I thought I should start keeping record of the things that I eat around here. Most of the Ukrainian food I eat is delicious, but there have been (and I am sure will continue to be) many highlights.
Yesterday, whilst I was working at the seminary this lovely jar of food was delivered to ME, who I work with. I was not quite sure what it was, but I figured I could take a guess. It looked like green beans to me. Boy, was I WRONG!
It is actually a jar of pickled garlic shoots and I ate some. They were not as flavourful as I expected them to be - certainly not overwhelming in garlic taste. They were squishy and stringy. I was surprised that they were chilled ... or that could have been because it was so cold out yesterday ... who knows. Mostly, if I were to describe their taste, I would say they tasted like pickled green beans without the little green bean seeds. Of course, I would have to know what pickled green beans tasted like to make an exact comparison ...
