Modern Belarusian cookery is based on old national traditions which have undergone a long historical evolution.
But the main methods of traditional Belarusian cuisine are carefully kept by the people.
Common in Belarusian cuisine were dishes from potato which is called among people "the second bread".
The Belarusians bring fame to their beloved potato in their verses, songs, dances.
There are special potato cafes in the country where you can try various potato dishes.
Potato is included into many salads, it is served together with mushrooms, meat.
The most popular among the Belarusians are traditional draniki, thick pancakes, prepared from shredded potatoes.
All the members of my family enjoy the potato dishes very much.
A lot of place in the diet of the Belarusians belongs to meat and meat products, especially to the pork and salted pork fat.
The salted pork fat is used slightly smoked and seasoned with onions and garlic.
Dishes prepared from meat are usually served together with potatoes or vegetables such as carrot, cabbage and so on.
Of flour dishes the most popular is zacirka. Pieces of specially prepared dough are boiled in water and then poured over with milk or garnished with salted pork fat.
Myadukha, berezavik, kvas, beer are traditional Belarusian drinks.

NATIONAL CUISINE of ENGLISH-SPEAKING COUNTRIES
Let's talk about national cuisine of an English-speaking country. What do you know about British and American food?
Traditional English cuisine is substantial but simple. The English have three main meals a day. Breakfast is between 8 and 9 a. m. Lunch is a light meal or snack. Dinner is the main meal of the day. This meal usually consists of roast meat, Yorkshire pudding and two kinds of vegetables.

Most visitors see English breakfast as the typical version of eggs, bacon, sausages, fried bread, mushrooms and baked beans, with a cup of tea or coffee. Today, however, a typical English breakfast is normally a bowl of cereal, a slice of toast, orange juice and tea or coffee.
Sunday lunch is different. It consists of roast meat, different kinds of vegetables, always including roast potatoes with Yorkshire pudding, a flour based batter cooked in the oven.
Traditionally dinner was similar to Sunday Lunch. But today most people in Britain prefer rice or pasta for dinner. Fresh vegetables grown in England are also popular, such as peas, carrots, cabbage, onions and potatoes.
I want to say that some traditional foods have remained English favourites. Fish and Chips is the most famous English food.
2. Do you agree that American food is more popular than British one? Yes, I do. Because American food is based on fast food. And fast food is very popular all over the world.
3. What questions can you ask a British friend about their eating habits? What is your favourite British drink? What dish would you recommend me? How many times do you prefer to have meals every day?
4. What national dishes would you recommend to order in a British restaurant? I would recommend to order some of the various British puddings, beef and pork dishes and delicious desserts.
5. Fast food is very popular all over the world. Do you like it? Why (not)? I don’t like fast food because it is harmful for our health. As for me I prefer to eat not only tasty but healthy food.

SHOPPING
1. Let's talk about shopping. Who does the shopping in your family?When we want to buy something, we go to a shop. There are many kinds of shops in every town or city, but most of them have a food supermarket, a department store, men's and women's clothing stores, grocery, a bakery and a butchery.
I like to do my shopping at big department stores and supermarkets. They sell various goods under one roof and this is very convenient. You can buy everything you like there.
In a food supermarket we can also buy many different things at once: sausages, fish, sugar, macaroni, flour, cereals, and tea. At the butcher's there is a wide choice of meat and poultry. At the bakery you buy brown and white bread, rolls, and biscuits.

My parents do most of the shopping in our family. They usually drive to the supermarket where they go to the grocery, greengrocery, meat and fish departments and buy all the food we need for our family. They usually do it once a week.
Sometimes shopping is a kind of pastime and even entertainment for me and my mother. We can spend hours walking from one shop to another in search of something special.
2. Do you like shopping? Why (not)? I like shopping because modern shopping centres do their best to prove to you that shopping may be fun. That’s why they tend to combine shopping and leisure. Besides a great variety of stores, shops and outlets one can find there theme parks with rides, amusements and games. If you are tired you can enjoy delicious food in a restaurant or just have a snack in a cafeteria or a café.
3. What questions can you ask your friend about the best shopping places in your native town? What is the best shopping centre in Gomel? In what shop do you prefer to buy clothes? Do you prefer to buy clothes in the market or in the shop?
4. Advise your friend how to spend his/her pocket money. I advise him to spend them on something really tasty in his school canteen.
