      I am having a hard time explain my waterford girlfriend why I'm watching an Irishman eating Ukrainian food in Belarus. Though I have introduced her to Belgian and Bulgarian cuisine already and she loves pierogi. Typically Irish though she doesn't live for food, but sees it as sustenance. I know that Icehokey is number one in Belarus, but do they have rugby as well? Dublin has a lot of Russians playing rugby while studying and Russian rugby is on the up. Maybe it could all kick off in Belarus too with a Leinsterman (I'm guessing) coaching the first Minsk rugby team :)

    I like how they eat buckwheat a lot over there instead of rice. I love buckwheat and use it in different ways. Too bad more Americans,( like me) don't know much about it being good for you since it's a seed instead of a grain.

    This is very eastern european ! I ate that kind of food when I was a student in Bucharest , Romania . It is not like home made eastern european food ; it has a "special communist flavour" !!! It is very hard to explain the difference of the taste between homemade borsch to communist student cantina borsh. It is not bad or good ; it is just different !!! He likes it because the food there has a "communist taste" with that communist decour with babuskas in the kitchen serving food to students and very cheap communist prices . It is the whole packege that worth 5 stars !!! Maybe now as a westerner you may understand why he gave this good review ...
