You seem to be English-adjacent (hue hue), so I can safely assume you’re indeed more familiar with horse feed than with rye. Rye results in cookery that’s rather heavy but tasty. Personally I prefer mixed-grain bread, as rye alone is so dense that a couple slices can make me lay down for an hour.
Come on, there are tastier cereals than oats. Namely rye.
For potato dumplings, sour cream is probably perfect.
The Russian salad. Quick, cheap, and easy to make. Apparently the word originally means a sauce made from vinegar or lemon juice.
Tied with vinaigraitte salad, because the latter is cheap to make in many regions.
Very convenient for quick preparation. When I was in a dorm and didn’t want to use the kitchen, I just bought a cucumber and tomato on my way home and chopped them in my room.
Basil also works well instead of oregano. Adds a lot of taste.
I also like to add either sour cream or low-fat mayo. And a bit of soy sauce.
