What other figures from history would you like to see covered on the channel?
There's a restaurant in NYC (Russian Samovar) that makes Pelmeni Stroganoff, basically pelmeni covered in beef/mushroom. It's incredible….
I think it's important to remember that Tzar Nicholas was directly related to Queen Victoria as was Kaiser Wilhelm.
I prefer mine fried with sour cream and I make mine bigger. One bit is too small
I thought you were Buddy Handelson. (The smart kid from "Shake it Up)๐
tsareena in the back <333
murdered indeed, other heinous things done on the Romanov girls by filthy commiz.
Is it just me, or do they look a little like perogies when he was making them?
How are these different from pierogi?
This could be the beginning of a wonderful thing. A short series on the history of dumplings around the world???
Maybe I'm just biased, but there is nothing like a dumpling. And nearly every culture has one. It would be a cool miniseries
Funny you talking about how Czar Nicholas had to eat slowly to give other diners a chance to finish. His grandmother-in-law, Queen Victoria was a renound "trencherwoman" & guzzled her food so quickly that others had to bolt their food.
Always amazes me, as it did even his family at the time, how much Czar Nicholas & King George V of Great Britain looked alike. They would sometimes swap uniforms, & their mothers (who were sisters) found it hard to tell them apart. Sort of twin cousins.
Iโve seen pelmeni occasionally sold in the frozen section of Trader Joeโs
Spaseebah! Da!
Nikolai was an idiot and was murdered by more idiots
yeeeyyyy
this man and his family got what they deserved.
I'm excited to watch. Surprised it's not taco related since it's Cinco de Mayo AND taco Tuesday
The boshelvecks told all lies! Damned small hats. Keep noticing.
Itโs crazy because I literally said โThose would probably be delicious pan friedโ before you said you were gonna Pan fry them! They kinda look like Tortellini.
OK, Max. I've gritted my teeth and bit my tongue several times. But now that you used a STRAINER, I can't hold back anymore. STOP SCRAPING METAL UTENSILS ON YOUR LE CREUSET!!!! It hurts my soul to see you do it.
Good oneโค
The original Colonel Sanders chicken.
Excellent use of the swan lake theme, especially the climax at the end
Like you I like pelmeni & pierogi fried with a crispy bottom for texture. I sometimes go a step further & make a "lace skirt" for them like with bฤซnghuฤ jiฤnjiวo. Its crispy nature with the soft dumpling is just so good.
They are a family of Martyrs, becoming Saint to us Eastern Orthodox. Most of the slander came from the Bolsheviks. I wont get super political, but all you have to do is look into who headed the Bolsheviks and how they treated Christians, etc.. They began spreading propaganda very rapidly. Tradition was and is very important, but went against communism which the Bolsheviks needed to push and ultimately gain absolutism within the country. It's a deep dive, but worth looking into.
A lot of this speaks of the inherent intelligence of Russians (then and seemingly still today)… and that's troubling.
Couldn't help but chuckle when I noticed the tsareena in the background.
You need to understand the Romanovs weren't killed because of their refusal to change. The Bolsheviks kept the Royal Family alive because they knew the optics would not be great if they were killed by the revolution outright, and already the other capitalist nations hated and feared the Soviet Union for the rebellion that happened. They were killed as a last resort as a result of the Russian civil war and the White Army (made of insurgents and outside agitators because the capitalist nations feared the Soviet Union.) I find it odd that you clearly read this and know of this considering what you read of their last days but did not elaborate on this key bit of information, making it sound like the Soviets inexplicably turned against them and started treating them poorly for no reason beyond out of a sense of dislike when they were fighting a war.
The White Army got very close to getting the royal family, and it would have been a very bad situation politically if the White Army secured them. It is not sure who directly thought of the idea to kill them, as the order has been lost (likely destroyed to protect who thought of the idea.) Trotsky believes it was Yakov Sverdlov and Vladimir Lenin according to his diary, but the phrasing implies that it was more of a wild guess and less something he was absolutely sure of. It was an absolute desperate move, and not one taken lightly. If it was Lenin's orders, it's likely he would have done it as a last resort. Lenin cautioned against rash, spontaneous action. Killing the Romanovs would have, in other contexts, been a terrible political move.
Much like how the story behind the execution of the royals of the French Revolution has been distorted to make them look violent (Initially they wanted a constitutional monarchy. Then when Louie left, he basically left behind a letter telling the revolution their idea sucked and that he wouldn't give up power when he ran away to try to get outside allies to put them down. Which severely pissed off the rebels.), the story behind the execution of the Romanovs is often not told nor elaborated upon.
I was really hoping they would say merked 13:31
I appreciate the choice of sound track closer to the end of the video. Will eat a bucket of pelmeni when they show the whole Swan Lake on the Russian government TV.
Holy Imperial Martyrs, pray for us!
I would recommend mincing the onions much smaller than this
8:00 6 7!!!
I told my husband at work today that I was craving some pelmeni so as soon as I got home, I started making them and then when we sat down to eat and watch tasting history, youโll never guess what popped up. ๐
