• New Year in Russia: Traditional Foods

  I’m not really a fan of various New Year traditions; I don't like the obligatory exchange of presents, and chopping down live trees just to throw them away in a week’s time doesn’t sound like a good idea, either. Still, there’s one custom that’s sacred to me – and that’s the New Year’s dinner, which is a very special event for almost every Russian. And since you can’t have a meal without food, it is the traditional Russian New Year foods that will be our topic today!

Coming up with an ideal batch of festive cookies, signing a Christmas card with an elegance of a calligraphy master, and even keeping you in check on how much you eat during the New Year’s feast: here’s what we imagine a festive period with robots would entail!
