So is this the Scottish dining experience thread?  ;D

I could talk about the Scottish restaurant in Moscow instead. Or the Scottish pub. ;)

The menu at the Scottish restaurant looks terrific, especially the wild game dishes.

We've been to the pub a couple of times but not the restaurant yet as it isn't particularly vegetarian friendly. One of our friends in Moscow has a cranachan obsession though so I'm sure it won't be long before we take her there.

Anyway, back to the FSU cuisine. Му-Му (moo-moo) is pretty good, and quite authentic so I'm told. Although it looks like the menu has diversified since I was last there, I don't remember there being sushi or pizza. I'm fairly sure it was just traditional Russian dishes previously, but it's been a few years since I visited.

I thought sushi was the "new" national food of the former Soviet Union. I suspect more than one reader/writer has been sushied in Moscow, Nikolayev or Kivy.

True. I'm aware of the sushi obsession but having pizza on that menu looks a bit random. Perhaps I just ignored it at the time.

I've seen pizza restaurants serving sushi (or was it sushi restaurants serving pizza?) in FSU.  The two don't seem to go together, but I suppose each is popular.

Even had sushi and pizza at the bowling ally in Poltava over the summer. The Japanese restaurant here in Novocherkassk, Osaka, serves pizza as well.

The Uzbekistani restaurant also offers both.
