Any relationship can be quite challenging, but when dating someone from another country, culture and background, you may have to deal with such obstacles as language barrier, cultural differences and luck of knowledge on your fiancee's perceptions, both about major life issues and about the little nothings of life. Therefore, learning more about Ukrainian cuisine and drinking habits would provide you with good start in your relationship.
Ukrainians are very hospitable and giving and could spend so much time working in their kitchens to ensure that their visitors will not want for anything, especially food. So the first dating tip I want to share with you is expect to be stuffed with the sumptuous meal that your fiancee's mother will feed you. Do not ever say you can not eat anymore or that you are on a diet because they will think you are not welcoming their hospitality or, worse, that you dislike the food and you put little importance in their endeavour to welcome you.
You should know that Ukrainian cuisine includes some very tasty dishes along with some more exotic ones. Among the most traditional Ukrainian dishes there are Borshch (beet soup), Vareniki (sort of Ravioli), Nalisniki (pancakes), Golubsti (cabbage rolls) and Salo with garlic (Pig's fat). Some of these you may like, while others you may hate. So, another one of the Ukraine dating tips is to think out some nice explanation as to why you do not want to eat or even taste some of the food offered to you.
Make it something nice and believable. In the US or in most European countries people do not eat pig's fat. You might feel sick even thinking of eating something like that, but it is no good telling so to your fiancee's family. So, think out ahead of time some reputable reason why you deny their refreshments.
Now let us to go to drinking habits. Generally, Ukrainian men drink a lot, preferring vodka or cognac. In fact this one of the reasons why Ukrainian women prefer to marry foreign men. So if you really want to pursue your Ukrainian dating, follow Tip No.3: Stay sober and do not regale your date with your misadventures in your country's local pub house.
Of course, some ladies in Ukraine do drink a lot of alcohol, but most of them would think it acceptable to drink some wine or liquor on certain occasions, such as dates, celebrations or holidays. Moreover, some ladies make it a condition for the men they wish to date or marry that they would not take any alcohol at all!
Before seeing your girl's family, you should request her to give you a head's up as to her family's drinking habits in order to prepare for visit. If she agrees, you could get a bottle of good vodka, cognac or wine for her family or her father. At any rate, you have to limit yourself to just a few drinks no matter how much her family persuades you to take some more.
Keeping to these simple rules when dealing with Ukrainian cuisine and drinking habits will help you to positively impress your lady and to avoid unnecessary conflicts in your relationships.
