My name is Alex. Im 14 years old. I live in one of the most beautiful cities of Russia, in Sochi. My family is quite small. I have got a mother, a father, a younger brother and a cat. My mum is usually responsible for cooking and for buying necessary food. She prepares breakfast, lunch and dinner for all of us. Sometimes my father also cooks. It usually happens at weekends. Both of my parents are good cooks, which is why we prefer eating home-made food. However, sometimes we can also eat out. My father reserves a table in some restaurant or cafe and we spend a great evening together. It usually happens on special occasions. My favourite food is pizza. I like all kinds of pizza and other Italian dishes. For my birthday, my parents always try to arrange a pizza party. There are times when we simply order pizza for lunch or dinner, just because there is no time for cooking. Out of my mum’s home cooking I prefer Ukrainian borscht. It’s a special red cabbage soup, which is tastier to eat with sour cream. Borscht is a traditional Russian and Ukrainian dish and many foreigners want to try it when visiting these countries. In general, I can say that I am a good eater. I like many types of food, among them fruit, vegetables, sweets and cakes, etc. However, there are some products which I don’t like eating. They are mushrooms and fish. My mother knows about it and she tries not to use these products in dishes.
My favorite dish is Borsch. It's a delicious vegetable soup which can be eaten hot or cold. As well as beetroot, hot Borsch can also include beans, cabbage, carrots and potatoes, or meats like chicken or beef. Cold Borsch is usually a plain soup, made from diced beetroot with either lemon juice or sugar to add to the flavour. Borsch is a popular dish in many Eastern and Central European countries, such as Russia, Poland, Germany and the Ukraine. Each country has its own favourite way of preparing this food and each has its own particular way of spelling its name. It's Borschtsch in German, Barszch in Polish and Borsch in Russian and Ukrainian. Whatever you call it, Borsch can be the perfect meal to warm you up on a cold winter day, or a delightful snack when the weather's warmer. It's eaten with friends and family at home or you can find it on the menus of many fine restaurants. I really like Borsch!
Где-то у меня ещё была написана версия про пиццу, но пока не нашла)
