<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ritzyvintage, post: 3678668, member: 18191&quot;]The &quot;bread and salt&quot; tradition is a means of hospitality due to the bread being the most respected food in Russia and the salt means long friendship. It is associated to a Russian saying “to eat a food of salt (together with someone)”. Historically, the Russian Empire had a high salt tax.</p><p>A &quot;salt&quot; is often placed into the centre of a loaf of bread. It is a Russian tradition still used today at wedding ceremonies for example.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
