USSR: Standards of Living and Geography | Clarissa's Blog
My own circumstances were not incredibly different. All my clothes were hand downs except for a few purchased just before we left the country and school clothes and we didn't have a lot apart from the basics in terms of furniture, food and so on. Some of the delicacies we tried toward the end of the regime and the beginning of the new were kapenta.

and something called "samp". It was dried, broken corn teeth which also had a lot of weevils and weevils faeces in it. You scooped off the dead weavils with a tablespoon when the water began to boil, but they always left a slightly rancid taste in the food.
