Belarusian national cuisine

Modern Belarusian cookery is based on old national traditions which have undergone a

long historical evolution.

Dishes are typically based on local vegetables and cereals especially potatoes, beetroot,

mushrooms, berries and barley. Potatoes are called among people “the second bread”.

Potato is included into many salads, it is served together with mushrooms, meat; different

pirazhki (patties). The most popular dish is traditional draniki, thick pancakes, prepared

from shredded potatoes.

A lot of place in the national diet belongs to meat and meat products, especially to the

pork and salted pork fat. Dishes prepared from meat are usually served together with

potatoes or vegetables.

Soups play an important role in Belarussian cuisine. There are two types of soups: hot

and cold. Most popular are beetroot soup (bosch), bouillon, cabbage soup (shchy) and

chilled soup.

Of flour dishes the most popular is zatsirka.

Sweets are not very popular. Instead of cooked sweets people eat a lot of berries and

fruit in their natural form. Belarusians also drink sweet juices from birch and maple trees.

The symbols of Belarus

The stork

From early spring till late autumn there are thousands of storks in the sky over Belarus. That’s why the

stork is one of the symbols of Belarus/ It symbolizes the national purity, peace and good luck. There are

lots of people in Belarus who build platforms on the roof or posts to attract storks & good luck at the

same time.

The cornflower

One of the legends says that the C is associated with our inner world and values/ Cornflowers grew in

the fields where peasants worked. They could see this beautiful flower and understand that not only

material things are important, there are other things such as beauty, love, culture and poetry. Another

version is that the C has the same characteristics as the people of Belarus. They are modesty. Patience,

hospitality & friendliness.

The bison

The bison lives only in Belovezhskaya Pushcha and it’s another symbol of Belarus. The bison is a mighty

peace-loving animal. It never hurts anyone until it is hurt itself. The people in Belarus are the same. The

people in Belarus are the same. They are friendly, tolerant and peace-loving.
