Available from Profimodeller for € 55,-
First some history
The V1 (or Vergeltungswaffen 1 > Retribution weapon 1) was the first ever unmanned jetplane that flew. It's nicked Buzz-bomb because of the buzzing sound the pulse jet engine made. The official name however is Fi-103 as it was built by the Fieseler factory. Yes, the same factory that built the Fieseler 156 Storch! Another, less known name for the V1 was FZG-76. Meaning Flakzielgerät 76 and hinting at use as an anti aircraft missile. This was the official program name and used to mislead allied intelligence. Other nicknames used by the germans were Krähe (crow) and Maikäfer (May bug) on Hitler's orders. The latter alike to yet another nickname used by the allies: Doodlebug, after the distinctive popping sound the engine made.
The V1 was powered by the As014 Argus Pulsejet and drank 75 Octane gasoline. The starting procedure was quite the ritual and involved electric starters, airhoses and a powered ramp with a steam powered piston. The V1 reached a speed of 580 km per hour as it left the ramp! The V1 called for high speeds as the V1 was prone to stalling due to the small wings. Cruising speed was about 640 km per hour (400mph) and the reach was about 250 km. A relative small distance, which required take-off from Holland, Belgium and France in order to reach Great Britain. Remains of these take-off ramps can still be found in these countries. The ramp actually fired a plunger with a hook that pulled the V1. This plunger would land a considerable distance further in the fields. Take-off was also done from the wing of a bomber. A risky procedure where 77 bombers were lost during the launch procedure, take-off or mission.
Here's a look at a V1 mounted on a ramp in France:
And here's a look at the plunger that pushed the V1 along the ramp:
You can see the tube the plunger travelled through and the opening on the top for the hook on the plunger:
The culprits...
So, the V1 is not a rocket (as it is sometimes called) but rather a plane, since it has wings and a jet engine propulsion (and not a rocket).
This would make an interesting model. The He111 with a V1 slung under it's wing:
At the peak of it's use more than 100 V-1's were fired at England, with a total of almost 16.000 produced of which 2400 'landed' on London (fired from France) and 2400 hit Antwerp (fired from Holland). The rest didn't make it to their launch. No wonder that many V-1's survived and found their way to museums worldwide. Some completely original, some part replica and some restored from collected parts. The 2 spherical pressure tanks, wound by pianowire. The small propellor at the tip of the nose that measured the travelled distance. The fuel injection frame at the front of the pulse jet. All very recognizable parts when looking at dug up remains of a V1.
The V1 in 1/32
The V1 is a subject that somehow eluded the 1/32 modelling scene through the years. Yes we have the 1/35 Bronco offering (which is not very detailed nor accurate) but that's about it! If you want to mate the V1 with the wing of a He-111 or combine it with another 1/32 subject the scale difference between 1/35 and 1/32 will become evident. Having built the 1/32 HPH Reichenberg (basically manned V1) and both the 1/35 Bronco Reichenberg I was shocked to see how much these differed in size. Talking of the HPH Reichenberg and looking at the first photo's I saw of this kit, I suspected most parts to be a copy (or perhaps shared moulds) from the HPH offering. Having inspected the resin parts at hand, I can tell you that they are not. Timeline-wise it's interesting that Profimodeller first released two different transport trolley's for the V1 before they released the V1 itself. Two very comprehensive and well researched kits with insane detail:
• The transport trolley (kit P32280)
• The V1 Anhänger (kit P32247) >> Review here (scroll down).
This kit is in fact one of the first real standalone kits Profimodeller releases. If you don't count the above carts… it actually is, so it is interesting to look at the whole package in this review: Decals, part break down, engineering, schemes and instructions.
