Is it possible to find vegetarian food (no fish, no meat, no beaf, no

Are you serious? In Siberia, after decades of near starvation people
finally are able to eat meat. The novelty has not dissappeared (yet). No
local joints catering for idiots (meaning in the way the locals think).
For the locals angel food and manna from heaven is a greasy mcdonaldian
hamburger, a treat that their parents nor they themselves couldn't have
dreamt of just some years ago.

To be fair the russians do understand business. There are places where
the funny flowerhats (funny foreign tourists) can have their funny grass
(vegatarian meals). And as a side product it provides an abundance of
laughter and jokes and clarifies why Bush et al are so crazy as the
media tells.

Don't be offended - this is just the reality.
