Okovitka Okroshka Olady (Oladi, Oladye) Olivier Opana Osia Osnetki

TRANSLATE INTO RUSSIAN

Okovitka Vodka, foamed beer		Okroshka Okroshka is a summer vegetable soup with kvas instead of meat broth. This spicy, cold Russian soup was a favorite of the rebellious Crimean government. The Ukrainian equivalent is called kholodnyk and there is some debate as to which ingredients compose the quintessential okroshka. All agree that its tangy taste comes from kvas, the pungent drink made from ferrmented bread which serves as its base. Many lovers find inspiration in the combination of diced potatoes, meat, radish, cucumber, green onion, and boiled egg, with milk and hearty helpings of both kvas and fresh dill.
Olady (Oladi, Oladye) Another kind of pancakes in Russia, they are small and very thick. You can put 5-6 Oladyi on the pan. The base of batter for oladyi can be buttermilk or sour milk or kefir.		Olivier Traditional holiday salad from boiled cubed vegetables and meat and dressed with mayonnaise.