So let's take a closer look at this very first kit Profimodeller produces! A rather small box opening at the top, containing three bags. Two with resin parts (big > fuselage and wings) and small (engine, rudder, nose cone, etc..) and one bag with the decals and photoetch.
The first thing I looked at was the surface structure on the wings and fuselage. Pretty delicate rivets and fine panel lines is what you find. Also the overlapping panels and fuselage strengtheners are well done. When you look at the inside of the fuselage you'll find locating holes for small rods that serve as locating pins. Same technique you'll find on HPH and Silverwings kits. The most challenging bit is trying to mate the fuselage halves, removing the seam and restoring small rivets and panel lines that you will loose when sanding. A dry-fit tells me that this will be minimal with this kit. The forward fuselage is moulded separately. Perhaps to avoid the risk of warping or breaking, or just to make them easier to cast. The lip that is made along the vertical seam will help you to make a strong joint.
Fuselage parts and wings:
Just like the real thing, the fuselage has two holes in the sides to accommodate the tubular beam that supports the wings. The beam is included, but I would suggest to replace this with proper brass tube! Much stronger. And when posing the V1 with the wings off (like I will) a brass tube will look more convincing too. The wings differ from the Reichenberg wings in the sense that the V1 was steered by a gyroscopic device from the tail planes and rudder. The Reichenberg also had ailerons on the main wings.
Nosecone:
The smaller resin details contain the engine that are cast almost solid. HPH offers a 2 piece resin front of the engine (intake and body) and metal tube for the rear. I added my own weld line along this metal tube (since this is a prominent feature on the V1 engine). Profimodeller takes a different route and offers the engine in 3 resin parts with cast on weld line. Pretty slick.
Other parts cover the tail which is very nicely done with almost all the details. The only thing I'm missing is a small inspection hole in the tailpiece that shows the rudder control mechanism. As on the HPH kit, I will add this detail myself.
The photoetch is nicely done and contains the rudder control, fuselage strengtheners, the Argus fuel injection frame and an extra cool feature that I will definitely include: a transport nose protector that protected the small nose propeller during transport. What's also included are the details on the wingroots that will be visible in transport configuration. Another detail I had to scratch on my HPH Reichenberg.
Another great detail this kit captures nicely is the inside of the intake. The intake starts round and then goes to a square shape further in. I love this attention for the real thing.
The schemes
6 of them. And as I mentioned before… diverse! The only thing I'm missing is background information on the different schemes. Especially when doing a diorama it would be important to know what scheme suits what situation. I guess you'll have to do your own homework here! The scheme with the blue broad band around the fuselage kind of speaks to me, and I'll try to figure out where and when it was used. Part of the fun I guess. The decals are actually all stenciling for the ground crew as no unit badges or crosses were applied on the V1.
Dare I compare this kit to the HPH Ohka and Reichenberg? Yes! Since they are the only game in town to compare this kit to! We all know HPH has raised the bar when it comes to resin kits with smart engineering and superb detail. Well… It looks like we have another company that wants to play along. This kit is complete. Well engineered (just look at the fuselage break down), well researched and nicely cast. The casting blocks and flash are easy to remove. The schemes that are included are diverse and many. What else can you wish for?
A solid 9 out of 10.
Keep an eye out for my imminent build of this kit, together with it's transport trolley.
My sincere thanks to Profimodeller for providing the review sample. Get your copy right here.

