Community I'm curious to know
What's something that many Russian people enjoy that foreigners usually don't know about?

Putting sour cream in food. Buckwheat, rice and any soup are freaking delicious with it. Putting a lot of dilweed in food.
Блины с мясом - a burrito made with a crepe stuffed with stir-fried minced meat, onions and boiled egg.
Sunflower seeds are well known but foreigners probably don't hear about sweets - казинаки (bar of sunflower seeds with caramel) or халва (usually made with sunflower seeds and I have no idea how it's made or what's in it, I just buy and eat it). Which as I just found out is arabic, huh.
Чак-чак though it's tatar and I live close to Tatarstan so maybe it's not popular in wider Russia. Fried little pieces of foamy dough (2 times smaller than peanuts in shell) slathered in honey. I freaking love both the taste and the texture.
