Письмо другу по британскому на тему национальная пища в Рф выбрать

Dear friend,
Hi! Sorry for not writing you for a long time but I was really busy. But now I have a little time. And I would like to tell you about national food in my country. 

Our national food is pasta and different types of soups. Pasta is sold in many restaurants of our city but it has high prices! As for me, I like home-cooked pasta. It it tasty and the most it is cheap! I also like cooking different soups at home. My my favourite is soup with cabbage. Well, what is your national food? Is it has high prices or low? Is it always tasty? 
Well, that is all for now. Write soon.
Best wishes,
Tom.

Hi, (Имя друга)
How are you? We will celebrate the New Year soon and so I want to tell you about our traditional family dish.
Olivier salad is a traditional salad dish in Russian cuisine. It is also very popular in other European countries.Traditionally it is мейд with diced boiled potatoes, carrots, pickles, green peas, boiled eggs, onions,and diced boiled chicken (or, sometimes, ham). The salad is dressed with mayonnaise.
The original version of the salad was invented in the 1860s by a Belgian chef, Lucien Olivier. At that time he worked in Hermitage, one of Moscows most celebrated restaurants. The salad very quickly became a specialty dish which everyone wanted to try.
The exact recipe, particularly that of the dressing, was kept a secret. Todays popular version of Olivier salad only faintly resembles Oliviers original creation. It is known as a version of Ivanovs "Stolichny salad".
