Belarus


This was kind of cheat as I had all the ingredients and found a reference to latkes as a traditional food in Belarus (as well as Russia). I ran with it. Homemade applesauce flavored with star anise, cardamom, and cinnamon was the accompaniment. Not the healthiest meal, but hey, it was dinner.

PS: Belarus's flag is awesome but apparently their democracy is not. Boo!
