  • It's been a while since I had a Food O'Clock video so I went along to sample the culinary delights of Столовая #225 БГУИР at No.4 Leanid Bedy Street near Minsk city centre where I tried borscht, buckwheat, pork and washed it down by some fruit compot. It all came to the princely sum of BYR 3.54 (e1.50). Highly recommended. Partizan approves 5/5.

      I am having a hard time explain my waterford girlfriend why I'm watching an Irishman eating Ukrainian food in Belarus. Though I have introduced her to Belgian and Bulgarian cuisine already and she loves pierogi. Typically Irish though she doesn't live for food, but sees it as sustenance. I know that Icehokey is number one in Belarus, but do they have rugby as well? Dublin has a lot of Russians playing rugby while studying and Russian rugby is on the up. Maybe it could all kick off in Belarus too with a Leinsterman (I'm guessing) coaching the first Minsk rugby team :)

    This is very eastern european ! I ate that kind of food when I was a student in Bucharest , Romania . It is not like home made eastern european food ; it has a "special communist flavour" !!! It is very hard to explain the difference of the taste between homemade borsch to communist student cantina borsh. It is not bad or good ; it is just different !!! He likes it because the food there has a "communist taste" with that communist decour with babuskas in the kitchen serving food to students and very cheap communist prices . It is the whole packege that worth 5 stars !!! Maybe now as a westerner you may understand why he gave this good review ...

    I like how they eat buckwheat a lot over there instead of rice. I love buckwheat and use it in different ways. Too bad more Americans,( like me) don't know much about it being good for you since it's a seed instead of a grain.

    You always mention that Borscht has Ukrainian origin (I heard that at least 3 times in different videos). That's not entirely true, because it is a common dish in Eastern Europe (including Belarus and Poland), even more - a lot of Ukrainian recipes/variants went far away from the imaginary original "standard", because Ukrainians colonized the steppes on the South during a modern period and were faced with a new and a bit different climate and foodstuffs. I have an ancient cookbook from the mid. XIX and there are two recipes of Borscht: the local one and the "Ukrainian" one.

      Yes kartofel (картофель) is potatoes in general. Kartoshka (картошка) is a diminutive word of kartofel and is almost always used for potatoes in conversations.

    Privyet, I noticede that you used the word "svilina" to mean pork meat. Is it common to say svilina or baranina or govyadina more than just saying myasa? Thank you if you answer im just a beginner with this language and in a little time i will come to belarus to study!

      If you want to emphasize which kind of meat you want, you need to name it: swinina, govyadina, etc. But if you want to refer to meat in general, you can say myaso

      "swinina" not "svilina"

    This is another stolovaya very much the same as the one in your video . I wrote a tiny review for it and uploaded some photos on google maps a year or so ago
    I love these types of places
