Traditional Nenets cuisine

Traditional Nenets cuisine

In the Far North Nenets people live. They have a lot of reindeer so they get meat and fats for food. Reindeer meat is quite tasty. A simple method of conservation for its storage for a long time is to salt it. Corned venison is used in any form: raw, smoked or dried.

North people eat raw meat with blood. This is not only a treat; it has vitamins C and B2 so the Nenets never get scurvy. They like deer meat, roasted on an open fire.
The Nenets also eat boiled or stewed meat of sea animals and fish.

Their favorite dishes of are sliced whitefish, venison, liver, soup with flour, pancakes with blood, stewed meat with pasta.

For garnish they prefer pasta and don’t like rice or vegetables.

Favorite north drink is tea. Cranberry, cloudberry, blueberry and fruit drinks, pudding starch and berry juices are very popular too.
