From Syrniki to Shawarma: A Ukrainian Abroad's Culinary Nostalgia

A recent video by content creator Jean Black has resonated with audiences as he shares a heartfelt tribute to the Ukrainian cuisine he misses most while living abroad. Black, who uploaded the video from France, highlighted three dishes: syrniki, cherry dumplings, and surprisingly, shawarma. Black described syrniki, a type of fried quark pancakes, as "probably the best high-protein meal I've ever tried," likening it to a "prime version of a cheesecake." He expressed an immediate craving, stating, "I need 14 of them right NOW." His second choice, cherry dumplings served with a dollop of sour cream, elicited an even more enthusiastic response. Black humorously claimed that if one has "never had any orgasm, that is very close to one," underscoring the dish's delightful taste. In a surprising twist for his third favorite, Black revealed it wasn't the iconic borscht, but rather a "good shawarma." He explained his habit of trying shawarmas in every country he visits, confidently asserting that "the best one is in Ukraine." To be precise, he specified a location in Kyiv: "Kyiv, Boryspilska metro station, UIA building, 1st floor." Black concluded with a Ukrainian phrase, implying the dish is simply incredible. The video offers a personal glimpse into the cultural significance of food and the nostalgia it evokes for those far from home.
