Turkey shashlik prices jumped the most with a 14.5 percent rise to 932 rubles per serving, according to the Russian Food Union data reported by EurAsia Daily. Pork versions cost 776 rubles after a 4.9 percent increase, with chicken options at 398 rubles following a 2.4 percent rise. Based on Center for Strategic Research figures, larger family-size portions hit wallets even harder. A 3.5 kg beef package costs 3045.4 rubles, lamb costs 3539.5 rubles, and red fish costs 4747.3 rubles. Even vegetable options like tomato shashlik cost at least 945 rubles for a 3.2 kg portion. The price tag for a complete picnic meal with bread, potatoes, pickles, and drinks went up 16 percent compared to last year. These increases affect most Russian families planning outdoor meals this season. [/QUOTE]
