ANCIEN NOUVEL AN

On January 13, bears the name oxymoron of "old new year". It is the New Year's date in the old calendar. On this day, the Russians are cooking varenikis. It is a Slavic dish of unleavened dough stuffed with meat, potatoes, mushrooms, fruits, etc. But on this special occasion, we do not only eat simple varenikis, some of them being also stuffed with surprises supposed to deliver omens for the coming year: a varenik with a small piece of sugar will be a symbol of sweetness of life, another with a yarn of wool predicts a long journey, another with a piece is a good sign for business to come... In short, if you are invited to a family that day, chew carefully if you want to enjoy the coming year!
