1. What's your favorite breakfast meal?

My favorite breakfast meal is pancakes with syrup and fresh fruits. I love how fluffy and sweet they are, and they give me a great start to the day. Sometimes, I also enjoy having a side of scrambled eggs or bacon to balance the sweetness with some savory flavors.

2. What breakfast can you prepare?

I can prepare several breakfast dishes, but one of the easiest and quickest is scrambled eggs. Here’s how I do it:

• First, I crack 2-3 eggs into a bowl.
• Then, I whisk them with a fork until the yolks and whites are combined.
• Next, I heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a bit of butter.
• Once the butter is melted, I pour the eggs into the pan.
• I gently stir the eggs as they cook until they are soft and fluffy.
• Finally, I season them with salt and pepper and serve them warm.

3. How similar/different is the breakfast in the UK and your country?

The breakfast in the UK is quite different from breakfast in my country. In the UK, a traditional breakfast often includes items like baked beans, sausages, bacon, eggs, and toast, which is quite hearty. In contrast, in my country, we might have lighter options like yogurt with fruit, oatmeal, or a simple sandwich. However, both cultures enjoy tea or coffee in the morning, which is a nice similarity.

4. What foods are popular in your country?

In my country, several foods are very popular:

• Pelmeni – dumplings filled with meat.
• Borscht – a beet soup that is often served with sour cream.
• Blini – thin pancakes that can be served with various fillings.
• Shashlik – skewered and grilled meat, often enjoyed at picnics.

These dishes reflect our rich culinary traditions and are enjoyed by many people, both at home and in restaurants.
