Pastila represents the whole Russia. It's probably one of the tastiest things you've ever tried.
Pastila is a Russian marshmallow! You can taste it only here. It's made of whipped cream with honey, nuts, berries and apples. It's a white, pink or green soft little square.
You can find this desert in the Museam of Pastila (in Kolomna) or in Moscow shops.
The Museam of Pastila is so interesting. When you go there the first thing you see is a small shop, but keep going, don't stop there. First you need to try Pastila itself!
There are so many types and tastes of Pastila nowadays but in the past there was just one.
The second thing you will see is a big room with many bottles with all sorts of honeys, nuts and berries.
You'll also find there many unexpected things like wigs and old Russian kokoshniks.
A professional guide will explain you how to make a real Pastila.
In the next room you'll taste this delicious product and see an old-style Russian perfomace.
I believe you could love it with all your heart. Plus, there is a little secret. It doesn't make you fat!
So, enjoy yourself!
