Foods in Ukraine That You Must Try

So if you ever find yourself in Ukraine, here’s a list of traditional Ukrainian foods and drinks you shouldn’t miss trying:

Perogies
This is probably the Ukrainian version of a dumpling, but instead of meat, it is filled with potatoes and sauerkraut. As a result, you get this hearty and filling appetizer.
If you want it to be more savory, mix in some bacon bits in the potato and sauerkraut filling. They are then deep-fried until the pastry cover is slightly browned and crisp.
Pastrmalija
This pastry dish is regarded as the Slavic equivalent of pizza. All of its ingredients are similar, such as dough and meat. There are major differences that set this dish apart from Italian pizza.
For starters, the dough is oval-shaped and the meat used is squared chunks of lamb or sheep. The name is derived from the word pastrma, which means salted and dried meat.
