UKRAINIAN FOOD
Ukrainian cuisine is very varied, and Ukrainians are known for their hospitality. Though more and more cafes, bars and restaurants are opened offering excellent food at reasonable prices, Ukrainians will never miss a chance to invite you to a family gathering. Women gladly spend a lot of time and energy in the kitchen cooking for family and guests. Usually a traditional festive meal begins with a huge number of starters followed by the main course. The aim is to ensure that a guest’s plate is never empty!
Borshch is a soup based on beetroot with meat and vegetables: served with sour cream.Varenyky are ravioli-like pasta stuffed with mushrooms, meat, cottage cheese, potato, cabbage or cherries (as a dessert).
Holubtsi – cabbage leaves stuffed with rice and vegetable, or with spicy minced meat. Mlyntsi – pancakes, often made with sour milk.
At the risk of offending vegetarians, a description of the Ukrainian cuisine would be incomplete without salo – pork lard. Spices are rubbed into the skin and the lard then allowed to stand in cold place. It is eaten in salted thin slices with bread. The smoked version is especially delicious.
Ukrainians are very fond of milk and kefir (sour version of yoghurt). They also like refreshing non-alcoholic kvas made from fermented brown bread. Uzvar is another summer favourite made from stewed fruit and very similar to iced fruit tea.
Ukraine has a tradition of drinking spirits. Horilka is a popular spirit for adults, mostly men. Women enjoy wine, nalyvka (infusion of fruit and horilka) or vyshnivka (especially tasty variety made from cherries).
