In the city of Odesa in Ukraine, there
is a very large Jewish community.
And I believe that in many instances,
these communities have an influence
over national cuisines.
Therefore, the Jewish influence on the
national cuisine of Ukraine is also very large,
and the most important dish
they have is the vorschmack.
Vorschmak is a dish that every
Ukrainian knows very well.
In fact, I love this tartare
made with lightly salted herring,
onions and apples.
