   T: Our Ukrainian cuisine is one of the most popular ones. You are to listen to the text and to choose the correct answer.

                                                       Ode to borsch

       1. In Ukraine, a meal would be incomplete without a soup course. Be the family rich or poor, soup is a daily "must". Soup never boils with a full boil but simmers gently for hours. Hearty soup, enriched with chunks of meat constitutes the basic meal of any peasant family.

       2.  The varieties of soups are as numerous as the cook's imagination is capable of dreaming up. An ingenious homemaker is able to cook a delicious soup from available products, even when the supplies are low. Though Ukrainian soups are numerous, each having its own name, basically they belong to one or another of the following classifications: vegetable, fish, broth, cereal, cream or milk.

      3. Borsch with its many variations is the most popular as well as the national soup of Ukraine. The true old country style borsch is a mildly tart vegetable soup with beets predominating. It has a good chunk of meat, usually pork, cooking in it together with the vegetables. That's why Ukrainian borsch is a substantial dish, and a meal in itself.

      4. Ukrainians have several varieties of borsch, depending on regional and personal preferences and on the season of the year. The spring borsch made of tender young vegetables is favoured by all. One distinctly different spring borsch is made of sorrel leaves. Mild tartness in borsch gives it a specific character.    

 5. The finishing touches to borsch vary with local and personal tastes. Some like it slightly thickened with a tablespoon of flour or raw egg yolks. Others achieve the same results by cooking a finely diced potato along with the vegetables. To finish borsch in a traditional way, most old country cooks mash together a bit of salted pork with some raw onions to a smooth paste. They claim that without this final touch, borsch lacks its character.

      6. Borsch has one great virtue for a busy homemaker. It can be made a day in advance and reheated without any loss of quality. In fact, experts of borsch are convinced beyond any doubt that a reheated borsch from a previous day is more flavourful than when eaten the same day it is made.
