Five favourite things to eat

Oh cool, this is the easiest one! Food is my passion, I looove to eat, but I am a bit picky when it comes to certain things such as beets, goat cheese, etc

Recently my boyfriend and I visited Vancouver, and the city is known for its delicious street food. We saw lots of hot dogs trucks, juice vendors, but what really caught my eye was a picture of shawerma stand  on one of the food trucks. I immediately remembered Moscow streets with shawermas on each corner. Unfortunately I never had a chance to try one, due to the rumors about quality of meat and whatnot. So here we are, in Vancouver, ordering a "chicken shawerma pita wrap". And oh, my god, what a delicious wrap it was! Just perfectly spicy, and food wasn't falling out, which is pretty important for messy eaters like me :)
So one of the favorite things to eat would be definitely "chicken shawerma pita wrap"from Mr. Shawerma food truck

 When I think about favorite thing to eat, I ask myself "is that something I'd eat every day?". No matter how much you I love this or that there is going to be some concerns. Either weight/health (such a favorite burger from a fast food joint) or taste (for example: I'll get bored of eating olivye salad every day). But there is one dish that I can eat endlessly without any problems! It's called "plov" (Pilav, palao, polu,pulaw) and it's sooo good! Rice is something I truly can eat non-stop, for some reasons it makes me full for about 20-30 minutes, and then I am ready to enjoy it again. Never get boring of the taste and rise isn't something that can add kilos to my body

Next favourite thing to eat on the list is "Olivye" (Olivier) salad. It's a traditional Russian New Year salad hat takes forever to make (~2 hours) and it's just so good and worth every minute of making it. By "making it" I mean cutting ingridients and waiting for them to boil. I absolutely dislike when people in US call it "potato salad", potato is just one of MANY ingredients and not even the main one.  So please, respect the name :) Lotta love, Olivye!


Another thing on the menu is fruit pizza. Now, I haven't had this in a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery long time, but I remember the flavour was so good and it's on my "most wanted" list :) So I know it may sounds unappetizing and confusing at first, I believe people just imagine pieces of fruits instead of regular toppings, but nope, I remember it being white and yummy. Crust was pretty pizza-like, not tart style or anything like that. Just regular pizza crust, white spread (sweet cream cheese I believe it was), fruits and berries, and more of that white stuff. 'twas very yummy, and I hope to find it again someday

And a southwest salad is going to end my list. I love every single ingredient in it, it's spicy and crispy and healthy, absolutely lovely dish!
