Ukrainian Cuisine - Don't Say No To Salo

By: John Dale..

If you are dating a Ukrainian lady, you are not just dealing with someone from the opposite sex, you are actually dealing with someone from another culture. And with that, you will have to deal not only with the differences between sexes, but also the language barrier, the differences between your cultures and your lack of knowledge on your love's views on life. But thankfully, you can always start from something a little more mundane - you can start with your ladylove's eating and drinking culture.

First thing you should know about Ukrainian cuisine is that Ukrainians are very hospitable and generous when it comes to feeding their guests. Moreover, Ukrainian ladies love and know how to cook. So, the first of our Ukraine dating tips is to be prepared to eat much and try not to refuse a second helping of anything when you are invited to dinner over to your fiancee's home. Otherwise, she and her family (especially her mother) might think you shun their hospitality and dislike their food (and efforts put towards cooking it).

You should know that Ukrainian cuisine includes some very tasty dishes along with some more exotic ones. Among the most traditional Ukrainian dishes there are Borshch (beet soup), Vareniki (sort of Ravioli), Nalisniki (pancakes), Golubsti (cabbage rolls) and Salo with garlic (Pig's fat). Some of these you may like, while others you may hate. So, another one of the Ukraine dating tips is to think out some nice explanation as to why you do not want to eat or even taste some of the food offered to you.

Of course, you should make sure that your excuse is nice, and more importantly, believable. Pig fat is not eat in the United States and in most countries of Europe. You might even be feeling sick now as you are reading this (more so if you eat it), but do not tell it to her family. So think ahead and come up with a very good reason why you deny it when it is offered to you.

As to their drinking habits, you should know many of them Ukrainian men drink a lot. Most of them prefer cognac or vodka. The drinking habit is, in fact, why many of the women in Ukraine wish to marry foreigners. Thus, if you want to be successful in your relationship with your Ukrainian lady, do not drink too much and do not share with her your adventures at the pub.

Of course, there are some Ukrainian ladies who drink a lot. Most Ukrainian women, however, would think it is acceptable to drink only during dates, holidays or celebrations. Some Ukrainian women even require their men not to drink any alcohol at all.

If you are visiting your ladylove's family or when you think you are ready for it, talk to your lady first about her views on drinking. If she is not against it, you may give a bottle of alcoholic drink to her father or to her entire family when you are visiting. Remember though not to drink too much even when the rest of her family is generously offering you to drink more.

In dealing with Ukrainian eating and drinking culture, do keep these things in mind. You would want to impress your love and avoid unnecessary fights in your relationship.
