Many people know that Soviet cuisine was somewhat different from modern cuisine, as housewives had a limited range of products and unique cooking technologies.
For example, gravy and school cutlets have become real classics that everyone tries to repeat at home.
But there were also some very strange culinary habits that mostly cause bewilderment. For example, it was customary to add one aspirin tablet to the jars with preserves.
Why was it necessary to do this?
Many will probably assume that the drug was added to prevent the activity of pathogenic flora. This is a correct guess.
Aspirin leaves no chance for germs.
Can tablets be added to the preparations?
Surely many have thought about whether it is possible to act in this way now. However, it is still worth abandoning this method.
It is known that the use of medications (even aspirin) can negatively affect health, as tablets can impair liver function and harm the kidneys.
