Ukrainian Cuisine - Don't Say No To Salo
Peter Tate
All relationships are full of challenges, more so if you are dating someone from another country with diverse culture and background. The language barrier, lack of understanding of your fiancee's considered opinion on major life issues and mundane concerns could hinder your progress to build a deeper relationship. Therefore endeavour to learn more about Ukrainian cuisine and drinking practices to start your learning process.
It is important for you to know that Ukrainians are very warm and giving when it comes to feeding their visitors. Perhaps this is an offshoot of their excellent abilities in the kitchen. Our first dating tip is to be ready to be invited and cajoled to eat so much and go for as many helpings as you can when you are invited for dinner at your fiancee's house. If you do not, they will think that you are snubbing their hospitality and do not appreciate the effort put in the preparation of all these food.
Ukrainians have a variety of delectable and peculiar foods. Expect some of these to be served to you: Borshch (beet soup), Vareniki (sort of Ravioli), Nalisniki (pancakes), Golubsti (cabbage rolls) and Salo with garlic (Pig's fat). I am sure some of the foods will truly be inviting, but thinking of the others is enough to make you sick. So for our next tip, prepare your most creative and convincing excuse why you cannot take some of the food on the table.
Make your reason a bit imaginative but believable. Most people in the US and European countries do not consider pig's fat as food, much more a delicacy. As early as now, already tick off in your head some plausible excuses you can give, otherwise you might have to suffer the consequence of being forced to eat something then gagging it. That could really be very unpleasant and embarrassing.
Now let us to go to drinking habits. Generally, Ukrainian men drink a lot, preferring vodka or cognac. In fact this one of the reasons why Ukrainian women prefer to marry foreign men. So if you really want to pursue your Ukrainian dating, follow Tip No.3: Stay sober and do not regale your date with your misadventures in your country's local pub house.
Some ladies tend to drink a lot of alcohol too, especially during dates or certain occasions, which they believe is quite acceptable. Besides, some ladies make the men they are dating or marrying promise that they will never take even a single drop of alcohol.
Before seeing your girl's family, you should request her to give you a head's up as to her family's drinking habits in order to prepare for visit. If she agrees, you could get a bottle of good vodka, cognac or wine for her family or her father. At any rate, you have to limit yourself to just a few drinks no matter how much her family persuades you to take some more.
Following these simple tips regarding Ukrainian cuisine and drinking habits could put you off to a good start in impressing your lady and avoiding embarrassing situations which could lead to conflicts in your relationship.
