Why Russians Eat Potato for Dessert?

Gastronomy Marusya

The word “potato” in Russian can mean both a vegetable and a type of cake. To be fair, the pastry does look like potato, hence the name. In Russian you call it "kartoshka". It’s neither fancy nor does it have a sophisticated flavour profile but many Russian people very fond of it because of the childhood memories it brings back.
To be honest is nothing more than cookie crumbs mixed with condensed milk and butter. That simple and unpretentious but, nevertheless, delicious.
Somebody think that "kartoshka" is similar to brownie cake. So, to decide, please, come to us and try one of the most popular Russian homemade dessert.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
