Comment on Why do russian parents insist on being treated to home cooked meals?
ieatmeat@lemmy.world 1 day agoYep that pretty much hits home.
We’re Soviet era restaurants so bad that they all prefer home cooked? Or were they unaffordable for the average citizen back then? Or was it just a social norm to cook food for your guests?

AFAICT restaurants were few, expensive, and difficult to get into (i.e. not for regular people on regular basis), and the option for regular people would be stolovaya (cafeteria?) which is simple, probably mediocre food.
So seems like if you don’t have the connections and want decent food, make it yourself.
