Ukrainian cuisine

Borshch has had a special and important place on the daily menu of the Ukrainian people for many years. It is usually served as a first course for dinner. It tastes best  when served with pampushkas (small round buns) and garlic.

                                          

Varenyky are square - or crescent-shaped dumplings of unleavened dough, stuffed with mashed potato, sauerkraut, cheese, cabbage, meat, hard-boiled egg or a combination of these, or with a fruit filling. Varenyky are very popular in Ukraine.
