2. Read and translate the text. Ukrainian hospitality
T
he
hospitality of the Ukrainian people is well-known throughout the
world. When a foreigner comes to Ukraine, first he gets
acquainted with our cookery — national dishes and meal-times.
Frequently he gets to know that in this country they are not the same
as in his. But he has to do in Ukraine as the Ukrainians do.
The usual meals in Ukraine are breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper. Breakfast is the first meal of the day. Lunch or luncheon is a light meal usually in the middle of the day. Dinner is the chief and the most substantial meal. It isn't served at a definite hour in our country. When it is in the middle of the day, the lighter evening meal is called supper.
W
orking
people usually have a break for dinner at their places of employment.
During the break they have either dinner or lunch. In great many
Ukrainian homes dinner is followed by a cup of tea with a slice of
lemon and home-made pastry.
If you have a special dinner, a housewarming party for example, you should know how to lay the table on such an occasion.
First you spread the table-cloth and put out tablemats to protect the table from the hot dishes: a tureen of soup, a bowl of hot vegetables, splatter of meat, a boat of sauce, etc. then you can take out of drawer in the sideboard soup spoons for the soup, spoons for the sweets and all the cutlery — knives and forks, including a small knife for the butter, a small knife and fork for the hors d'oeuvres and a fruit knife for the dessert.
You should put the knives and the soup spoon on the right-hand side and the fork on the left, except the spoon for the sweet, which you should put across the top. Then you put out the bread-board and a knife to cut the bread.
On the left of each guest you put a small plate for bread and on the right a wine-glass. Don't forget to put out the table napkins for each guest and place several salt-cellars.
Once again have a look at the table and see if it is laid for each person. Then you are ready for the friends to come and don't forget to put a bowl of beautiful flowers on the dinner table.
