8 Read the text.Compare English and Ukrainian food. An Englishman's View of Ukrainian Food.
When living in Ukraine I never cared for cabbage and beet-root soup, ‘borshch’ as they call it, even though it includes a large portion of meat. I always, when possible, choose the alternative. But I found that my Ukrainian friends always plumped for the cabbage, day after day, like Scotsmen after their porridge.
Personally I don't like buckwheat ‘kasha’ whether eaten with salt or sweet. This is the Ukrainian equivalent of porridge.
But now some of my likes. First, the wonderful variety of milk products which you can get in Ukraine. Here in Britain we have our milk, cream, cream cheese, and sometimes yogurt and a variety of hard cheeses.
In Ukraine there is a large choice of such products, as sort of dry, granulated cream cheese, called 'syr', thick sour cream called "smetana", and several types of sour milk products of the yogurt type.
Smetana can be used with almost everything: borshch, dumplings (varenikys) with cherries, potatoes (mashed potatoes with onions) or sauerkraut; pancakes or potato pancakes, called "deruny".
The most common third course in Ukraine is "uzvar". It is a stewed fruit made of dried fruit.
To sum it up I enjoy Ukrainian food.
