1. Blini ( Blee- nee) is a very thin pancake similar to the French crepe. Popular ways to eat them are with condensed milk, jam, sour cream or honey.

2. Pelmeni – (pee-yell- mee- nee) (Pee-yell- men, plural) This was similar to ravioli or dumpling. They’re usually made from flour, water, egg and some kind of filling, usually meat or vegetable. The most common way to eat them, at least what I ate, had a beef filling and a side of either mayonnaise or sour cream.

3. Borsch(more ukrainian origin) and Schi (shee). These two soups are similar. The main difference would be that Borsch has beetroot added to the recipe. “Borsch” simply means beet soup. Shi on the other hand is cabbage soup, and there are no beets in it. Ingredients for both soups usually include a pork or beef broth, cabbage, onions, carrots, and potatoes.
