Maybe I'm spelling it wrong but I'm looking for the correct spelling as well as the English translation for "димяная уха".  I know "уха" is "ear", but what is the English translation of the name?  I'm trying to help out a friend with folklore stories and would like to be able to do an Internet and library search, if possible.

Thanks!

Wow, what a mountain of experience! You've lived and traveled a lot to surely know this is bullshit.

Well, with just 25 years I've lived just in Moscow I cannot speak for the whole Russian nation like the grand parent but in my limited experience people did not have any problem drinking before noon, or any time of day for that matter. And yes, I have seen countless drunk people in the mornings. And drank myself. And during Gorbachev's Prohibition I've been walking past lines formed around liquor stores opening at 2 pm every day etc. etc.

No one would argue that many Russians drink a lot, and drinking IS acceptable for many

That is exactly what are you trying to do.

but please don't generalize by saying this holds true for everyone

You have to be fairly drunk to read something like this here.

Lol, so we also should stop saying something like "Russians sent the first man into space"? I think we should stop talking till you sober up at the very least, bye-bye.

Very funny. I wasn't talking about traveling, I compared capital and region.
You don't know how much I've traveled.
