My little homeland .Nothing on earth could be closer, dearer than home. Each person has their own homeland. Some of the large city, others little village, but all the people that love her the same. Some go to other cities, countries, but nothing can replace her. Homeland does not have to be large. It can be any corner of your city, town. I have my own favorite place. This is grandma's house in the village. There is nothing better than this corner of Russia. Every holiday I try to visit grandma, especially in the summer. I like to lie on the green grass, basking in the sun on the river Bank. The neighborhood birds are chirping, and it seems that time stops. Life fades, and you forget about all the problems. Beautiful evening! Good weather, the sun sets and the sky the moon appears. Silence, only chirping crickets. Look up at the sky, and the stars seem so close that if you reach, you can touch them. Grandma says: this is due to the fact that the river close.

Ukrainian cuisine is young, she is only a couple of centuries, although its foundations were laid and from the time when wars were fought with the "infidels." As for the Ukrainians addiction to this product as fat, then it has a reasonable explanation. In ancient times, Ukraine was subjected to the endless attacks of the enemy, who were taken away into slavery, not only people, but also took away the cattle and all the products of the kitchen. There remained only the pig and pork products that are not petition the guests did not eat. Here Ukrainians, and most of its flavor became fat dishes. It is understandable and not the popularity of beef in the Ukrainian cuisine. All because of the oxen, because they were of draft labor force, they plowed, toured the salt in Ukraine, so the meat they were tough and less suitable for use. Special fame enjoyed Ukrainian borscht, and first of all with dumplings Poltava. He is one of the masterpieces of Ukrainian culinary arts.
Перевод:
Украинская кухня молодая, ей всего пару веков, хотя ее основы и закладывались еще с тех времен, когда велись войны с «басурманами». А что касается пристрастия украинцев к такому продукту как сало, то этому есть разумное объяснение. В давние времена Украина подвергалась бесконечным набегам этих врагов, которые уводили в рабство не только людей, но и забирали скот и все продукты из кухонь. Оставались только свиньи и свиные продукты, которые не гости, не ели. Вот украинцы и стали сдабривать большинство своих блюд салом. Вполне понятна и не популярность говяжьего мяса в украинской кухне. Все из-за волов, ведь они в Украине были тягловой рабочей силой, на них пахали, ездили по соль, поэтому и мясо у них было жестким и менее пригодным к употреблению. Особой славой пользуются украинские борщи, и в первую очередь полтавский с галушками. Он является одним из шедевров украинского кулинарного искусства.
