[Applause]
[Music]
so you guys i am here with my beautiful
cousin
[Music]
my beautiful cousin yes you guys may
have seen her in some of my prior videos
a couple years back
but today we are here in odessa and we
are going on an epic epic food tour
where we are going to do breakfast lunch
and dinner covering some of the top
meals that you guys have to try if you
come to ukraine
[Music]
so we are currently at sophie's cafe and
i heard that this is the best place to
come to for the two most popular
ukrainian breakfast dishes which is
syrniki and lione my personal favorite
so i am super excited
all right friends our two ukrainian
breakfast dishes have just arrived and
this looks absolutely amazing over here
we have blindly
which is basically very thin crepes and
inside with this kind we have
which is a type of
kind of cottage cheese farmer's cheese
is what these guys are made of as well
and of course they are served with sour
cream which is a ukrainian staple and
then over here we have syrniki and i
feel like this is a dish that you very
rarely see in north america it is also
made out of that farmer's cheese
and
with flour and eggs they're almost like
little mini pancakes all right so nasty
is going to do a taste test here for us
she is ready to go
there and then we have our second dish
which is
niki uh i probably haven't had these in
over a year so i'm actually really
excited
it's definitely a much denser sort of
pancake but it has this sort of like
satiating feeling to it a real taste of
home
[Music]
nice yeah
foreign
[Music]
so
[Music]
well that was a fantastic boat ride did
you enjoy that nice gift yes of course
that's a lovely way to see
the city and even more lovely we are
actually climbing
the steps
of patient
which is definitely
a workout in and of itself if you guys
have seen the movie battleship potemkin
this is where it was filmed this is the
famous stairs and now we have really
worked up an appetite so
we are going to get some lunch at a
super
traditional ukrainian restaurant
probably the top one in the city it's
called puma nietzsche
[Music]
all right friends we are starting with
the most popular ukrainian dish uh known
to man which is porsche there is some
debate whether it's from russia or
ukraine but i think
more people than not say that this was
initially invented in ukraine this is a
delicious beet soup it's usually made
with a little bit of beef potatoes all
kinds of vegetables it is a crime not to
put sour cream in it so we're just going
to put a big dollop
right in there there we go
looking tasty so now let's do a little
taste test
that is incredible
that is actually
probably the best porsche since i've had
since i had my grandmas i don't think it
beats my grandmas but it's pretty close
they also give you a bit of traditional
bread here it almost looks like little
mushroom stumps you get kind of a
butter garlic aioli to dip it in and
then over here we have a ukrainian beer
my ukrainian is still coming along guys
bear with me but they have really good
beer here as well
all right guys so almost all of our food
has now arrived and nasta is going to be
our taste tester because he likes
sala
i do not a very famous
i don't know i was just you know i
didn't eat it as a kid so for me it's a
bit weird but i think if you eat it you
know quite a bit
i'll try it i'll try it oh
look at that
nice slab masala
ready to go
oh
as i mentioned before ukrainians love
anything pickled they will pickle
anything and everything including
watermelon which i have never honestly
seen in my life i'm actually going to
give that a quick taste test i really
don't think i'm going to like this but
i'm going to give it a try oh my god it
is like soggy look at this oh my god
that actually does not look good okay
well
it's definitely not as bad as i thought
i thought it was gonna like explode in
my mouth of just like salt water so yeah
shockingly enough that actually wasn't
that bad i would recommend trying it i
think this actually right here is also
pear that is pickled
also not bad
i can't say i'm a big pickled person
other than pickles and cabbage but
another really popular thing here is
pickled tomatoes you will usually see
that on every ukrainian new year's table
all right and for our final two dishes
we have my personal favorite which is
olivier
this is the most
traditional i think it is actually maybe
a little bit more russian from what i
know but ukrainians definitely love this
salad it is so delicious it's similar to
i guess
you know canadian american potato salad
though it does have some egg in it and
this dish is absolutely served every new
year so let's give this one a little
taste i think this one is made with
chicken sometimes it is made with ham
this is so so
so good
extremely fattening you don't want to
know the calories in this it is toasted
mayonnaise but it is absolutely
delicious
and last but not least we have our final
dish there is no way we are going to eat
all of this just saying
but we have draniki which is another
really popular ukrainian dish which is a
type of potato
pancakes you can actually eat them in
the mornings or in the evenings either
way they are super good
a taste of home
so after that absolutely amazing meal
nasty and i just made a quick pit stop
at home to grab our beach stuff because
we are going to go there for the sunset
but before we do i wanted to say a big

fruit variety which is a blueberry
variniki which also looks absolutely
delicious
