This time next month I will have the opportunity to comment a lot more on the food subject!

Guys, I have to tell you, I'm committed to eating the salted fish. Tanya is convinced that if I eat it a few times, I will realize how "tasty" it is!

I wouldn't bet any serious money on that, if I were you There are some kinds of salty fish that aren't too bad though. Try the stuff they sell in good restaurants. It is usually pretty fresh (I mean recently salted) - so it is easier to take.

I love pelmeni and varenyky a lot. Borscht too.

So, I have a serious question about the stinky salty fish When I was in college, my Russian roommate used to visit family in NYC and then bring back items from the deli. She always brought back this whole smoked fish and we would basically tear it open and then just eat strips of it. Is that the salty fish or is it something different?

Smoked fish is a different thing. I do occasionally share some freshly smoked salmon bits with Vika. She could eat it every day. Salty fish is a much stronger smelling/tasting thing.

Very definitely something different. I LIKE smoked fish! I put the tail in my mouth and light the head, but you have to puff really hard to keep them lit.

Sorry in advance for any poorly spelled dishes. Feel free to add something by post if I missed your fav.

It was close for me, between the fried potato vareniki with zelen and the hot steaming Borsch with smetana, zelen', tender beef and a slice of black bread!

On a freezing, blindingly sunny winter day with a brisk wind, nothing beats a hot bowel of Borsch at home with the missus after a long day at work!

...and THAT is why borscht is the winner (so far) in the survey!

That and....hey, there is a banner ad on my screen for hot Russian/Ukrainian women. Holy cow! They have pretty women there, anyone ever notice? Too late to be advertising for us, but maybe someone from the Canadian forums will see it...eh? They should include photos of food with the girls.

Anyway, yeah, if one was to read the ingredient list for borscht, I do not think it would seem to appetizing, but it sure tastes good.

I wondered about that too. Seems a waste of advertising space - preaching to the choir like that

In honor of this thread and just good Ukrainian/Eastern European food in general, I put a new photo at our gallery, mostly because I have no idea how to add it to my post. I never have figured that out, except for the avatar.

Hopefully the banner ad will spare some guy from making a terrible mistake and being condemned to post in...well..."another" regional forum.

You didn't name the dish

True - but that is even more strange. Why would any one come to a family visa site to find a marraige agent?
