So I shot this video originally back in February 2022 and then the war started
on February 24th and we evacuated from the Chernivtsi I'm back again it's around 170 days
after I evacuated this stage we got this statue with Olha Kobylianska draped in the Ukrainian flag
obviously I'm very grateful that I was still able to come back to Chernivtsi and at the moment it looks
unscathed here in the city center the beautiful historic center of the city yeah what else to say
Слава Уркаїні! Героям Слава!
Thank you to all those who have helped Ukraine survive this unprovoked and unjustified
imperial invasion by Russia and I look forward to going back to many of the other cities in
Ukraine that I visited previously that currently I can't do I have them back to Odesa and to Kyiv
but looking forward one day to get back to Kherson where it's been a lot of last summer
anyways let's go and enjoy some tasty borshch поїхали!
So today is the big day it is the vital test for every Eastern European relationship in particular
here in Ukraine that is the borshch test now the borshch test is something I kind of coined
when I was on my first online premium program for helping Western guys in their dating lives
here in Ukraine and in other parts of Eastern Europe Slavic Seduction Secrets and basically
you know there's a there's a risk that a lot of Western men who come here end up being kind of
sponsors and the girls are not really generally interested in them and a way to
check if the woman is genuinely interested is if she's willing to invest in showing you
you know her culinary skills in the sense of Ukraine's national dish or one of their
national dishes which is borshch doesn't have to be borshch but it has to be something similar to
yeah cooking the national dish so anyways we're going to go off and go shopping
I'm going to go and do my job which is open the bottle of wine and yeah this bottle I picked up I
asked specifically what would go with the borshch so I got it's actually from Odesa Oblast which is
appropriate Odesa Mama Villa Tinta apparently it goes with borshch I'm going to open that that's
my job here as the man in the borshch test get the alcohol ready let's see let's get into this okay
pretty good so we got two glasses out here one for the chef
all right a little bit hard to do one-handed with my camera but
I'm going to do the official borshch test
So I need to get some potato in here and get a good scoop of it
and the chicken oh yeah of course smetana
