🌍

文化的背景

In cities like Moscow, being a vegetarian is very trendy. You will find 'V' symbols on menus and many dedicated vegan cafes. It's often associated with yoga and a healthy lifestyle. In villages, the concept might be less familiar. People might think you just don't eat beef but still eat chicken or fish. It's better to list exactly what you don't eat. During religious fasts (Lent), many Russians become temporary vegetarians. This is why 'постное меню' is so common and useful for vegetarians. In the USSR, meat was a symbol of status. Some older people might view vegetarianism as a strange 'Western' fad or worry that you aren't getting enough nutrition.
