So my family hails from rural Appalachia. And I don't mean like "uwu mothman town" (although I am a fan of his work), I'm talking about like bumfuck nowhere where the hills are like mountains, there is a strong hatred still of the pinkertons, and where moonshine is plentiful along with weird englishisms only found in that region of the US.

As my Soviet course continues I have come to the realization that most eastern bloc countries and Appalachia act the same or at least very similar. I feel like if you threw me in a random town somewhere in eastern Europe is would assimilate into it just as I feel this would be true if you drop and random village in the middle of Appalachia.

"People's Theatre From the Box Office to the Stage," written by Mike Davidow, a Marxist theatrical critic, worked for the Daily World Marxist Newspaper. His work paints a vivid picture of the cultural and artistic life of the Soviet Union in the mid seventies. I hope everyone enjoys this recent upload!

Pistachio Bird's Milk Cake(Ptichye Moloko)

Ingredients:

Cake:

60g all purpose flour

10g cornstarch

3g baking powder

120g milk

30g neutral oil

50g sugar

Souffle:

120g room temperature egg whites* or 12g albumen and 108g water**

200g sugar

20g glucose/corn syrup(can be replaced with 10g of lemon juice)

5g agar agar(900 strength)***

50g water

60g softened butter

30g 100% pistachio paste

35g sweetened condensed milk

Glaze:

80g heavy cream

60g dark chocolate(54%-80%)

Instructions:

Cake:

Preheat oven to 200C.

Whisk together flour, baking powder and cornstarch.

In a different bowl whisk together milk and neutral oil.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet. Whisk until no dry bits of flour remain. Some small lumps are fine.

Pour into a 16cm cake ring.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Leave the cake in the ring.

Souffle:

Using a hand mixer beat the butter until white in colour and fluffy. This may take up to 15 minutes.

With the mixer on, slowly stream in the condensed milk and then pistachio paste.

Make a syrup by combining agar agar, sugar, glucose and water in a thick bottomed saucepan. Stirring occasionally bring it to a simmer. Let the mixture cook to 108-110C.

While your syrup is reaching the temperature whip your egg whites to soft peaks.

When the syrup reaches desired temperature, with the mixer on, slowly stream in the syrup into to the egg whites. The mass should increase in volume and become thicker. Continue whipping until stiff peaks.

Add in the butter mixture in three additions. The mixture will decrease in volume.

Quickly pour your souffle on top of the cake.

Let set in the fridge for at least 3 hours.

Demould your cake by heating the outside of the cake ring with a heat gun/blowtorch/hair dryer.

Glaze:

Melt the chocolate. Heat the heavy cream to 50C.

Use an immersion blender to emulsify them into a ganache.

Cool it down to a desired consistency. Spread over the top of the cake.

Let the glaze set in the fridge.

Notes:

* Agar agar sets at 40C, so if you use cold egg whites the syrup will cool down too rapidly. You won't be able to achieve stiff peaks and your cake won't set correctly.

**Egg Whites can be replaced with albumen(dried egg white) and lukewarm water.

***Agar has different strengths(e.g 800, 900, 1200) this recipe is calculated using 900 agar. The bigger the number the stronger the agar. If your agar has a different strength you will need to increase or decrease the amount by the coefficient found by dividing the higher strength by the lower. If your agar strength is 1200 to find the coefficient you would divide 1200 by 900 and then decrease the amount of agar by said number.

Some brands(Kotanyi is one of them) add mix-ins (dextrose, maltodextrin, sugar, etc) to agar - these agars will not work, because it's impossible to know the strength of them.

"I asked dozens of them, young and old alike, “Who is a Jew? What is Judaism? What makes you a Jew?” They shrugged their shoulders. The questions do not interest them. There is a time to philosophize, a time to accept the commandments of Judaism as a revelation from Sinai, and a time to ask questions. They are Jews, and that is that; the rest is unimportant. A Jew is one who feels himself a Jew."

People be like "Russia is not imperialistic"🤡 - and then the most famous Ukrainian chef cannot open a restaurant of the most famous Ukrainian cultural food in Japan, because Japanese widely consider borscht a Russian dish and so would avoid the restaurant thinking it to be Russian🫤🫤🫤🤯🤯🤯
