Is russian food really that bad ?

Look i had a crackhead Russian roommate and she'd cook me these elaborate dinners every once in a Russian holiday and I'm sorry but that food was NASTY like throwing up and gagging kinda nasty
She one make thi schi or whatever soup dish and i gagged within the first bite. No seasoning no sear no nothing just boiled ingredients with a metallic taste that stayed in your mouth all night. My family is Pakistani and we eat heavily spice, roasted flavourful food and that Russian food gave me genuine insomnia
