belarus is very good too).

But if there was someone who did nit know the official country language, they had to learn the basics of that. All FSU countries are considered by the current Russian administration as the territories of Russian influence, but they want to get rid of this disballance. It's close to the colonial system fall in the Western world in the 60th 20 century.

Your pronounce of words is killing Russian language

About the memorial in the end: And if they would have survived the nazi occupation era, they would have been killed in soviet gulag labour camps after being punished by the heavy hand of Article 58. Utterly ridiculous to make a memorial for the people who did not have time left to end up to gulag.
double portions? lardass
With what’s going on in Ukraine 🇺🇦 I think you are a nice good guy , But I’am not proud of a fellow Irish ☘️ Man Making blogs from a Country that supports the killing of Women and Children,
I don’t think any Irish person would agree with you blogs,
Do the women and children of the Donbass matter too? Or are they as John Pilger described the Palestinians, Serbs, etc "unpeople" ie. those who are on the other side of the geopolitical divide which decides who is a more worthy victim. Not condoning what Russia is doing but Instrumentalising human rights and wrongs is one helluva drug.

88 byn (Belarus rubles) = 32 euros for that simple meal in a simple restaurant in the provinces??
I had better lunches in fancy restaurants in the best parts of Moscow and Saint Petersburg for 15 euros (without wine) and better lunches in golf club restaurants in one of the best parts of the Spanish coast (where I am from) also for 15 - 20 euros (without wine). Or you are talking about 88 Russian rubles = 1,20 euros?.
It's 8 BYN.
@@IrishPartizan thanks for the reply. Now I see the bill that you show, but at the end of the meal you said by mistake 88 byn, that is why I was surprised 😄. I haven't been to Belarus yet, but I've been to Russia several times, my ex wife and still good friend is Russian. I am starting to follow you. Great videos.
do you have any videos where you explain how you got your permanent residence in Belarus? From next summer or next year I'm planning to spend 3 month periods in Russia (maybe in Belarus too), with 3 month visa, if it is possible (I work online), mostly with the purpose of dating beautiful women I contact on dating sites (that is how I met my Russian ex wife around 10 years ago).
90 day business visa to Russia was easy to get before covid as you know but I don't know the situation about visas now, so your channel is one of my favourite now, although I'm more interested in Russia (warmer black Sea Area in autumn, when Belaus or Piter are already very cold, maybe higher % of beautiful women in Russia than Belarus, although the level in Belarus is very good too).
