Belarusian cuisine

They grow it in record volumes (according to statistics, every Belarusian eats half a kilo of potatoes a day). Homemade dishes - potato pancakes, dracheny, dumplings, dumplings, sorcerers. All of them contain grated potatoes in different forms - raw on different graters (it is also important to leave the juice or squeeze), or mashed (massed). “Bulba” is also fried, stewed, baked or cooked on coals or barbecues. They eat potato salads (most of them do). There are others - tomatoes, eggplants, bell peppers. These gardening and farming products are used to make stews, lecho, caviar and salads. Mushrooms and berries grow here and are loved. Since ancient times, wild mushrooms have been dried and ground into powder - such an ancient seasoning for every dish - from soup to meat. In the second case, preference is given to pork. They love lard (salted with the skin) as a cold appetizer, a snack, and a side dish, and also with borscht. If the soup is delicious at home, then it is mushroom or pea. Or fish soup (there is a lot of fish here - rivers and lakes). The sweet table is represented by pastries and dough products. These are pies with and without vegetable, meat, sweet fillings, plyatski (as in Western Ukraine), pancakes (nalistniki) and pancakes (sometimes vegetable or with the addition of herbs, eggs, etc.) The temperate climate has taught Belarusians to store vegetables and fruits - ferment, can, dry and dry.
