The Ukrainian national dish is borscht, the well-known beet soup, of which many varieties exist. However, varenyky (dumplings similar to pierogi) and a type of cabbage roll known as holubtsi are also national favourites. These are both a frequent meal in traditional Ukrainian restaurants. These dishes indicate the regional similarities within Eastern European cuisine.
The cuisine emphasizes the importance of wheat in particular, and grain in general, as the country is often referred to as the “breadbasket of Europe”.
