Dining out with gallbladder concerns shouldn’t mean missing out on Russia's rich culinary heritage. At mm food, we empower you to enjoy authentic Russian cuisine confidently. Our app instantly translates menus and flags dishes compatible with your gallbladder needs—ensuring delicious yet safe choices.

Why Russian Cuisine Needs Smart Selection

Traditional Russian meals often feature ingredients that trigger gallbladder issues:

• Fatty meats like pork in pelmeni (dumplings)
• Fried foods like pirozhki (stuffed buns)
• Creamy sauces in beef stroganoff
• High-fat dairy accompaniments like smetana (sour cream)

The key? Focus on dishes with: ✅ Lean proteins (chicken, fish) ✅ Steamed/boiled preparations ✅ Vegetable-forward options ✅ Low-fat cooking methods
