made in Russia
For many people kvass, valenki or holodets are associated with Russia. Almost everyone in the country heard about them. But have you ever wondered what exactly we know about these things?
Kvass
Kvass is Russia’s most popular summer drink. It exists in different varieties which are many, for example, mint, apple, pear or honey kvass. When did this drink first appear in Russia? Who invented it? It’s not known for sure. Nowadays people drink kvass with raisins, pepper or horseradish. By the beginning of the 19th century there were more than a thousand recipes of the drink. Kvass is a drink for everybody. Different families have their own recipes of making it. This drink also serves as the main ingredient for other dishes, for example, okroshka which is essentially a salad with kvass.
Valenki
Valenki is a traditional winter footwear in Russia. They are made of sheep’s wool. These warm felt boots have been worn by generations of Russians. Today people wear them in villages and cities. Designers offer new models with colourful decorations. Originally, valenki were handmade and produced only in Siberia. Valenki’s modern look appeared in Nizhny Novgorod Region in the 18th century. Then they were very expensive, and sometimes a family could afford only one pair for its members. Mass production of them began only in the 19th century and they became the country’s big hit. Valenki can be multifunctional, as they effectively relieve pain.
Holodets
Holodets (also called studen) is a jellied meat dish of traditional Russian cuisine. It first appeared in the 16″ century and got its name from the word holod, as it is eaten cold and often people have it with horseradish or mustard on top. It’s usually cooked for winter festive refreshments. As with many Russian dishes the origin of holodets remains a mystery, but its recipe is not. You cook strong broth by boiling different types of meat or poultry, or even a combination of both. You are banned to add any gelatin or artificial additives in it. Now people can cook and enjoy this dish anytime.

1 What do you know about the products in the text? What is the history behind each product? Listen and read to find out.
Made in the USA
Who doesn’t wear jeans, drink cola and eat potato chips? Almost everyone does! But have you ever wondered what the stories are behind these products?
JEANS
The story of jeans goes back to the 19th century when sailors from Genoa, Italy, wore durable cotton and wool denim trousers. Then, in 1853, 24-year-old Levi Strauss travelled to San Francisco from Germany and decided to design trousers for manual workers from this material. They were a big hit, and by the 1950s, jeans had become very popular with a whole generation of young people. At first, many places such as theatres and restaurants banned them. Nowadays, jeans are a staple item of clothing in everyone’s wardrobe!
POTATO CHIPS
In 1853, George Crum was working as a chef at a restaurant in New York. One day, a customer sent Crum’s French fries back to the kitchen, saying they were too thick. Crum got very angry and decided to take revenge on the fussy diner; he made a new batch of fries so thin and crispy that the customer couldn’t eat them with a fork! To George’s surprise, the guest was thrilled with them and other diners began asking for them, too. Fast-forward to the 21st century and, in the US alone, sales of potato chips amount to over $6 billion per year.
COCA-COLA
John Pemberton, a pharmacist from Georgia, invented the original Coca-Cola formula in a three-legged brass kettle in his backyard! The soft drink was first sold as a medicine in a chemist’s on 8th May, 1886. Dr Pemberton sold about 9 servings each day. He made about $50 in the first year, but unfortunately it cost him about $70 to make the cola! In 1887, a businessman bought the formula and by 1900 sales, had risen by over 4000%. Coca-Cola remains the most famous soft drink in the world, but its exact ingredients are still a trade secret!