I never knew the V1 had so many schemes.
Great looking little kit with some very nice detail. I really do need to roll my Komet and Anhänger when you do this one.
Jup, the one with the blue band (see what I did there ) is the one I would build. Very cool subject to build and the possibilities are endless. I would love to build one under a He111 but that's something of a long term project...

Damnit, Just ordered along with the transport trolley.
Great review.
note to self, don't read the reviews, just means more expense.
Kit and trolley arrived yesterday. Hurrah, looks very nice. Had one breakage on the fuselage but a clean break so should be easy fix.
May make a start on it shortly as a little side project whilst other builds are drying etc.

Great review, I see some great diorama opportunities here!


2018 was "the worst year ever for smartphone shipments," according to the research firm IDC.
"Globally the smartphone market is a mess right now," IDC analyst Ryan Reith said in a statement. "Outside of a handful of high-growth markets like India, Indonesia, Korea, and Vietnam, we did not see a lot of positive activity in 2018."
So why the shipment drop? According to IDC, people are holding off upgrading to the newest phones like they used to. Many consumers also have gripes with the rising prices.
Another big factor is the economic uncertainty, particularly in China, which accounts for about 30 percent of the world's smartphone consumption. The country had an "even worse 2018 than the previous year," with shipments down over 10 percent, the research firm said.
IDC wasn't alone in its assessment. Canalys, a separate research firm, also reported a 4.6 percent year-over-year decline in the smartphone market. "It is no shock to smartphone vendors that the market has passed its peak," said Ben Stanton, an analyst with Canalys. "People are clearly keeping phones for longer as product innovation slows."
The challenges facing the smartphone market are expected to continue into 2019. To generate sales, vendors will have to come up with more attractive products that better balance new smartphone features with compelling design and affordability, IDC said.
"The arrival of both 5G and foldable devices later this year could bring new life to the industry depending on how vendors and carriers market the real-life benefits of these technologies," according to IDC analyst Anthony Scarsella.
"However, we expect these new devices to elevate average selling prices as new displays, chipsets, and radios will bring an increased price," he added.
In 2018, Samsung remained the leading smartphone vendor; Apple came in second place and Huawei was a close third.
Huawei's smartphone shipments experienced the most year-over-year growth among the top five vendors, Canalys said, due to big gains in China and foreign markets. "However, moving into 2019, it now faces a critical challenge, as political tensions, security concerns, and disputes over intellectual property theft threaten to disrupts its remarkable momentum," the research firm said.

The Audi A5 DTM to take to the Munich track on the 14th
By Paul Blaine
| Monday, July 16, 2012

The Audi A5 DTM is set to visit the Munich Olympic Stadium for the second time and this is a sight which every car lover longs to witness. To catch a glimpse of the massive beast and to get an autograph of the Audi drivers, you need to be present at the event, to be held on the 14th and 15th of July.
Last year there were around 50,000 people watching the grand DTM race in Munich and this year the organizers are hoping to increase the number by a considerable margin.
The event to be held across two days will be in a knock out format and numerous DTM machines with professional drivers at their helm are going to race around the track for a shot at the numero uno spot.
There is however a few minor changes that are set to make things even better this year. For example, the race is going to be held in two separate mirror tracks, the runoff areas have been increased to allow the drivers to take their vehicles even closer to the edge and the tarmac has been improved for additional grip. These features are sure to be a treat for sore eyes.
The advantage of this DTM track is that, the spectators have an unhindered view of the whole race track from any given point of the stadium. Apart from this, there are large television screens to offer visuals of the total track as well.
The race will be held on a completely new format, the relay mode. The DTM producers, Audi, BMW and Mercedes Benz, are going to compete for the manufacturer's title and three drivers from each manufacturer, who will participate, have to turn the pits and score the maximum number of point. The team to score the maximum will receive a bye to the next round of the event.
The system is a direct duel, pit stops and tire changing time included. The favorites for the event are definitively Audi, as they have already won the previous DTM manufacturer's duel. However, the competition can never be included as in this stage you never know when the rivals may bounce back and take you completely by storm.
BMW for instance have the new M3 DTM and this car is a monster. With improved engine output, balanced suspension, advanced transmission system, this car is the one to watch out for.
The makers are however confident of the Audi A5 DTM and hope to secure the title similar to the previous year. Everything is left at the hands of Mattias Ekström, the two times DTM champion for Audi.
Both driver and manufacturer are confident of their success and the final standings are however awaited. Edoardo Mortara was however the first to clinch a title for Audi in the beginning of June in the DTM category and his expertise is also needed to win the relay race.
Overall, the event is set to be a success and the 14th is being awaited. Racing enthusiasts cannot hold their nerves till the date and people are rooting for the best car and driver to win.

