Looking back
The SD Foodie take
Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.
The four frames show a large green salad, grilled meat over greens with cherry tomatoes, a hunk of meat on the bone over golden rice, and two glasses printed with onion-domed Russian imagery.
Roger’s caption explains the two dishes: shashlik, skewered meat, and chakapuli, lamb with onions, tarragon, wine and plum sauce. It is one of the more unusual cuisines in the archive, and the careful description suggests it was new territory worth recording.
The quick critique
