  46. be greeted with detailed descriptions of all kinds of culinary delights as
  47. experienced by the intrepid Chichikov. And this is just one example! Even
  48. the casual reader of Russian literature or the viewer of Russian painting
  49. will find that food has played an integral part in Russian life down
  50. through the years, across class lines and in and out of the arts.</p><p>As you read in the previous lesson, shopping for food in the Soviet
  51. period was, more often than not, an adventure. The same could be said for
  52. a night out at &#1072; <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">&#1088;&#1077;&#1089;&#1090;&#1086;&#1088;&#1072;&#1085;</em></span></strong></span> restaurant. Just as
  53. good-quality housing was in short supply, good restaurants were few and
  54. far between in those days. And the best ones were simply off limits to the
  55. common folk.</p><p>Not so any more! Moscow and St. Petersburg alike now boast a large
  56. number of restaurants which cater to nearly every cuisine and taste
  57. imaginable. As with stores, some of these are foreign-owned, some are
  58. joint ventures and still others belong wholly to Russians. In any case,
  59. you will find that together with variety comes unpredictability:
  60. high-priced isn't always a guarantee of high-quality; high-quality one day
  61. does not guarantee it the next... And service? The same holds true:
  62. sometimes you're lucky, and sometimes you're not. The Russians themselves
  63. are painfully aware of the reputation their service has acquired over the
  64. years and many establishments are trying hard to emulate what they
  65. consider a Western standard of good service. They've even gone so far as
  66. to state in their help-wanted ads that "anyone having prior experience in
  67. Soviet restaurants need not apply".</p><p>It is a good idea to keep in mind that, for many Russians, a night
  68. out in a restaurant is an event, and there is little reason to rush. What
  69. we might perceive as slow service is simply the staff's understanding
  70. that, if you're out to enjoy yourself, why hurry? If you are in a hurry,
  71. on the other hand, you'd best tell your <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">&#1086;&#1092;&#1080;&#1094;&#1080;&#1072;&#1085;&#1090;</em></span></strong></span> waiter or <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">&#1086;&#1092;&#1080;&#1094;&#1080;&#1072;&#1085;&#1090;&#1082;&#1072;</em></span></strong></span> waitress that ahead of
