从1918年至1970年代后期五十余年间俄罗斯画家笔下的早餐时光。从中可以领会到普通老百姓的日常生活和上班前他们匆匆忙忙和随意的饮食

 

 静物:“晨” - Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin 作品, 1918。就和世界上任何地方一样,早餐时光,鸡蛋是必不可少的,狗总是饥渴难忍的。 

一日之始在于晨,和许多人一样,早上俄罗斯人喜欢享用他们的鸡蛋、面包和红肠。画中所绘制的黄铜器具就是俄罗斯典型的大茶壶 - 一种已经使用了数百年的金属制的煮水器具。这种大茶壶是泡茶过程中必不可少的一部分,即便在今天您几乎可以在每个家庭中发现它的身影,只不过带一点现代的色彩而已。大茶壶也是最普遍的婚礼礼物之一,一种传统的俄罗斯纪念品,代表了好客和有品位的家庭时光。
Just like many, Russians liked their eggs, bread and sausages — a hearty start of the day.  The brass item pictured is samovar — a metal water boiler which has been around for cen­turies. These samovars have always been popular as part of tea  making process — even nowadays you can find a modernized version of one in almost every house. It is also a popular wed ding gift and a traditional Russian souvenir, as it symbolizes hospitality and quality family time.

Still life: bread, eggs and a teapot; by Nicholas Kalmykov. 1958.

Appar ently there is a concept of Russian Tea that exists in the West: strongly brewed black tea with a wheel of lemon and generous amounts of sugar. This sweet and sour concoction is indeed popular in Russia, how ever, nobody calls it “Russian tea”.  Just tea with lemon.

A cup of cof fee; by Elena Shumakova. Can’t go wrong with cheese and pastries!

In summer there were healthier alternatives available: freshly picked strawberries and cream in a jug would be enjoyed just like any where else in the world. Please note the fine lace of the table cloth — very popular in Russia of all times.

Berries and Cream; by Elena Shumakova, 1983

Another country life illustration; please note a slighly different shape of the samovar. Also — bagels, extremely popular Russian wheat snack. Sugar cubes, a frequent substitute for regular sugar, which was hard to buy at times. A traditional tea glass, with an iron glass holder, an icon of those times and a well sought after collectible item now.

Alcohol-inspired paint ings tend to have lots of zest for life, too.
