4. Your British friend wants to discover Belarusian cuisine. What advice will you give him/her?

Belarus is famous for its cuisine. Many tourists come to our country to try Belarusian food. But I advise to try “draniki”. They are potatoes pancakes, sometimes with meat, mushrooms, eggs and vegetables. They are served with sour cream. I think “draniki” is the tastiest Belarusian dish and every family in our country has its own recipe. Grate raw potatoes, add some salt, pepper, onions and eggs. Fry pancakes and serve with sour cream. I’m sure you will like them.

5. What do you think is the best symbol of Belarus?

Belarus also has its national symbols. There is a green stripe on our flag. It is a symbol of our green forests. Belarus is famous for its white storks. People say, they are a symbol of good luck. The white colour is the symbol of peace. The blouses and the shirts in the Belarusian national costume are white with beautiful red ornaments – crosses and stripes. And the symbol of Belarusian fields is cornflower – a small blue flower. PeoplesometimescallBelarustheblue-eyedcountry.
