Maria, from Colombia came by one Sunday morning.  I poured her a cup of coffee. On the kitchen counter I had staged the ingredients for a chicken soup:
CarrotsParsnipsTurnips Dill 
Maria recognized the carrots.  As she examined  the other root vegetable I explained, they were the root vegetable of the Northern European Plains.
I mentioned in an earlier entry that a century ago my grandparents and great grandparents immigrated here.The language is lost.  We never much identified with the mother country but the food tradition remains.
The above is a short video about one of the many Russian Supermarkets in Brooklyn and Queens.
On a personal note;The herrings, pickled everything and multi-varieties of sour cream bring back memories of a time when the best possible summer meal was fresh fruit hidden underneaths mounds of sour cream.
