Ukrainian cuisine is closely linked to the customs, culture and way of life of the Ukrainian people. It is famous for its diversity and quality of flavour. The most popular Ukrainian dish is borsch. This thick and delicious soup is prepared with a variety of ingredients including meat, beans, vegetables, sour cream and even garlic. In Ukraine people eat borsch with pampushka. Pampushka is a bun with grated garlic. Holubtsi or stuffed cabbage is another favourite dish, as are varenyky (or vareniky) filled with potatoes, meat, cheese, sauerkraut, or berries such as blueberries or cherries. Varenyky are often mentioned in folk songs. Ukrainians' dairy products are cottage cheese pancakes, riazhanka (fermented baked milk). There are no holidays without pies, baba (a tall, cylindrical cake), honey cakes. Ukrainian sausage is very tasty. It is preserved in a special way - in porcelain vessel smothered in melted fat. Of course, every region of Ukraine has its own recipes and traditions.
