For modern children and teenagers, belyashi is a mysterious dish, even exotic. The fact is that it is now difficult to find stalls on the street where belyashi and chebureks are prepared. In the 1990s, such stalls were popular, as they were the only known type of street food
. Now belyashi has been replaced by various fast
food
cafes. It is worth admitting that such establishments are safer and cozier. But, the history of street food in the CIS began precisely with Tatar belyashi. It
