Fascinating. My maternal grandma made all of these dishes to perfection. She didn't use electrical equipment. All was whipped, stirred, chopped by hand, and tasted marvelous. Nothing tastes as good as her cooking . She was an amazing woman.

I am a Ukrainian woman from Lviv and a Christian, and we cook and eat everything on that list very often. There are some things I like and others I don’t—like the bone "jelly" known as *kholodets*—but it is all very familiar to me.
