Bedeutung
Complimenting the taste of food.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The tradition of 'Khleb-Sol' (Bread and Salt) represents the peak of hospitality. Praising the food is an extension of this respect. It is common for Russian hosts to keep offering more food ('Eshche nemnozhko!'). Saying 'Eto ochen vkusno' while declining more is a polite way to stay on their good side. Tea culture is huge. Even a simple cup of tea with jam deserves a 'vkusno' compliment. New Year's Eve is the biggest food event. Complimenting the 'Olivier' salad is mandatory.
The 'Mmm' Factor
Russians often start this phrase with a long 'Mmm' to show they are savoring the flavor.
Don't be shy
In Russia, silence during a meal can be misinterpreted as not liking the food. Say 'vkusno' to keep the host happy!
