2. Ukrainian cuisine has a long history and is rather popular
not only in Ukraine but also in other Slavic countries. There
are many tasty dishes in Ukrainian cuisine. One of the most
popular dishes is borshch.
Borshch is a vegetable soup made out of beets, cabbage,
potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, dill. There are
about 30 varieties of Ukrainian borshch and the dish often
includes meat.
Salo is usually used as a separate dish, mainly in raw,
baked form, in the form of different seasonings, and a fat
base of various dishes. Salo was one of the most important
products of long-term storage, and also one that was used
in travels and during lunch on a working day as a source of
energy - bread, salo, and onions was enough for a whole
day of hard work.
Salo is considered to be a symbol of Ukrainian cuisine.

3. When you come across the cuisine of Hutsuls, who are an ethnic
group of Ukrainians living in the region of the Carpathian Mountains,
you should definitely try banosh. That is what they call a thick porridge
made of corn flour and boiled in cream or sour cream. It is always
sprinkled with brynza (a type of sheep milk cheese) and roasted bacon.
It is believed that the preparation of banosh is an exclusively male
business, and the son who receives the recipe from his father should
certainly add something of his own.
One of the most famous Ukrainian dishes,
varenyky, are dumplings with a variety of fillings,
from sweet to sour. Each Ukrainian mistress has her
own recipe of varenyky. The most ‘basic’ filling is
boiled potatoes. Other savory fillings include pickled
cabbage, salty cheese, boiled mushrooms, as well as
meat, liver, or fish. The most popular sweet filling,
without a doubt, is cherry, which makes sweet
varenyky a perfect summer dish.
