The larger companies in the US often have a "company cafeteria" like this. The workers like it because it is cheap, good food, and the company likes it because workers stay on campus instead of taking long lunches at outside restaurants or fast food.

There's one a short drive from the factory where I work which is located at rear of a long abandoned soviet furniture factory, it's the only part of the factory that still operates the decor hasn't changed in decades, wood panneling everywhere, and they use an abacus instead of a cash register, but man the food is so fucking gooood.

I live in the north of England and the weather is pretty miserable here, so hearty foods like soups are right up my street. I love Baxter's Soups (convenience as obviously home made is better) - always have a cupboard stocked up with Baxters as there are so many brilliant ones to choose from. Do you reckon its the weather as to why there are so many great soups in places like Scotland & Eastern Europe?

@mattwinstanley2544 - I'm from North West England & I agree about the cold weather & soup. Also it is a way of stretching out foods & making use of any food you have left over, however small the portion. I live next to the Sea so there is always a breeze in the colder months the wind can feel quite biting, a soup is necessary to not only keep me warm, but to keep down on fuel costs. I think all colder countries can relate to soups from Broth, Goulash, Borscht each country, region will have their soup to keep their families warm, full & ready to venture out to work or school.

Your gut is good! Yes, South Cumbria, lucky I'm right next to the Sea. Moved back here after 30 years, was in Salford for the last 20 odd. I used to get up to Bury & Heywood. Covid & my health brought me back. Living in a Salford high rise with no heating, damp & a disability made me a target for Covid so I got a taxi to my family & stayed here since. I miss Salford & Greater Manchester, I'm more familiar with North Manchester, Bolton areas, the black pudding & black peas on Bury Market - the people, I thought I'd be there forever. But new adventures have to start over sometimes. I think one thing that connects northern England, Scotland & Ireland is the potato. Whatever you do with them they bulk out food & fill you up. I used to have an Indian lass who worked for me in Manchester, told me once to make up my favourite curry, which I used to from scratch & instead of any meat, use small waxy potatoes. It was the best Indian food advice I was ever given. It fills you up & keeps the cold from your door. Sending my regards to you - really enjoying the chat. Thinking about tea soon. Tek care fella.

Thanks for sharing. I'd love to eat at a place like this. The bread looked like a homemade sourdough. Very interesting, especially since, even if i were to go to belarus, i and most people would have trouble eating here because of the language barrier.
