  6. Borscht (beet soup) Ukraine Serves 6 as Main Dish. Borscht is said to have originated in Kievan-Russ what is today Ukraine though there is a dispute between Kiev and Moscow as to what and who makes the best borscht. Its main ingredient is beetroot but there is a substantial meat either pork ribs,belly or just beef(any cut)sometimes "kapusta smazhana" (or stir fried to wilted cabbage red or green) plus a good serve of beans makes a delicious and truly a hearty soups.

  12. make onion juice great for any meals
  13. Another factor to consider is the types of flours used and many home bakers overlook this fact when trying to replicate a bread loaf Many of the commercial flours be it special or not are just not available to the home baker unless you are prepared to buy in bulk from a distributor if any at all in your area.

    Kolaches

    We have to agree on this

    Kolaches

    Anything that is round is basically a kolo which comes from the word kolo(round or rounded) so one product may have different regional characteristics in Eastern Europe As I said kolach or kalach has the same meaning as challah and is also used in celebrations in (Ternopil and Volyin, Ukraine) around Christmas around Malianka's time (a orthodox religious carnival)which more or less is the same as Hannukah. Many more foods assume different names and used at different times suiting one group or another. Now kolachy with emphasis on the last y may mean a round flat torte in some areas.

    Babka

    That I know of there are two versions of babkas one is savoury(potato) the other sweet(any fruit but mainly apples or iabloko)
  17. Thanks saltshaker I'll try it soon with crudo y queso But the looks of it cake flour is used because of the leavening agent Hope you try this recipe soon
  18. Yes samsa is the word used for samosa but the shape varies from tringular to half moon shape it is also known as kashu'ur in Mongolia and they are baked in tandir(tandoori) ovens check out this uzbek site http://www.angelfire.com/ct/DIVA/UzbekBread.html
  19. I don't agree with what Pan had to say about Chinese empire expansion into Turkemenistan. There was never such a thing as Chinese dominance over Turkic peoples of Turkmenistan or Khazakhstan in fact it was the other way around when Ghengis Khan left the shores of lake Baikal(East Siberia) and lauched an attack on the famous wall. Ghengis Khan and Tamerlan's troops and settled in many parts of the former USSR southern republics and went as far as Poland and Lithuania. A large group of Mongolian troops and families settled in the left bank close to the Caspian sea what today is called Kalmykia on the Volga. Uighurs and Kazakhs and many Russians share a common heritage to be Ural Altaic peoples where Koreans also belong.
  20. If I had to choose one that does not bore me is papaya or mamon with a squirt of wild lemons or tahitian limes

    Kolaches

    The ones I've seen and made look more like the examples in this photo: click The sweet filling is placed into a depression in the dough (shaped like a round bun) before baking rather than being completely surrounded by dough. ← To me these buns above look like buchty (in Slovakia) or bolucky (in Ukraine)
  22. Well if you thought this thread is dead Well the it isn't! I just read about a seafood churros and this is in Spain itself from someone who tried it and now is looking for the recipe:)
  23. Depends on the water added and its quality for high gluten or perotein flour high hydration of about 80% is not uncommon
  24. I did not think anyone would give a damn about South American cooking then again I may have been wrong. Guess time for me to set up a restaurant in your neighbourhood
  25. Para el chuño, hervir el agua. Aparte, disolver el almidón con dos cucharadas de agua fría en un bol. Volcar de golpe el agua hirviendo y batir hasta que la mezcla se vuelva translúcida. Reservar a temperatura ambiente para pintar los panes con esta preparación
