What is recollected at once when the subject is the Ukrainian national cuisine? Except for bacon (impossible without it! :), two most known dishes in it are borshch and vareniki. Vareniki - one of the most specific Ukrainian dishes. Their preparation, apparently, is simple: a dough, with the diversified stuffings. However rather tasty vareniki it is possible to prepare, only carefully observing all details of technology. Very few people knows, that gluing properties of the test at a moulding varenikov directly depend on temperature of water, and the flour should be especially thin grinding. So, would like to bring to your attention: It better than tartalini, lingvini and ravioli, (scuzi mia :))) it is - VARENIKI with a water-melon, small cherries, raspberry, grapes, apples, bananas, black currant, mulberry, red currant - so tasty!!! :) It better than tartalini, lingvini and ravioli, it is - vareniki Leave a Comment

Of course every nation has some common habits that eventually differ from other local customs. It could well be that some descriptions I have put in here in this category may also apply for Ukraine as a whole but I would not write such things about the country without deeper insight into specific Ukrainian habits. So I keep with Kiev where most of my experiences are rooted. (text removed) Leave a Comment

That's not funny at all and implies the system of voting and elections. Now the situation is being changed thanks to the utmost solidarity in demonstrations and protests. Consequently we're entering a re-elections stage and hope for the best! Leave a Comment Website: http://www.razom.org.ua

Well, although Ukrainians are less hospital than people from Transcaucasian but anyway we are quite famous in this regard too. When somebody pays us a visit, we try to do our best for the guests. Feeding them to death is one of our traditions :)) Don't be afraid, cuisine is delicious. If some of you someday pays me a visit, I promise, I won't force you to eat pork fat (our national food and the favourite subject of Ukrainian jokes,, apart from 'nationalism' but it's another story... very exaggerated btw). For foreigners paying us a visit, we always cook the national food : borstch, pampushky, varenyky, galushky, mlynci (pancakes) and many others. No pork fat, LOL. Btw I dislike it myself too :) Traditionally we like be sitting around a big table, eating and talking. And singing. Ukrainians is a very "singing" nation. Historically Ukraine is known by great vocal potential. However I'm not big fan of "table singing", maybe because of my music school childhood. If people sing, they should do it well. Otherwise it is transferred into cacophonie of drunk shoutings, which I strictly dislike. Especially singing of people who don't have ear for music. It's terrible. But,,, maybe it looks exotic for foreigners, I don't know :))) Leave a Comment

The Kievites and the city visitors celebrate the City Day on the last weekend in May. This holiday has become very popular of late and attracts thousands of people at the improvised stages all over the city, in each of its ten districts. A big part of the festival is the tradesmen exhibition in St.Andrew's Descent where you can see and buy lots of souveniers of folk handicrafts, pictures of local painters and lots of other trivia. The city looks expecially festive on those days when the chestnuts are in blossom! Leave a Comment
