They ate ikra without making faces but they couldn't take the potato salad.
Please.

[baddabingbaddaboom]

Growning up Russian: Having your mum make 50 salads every new year.

[michelaverri]

Olivye is very appreciated in Italy; we call it "Insalata russa" (translated Russian salad)

[AnjaliDandriyal]

Why did the girl even participate if she has a finicky digestive system?! Whatre they gonna do next- bring someone lactose-intolerant to taste-test only cheesecakes?? 😂

[davidwoskow]

I’m Russian and I don’t understand how it is possible that some people don’t like Оливье!!

[mariag]

I was about to say in my family we eat the same salad (we're latinos) and realized it's called ensalada rusa (Russian salad) and facepalmed so hard

[exofreakingtrash]

Im not Russian but i think we have to respect others country food.

[WeaselFromNorth]

I'm so proud for that dude who just discovered pickled tomatoes

[nestiyyav]

I love how they talk about how the Russian food has so much butter but American food is so greasy lol 😂

[marcr]

I hate hearing fellow Americans still call Russia “Soviet”

[lunnademsp]

Their reactions are so extra, seems like they’ve tasted something other than McDonalds for the first time in their lives

[lordnicoo]

As a Russian its so unusual seeing people go
"wow that looks so unappetizing"
at such every day dishes like potato salad.
its actually funny how frightened they got attempting to eat some of these

[memegalore]

I'm American but it's funny when they say it's salty but like 85 percent of all our foods is salty lmao

[traceyh.]

My kids went to daycare run by a Russian family. That food was some of the healthiest food they ever had. Lots of soups.

[Jehuty]

6:32 "Maybe i wont go to that many Soviet Holiday parties..."
Famously not a thing for near 3 decades at this point. Where did they find this girl?

[lady_trill]

Don’t worry sis I have a feeling they don’t invite you to parties anyways

[diamond]

I swear if they give them water they will be like
*iS ThAt A ChIcKeN!*

[Moonlightglare]

Should have chosen different people to try the food. Not pleasant to watch negative people just being negative for the sake of it.

[SayhellotoJJ]

That girl. OMG 😂. Please don’t have her again....

[josephhiller]

What the heck? My mom is not Russian, but watching this video made me realize that I have been eating Russian food my whole life. Literally I don't understand how they don't like that food, it's so delicious.
