The only translation for "hot dogs" I have ever heard (and to me, that is the right one) - sosiski [сосиски]

Слава Україні!

Shashlyk has also been translated here as a generic name for "hot dogs" which, as we all know, are just balogna in a tube. Hey, when you run out of sausages, the good ones, hot dogs will do in a pinch. Right?

No. Alla calls them garbage and will not eat them or serve them to anyone else. I was tasked with providing 2 dozen hot dogs for a cook out for Pasha's lacrosse team. Nothing doing! Alla called the woman in charge (or who thinks she is in charge) and convinced her what they REALLY wanted was a Ukrainian "layer cake" made of healthy eggs and flour and grease and slathered with healthy condensed milk double boiled into a rich syrup. That's it!!!!!!! They are good cakes, the layers are very thin and there is a lot of them, which means a lot of that sweet syrup between the layers...oh, I have to stop now...I am diabetic.

This is mostly good stuff folks! I can see that my survey was nowhere near as robust as it could have been. Vika took a look at it, and judged that borscht would win because more Americans know the name than anything else, and it is most common. I like many of the dishes I listed (and some I didn't) both hot and cold. Any one else have an opinion?

My fiance, Ukrainian :) pours lots of mayo, ketchup and any sauce available to meat or potatoes too :))

I have a question :)When I was visiting his family in Ukraine, we were having always for breakfast heavy food, lets say rice with chicken, or pasta with meat and onions. Is that usual? I had a funny, crazy experience because of this, which includes 3 hospitals and a crazy mother in law jiji:S

Hot dogs can be called сосиски, which is a pretty generic translation for any sort of tube sausage. Hot dogs wouldn't be called колбаса. As far as шашлык, it is traditionally pieces of meat fried on a spit, with garlic, onions, and marinades optional. However, it can sometimes be more generic and just mean a cook-out or barbecue (sort of like how barbecue in English can mean a certain type of food or it can be generalized to anything cooked on a grill, which real barbecue ironically isn't).

I'd say that колбаса is a generic term for a whole bunch of different processed pig/beef/turkey whatever products, which includes сосиски. Шашлык is more like shish kebabs and refers more to how something is cooked, rather than what it is specfically.

Yes - there is a tendency to use lots of "sauce" with anything. You see people in restaurants in Ukraine literally smothering pilmeni with sour cream, for example. You can't even see the food. :lol:

Vika also tends to eat strange stuff (by my standards) for breakfast. No way I am going to eat fish, or anything with garlic or onions that early :lol:

It seems pretty normal.

I never noticed a set "breakfast" routine like we have here. My wife will cook some eggs in the morning but usually it's either something leftover from dinner or maybe some yogurt or crackers with condensed milk or something like that. She's never busted out the cereal and/or bacon and eggs, goetta, grits, etc., unless I've suggested it or we specifically bought that stuff to have for breakfast.

Шашлык is more like shish kebabs and refers more to how something is cooked, rather than what it is specfically.

Which could explain why, if you're drunk and all you have available is hot dogs, they become shashliki.

Well, колбаса is a broad term but my point was simply that if you hold up a hot dog and ask Russians what it is, not one of them is going to say колбаса.

As far as Шашлык, I think that is what I said in different words.
