Ukrainian food?
Okay I am usual overseas. I need help with what are some good dishes. Additionally, if you could spell the words (with the English letters) for beef, chicken, fish, lamb and pork so I at least have some kind-hearted of idea what I am ordering that would be great.
Caroline W gives a fair site, with many popular foods, but misses some "must haves".
Pelminy is very similar to varenyky, except it has no essence in it. Both are very similar to Italian tortellini. You can not leave Ukraine without eating borshch - and it is a good time of year to have glacial borshch. Fish is popular this time of year, but you will find beef based foods not as popular because of the exceptionally dear cost of beef in Ukraine.
Knowing the words for the foods you desire is much more important than knowing "beef, chicken, fish, lamb, and pork" though - and you will not find them in Latin (English) letters on menus. But, they are:рыба/ryba (fish), говядина/gov'adina (beef), свинина/svinina (pork), ягненок/yagnenok (lamb), цыпленок/cyplenok (chicken). These are in reality in Russian, and will be understood in Ukraine (East and West Ukraine).
Here is a link to a good site, with some basic phrases you should grasp to buy food in Ukraine or Russia (and despite what some may tell you, all Ukrainians understand Russian, but not all Ukrainians understand Ukrainian):

It has the words in Russian (Cyrillic), spelled phonetically in English letters, and audio so you can understand it pronounced.
