| Guest of Honour, HE Maryam Al Roomi, Minister of Social Affairs |
The Embassy of Ukraine hosted a reception for their 20th anniversary on Sunday. Actually their Independence Day was back in August but this year the Holy Month of Ramadan fell in August, so, understandably they postponed the event.

| Hors-d'Œuvre |
I adore Eastern European cuisine!! In NY I would often go to the East Villege to savour delicious, old-fashioned homey meals.
There must be lots of Russian or Eastern European restaurants in the UAE because of the size of these communities here, but I have never tried any yet. Perhaps it's time I looked for some.

| Ukrainian Boiled Dumplings, Varenyky (Perogy) |
There were 2 types of varenyky; one stuffed with minced beef and the other with mashed potato and mushroom. Try them with lots of sour cream! There was also beetroot horseradish which was tangy and superb.

| Ukrainian Meat Patties |
Sadly there were no potato pancakes (deruny)... :( On the international buffet were satay, salmon in creamy sauce, chicken dishes and so forth.
Caviar was also offered, both the black and yellow types. I hate fish eggs, so I didn't touch them.
