An Intriguing Eastern Europe Experience...

You wouldn't think that a man from oak windows surrey would know very much about Eastern European cuisine, but this article is here to prove you very wrong about that. Because in this case, when a man wearing huge cowboy boots came stomping down my drive, it was to prove a very enlightening experience..

We once had some windows fitted round the back of our property, and that was a very standard experience. Two English workmen turned up, with skin-heads, and proceeded to take a half hour break before actually opening the van and discovering they didn't have the right tools for the job! In this case, with cowboy man, it was an entirely different scenario: he asked where the windows where, ran over to the van again and got a very industrial tool box out. Then he and his smaller friend got straight to work.

The food? There was too much to mention here, and it all sounded absolutely blissful...

While they were fitting the windows I couldn’t help it, a comment about the boots slipped out of my mouth. The guy turned around and smiled, thanked me for asking, and told me all about how you couldn’t get good quality boots in Eastern Europe. Then he laughed to his friend and I went off and made them some tea, feeling happy I had been lumbered with two quality workmen this time.

When I returned with the tea, the cowboy man introduced himself as Hector and we all got chatting again. Hector and his friend Jose told me that they’d recently been to Russia to fit some extra-special windows for someone who was a kind of celebrity. And with that the pair of them started to tell me all about the amazing cuisine they have over there, in the country that was obviously very dear to both their heart’s.

The St Petersburg Russian Comrade Restaurant was a particular favourite. With its two very separate dining rooms and extensive menu, it harped back to the olden days of the Soviet way of life. In a way it was a shrine to Lenin, and the place had never really left that time. The food? There was too much to mention here, and it all sounded absolutely blissful. Mainly it was traditional good food, with that wonderful home-made style to it, and Hector said he liked the prices. Said they were acceptable and the place was worth visiting.

There was, of course, much more to be said than that, and Hector and Jose told me an awful lot more, until, about an hour later they left. I was sorry to see them go and really felt like I needed to go and board a plane to Eastern Europe straight away!
