Pancake diplomacy! Russia's Putin and China's Xi bond over cooking

When the dish was ready, Xi wanted to eat it with a fork, but Putin suggested he eat it with his bare hands, according to a long-standing Russian tradition.The improvised culinary show took place as the two presidents visited the FarEast Street exhibition on the opening day of the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok on Tuesday. Later in the day, Vladimir Putin was also expected to have dinner and a one-on-one meeting with the Chinese president.
