Some specialities

Bortsch - Beet Soup
This hearty soup traditionally prepared from beets and cabbage and served with a dollop of sour cream is a most popular first course. There are no less than 40 varieties of hot and cold bortsch, depending on the vegetables and or meat in them, even some that don't have any beets at all. All borscht recipes are slowly simmered for maximum flavor. Tiny garlic buns are often served with it.