Q: Power Automate bug Situation - I have encountered bug in Power Automate connector "SharePoint" action "List folders" behavior.
Detailed description - action second argument "File Identifier" is a relative path to file. It can be picked via GUI where you can navigate site structure and pick folder through path. Upon clicking target folder, argument input field gets populated with path. It is simple text field.. or so I thought. If such value is provided manually, it throws error. Only if value is encoded, it passes validation. See screenshots below.
Problem - manually entered path is not escaped, therefore invalid. This is NOT acceptable, since argument is an open input field that allows manual data entry.

Question - where to report the issue/bug?
I see community forum with discussions or "idea board", but I am interesed that Microsoft takes care of this inconsistent action behavior and forum does not seems to be a good fit.

Contacted MS support - posted in idea portal.

Chatham County Line's bluegrass revival
The group's Dave Wilson talks about their impressive career
Chatham County Line w/Mipso @Tybee Post Theater
Fri., May 3, 8 P.M., $25/$30 premium
Visit tybeeposttheater.org for tickets
IF YOU'RE unfamiliar with Chatham County Line, a good time to correct that would be on Fri., May 3 at the Tybee Post Theater. The group, founded over 20 years ago by North Carolina musicians making the transition from country rock to bluegrass, will be sharing the stage with fellow North Carolina buzz band Mipso as part of a short run of dates together.
Ahead of the gig, we caught up with the band's guitarist Dave Wilson, who took time during the band's stint at MerleFest to chat about their career and their latest project.
You guys have known each other for a long time, right?
Wilson: Yeah, the band's been together since the turn of the century!
How did you all get together?
Wilson: We were in separate country rock bands, back in the 90s. Greg [Readling], our bass player, plays pedal steel as well. We were in kind of a Gram Parsons wannabe band. We played a house party and Chandler [Holt, banjo player] was there, and he went back and told his good buddy John [Teer, mandolin and fiddle player] that he should come and see a show.
He came and saw us play, and we just started to get together and do the acoustic thing. Greg and I played with Tift Merrit for years—we were playing her tour send off party in Bynum, North Carolina. Chris Stamey was there, who you might know from the dB's.
I've met Chris a few times through my friend Peter Holsapple [dB's co-founder]. He's a great guy!
Wilson: Great guys! So Chris talked to the people at Yep Roc Records and actually got us a record deal and produced our first few albums. Chris is indispensable in the history of the band. He just saw us at the show, and one thing led to another. Look at us now! We've got seven studio albums, a live collection, and we just put out this album of covers. We're still loving it.
Did you feel like there was a chemistry right away? Some bands tend to kind of have a bit of a growth period early on.
Wilson: I think we're still enjoying the growth period in a lot of ways. I'd been a songwriter for a while, but I'd written this song after something I read in Bill Monroe's biography. That song kind of started to solidify the fact that the band could work together and create something new in what we felt was a somewhat stagnant genre in some ways.
It's still enjoyable—we actually just recorded our next album in Kernersville, North Carolina, at Mitch Easter's studio [The Fidelitorium].
I love Mitch! I've known him for a long time.
Wilson: He's such a great guy, man. We love the Fidelitorium! We did a whole batch of new tunes and got a buddy to come play drums on it. So we're still growing and learning.
On the topic of Chris being a big part of your history—that is sort of an interesting pairing on paper, given his association with the kind of new wave-y, art rock stuff. What did he bring to the table early on when you were making those records?
Wilson: Well, everybody in the band grew up on pop music. I didn't grow up on bluegrass in any way, shape or form. Chris helped to cement our pop sensibilities as writers and players. Whereas if we'd used a real bluegrass-y dude to come in and produce, we might have ended up just in a different world.
It seems like it gives you a leg up in the sense that sonically they don't necessarily sound like traditional bluegrass records.
Wilson: It's funny. On the new record that we just recorded, we kinda went back and did it the Stamey way; tracking things separately and looking at it like a project as opposed to doing it live in a room.
The great thing about Mitch's place is that it's all about the vibe and he's got so many instruments. Did you lean into that and feel the freedom to really just try anything?
Wilson: Yeah, I mean, at this point in our career there are no rules. We had fun! We broke out the Juno-60 and had fun with that thing. There's just so many toys. I'm very Feng Shui-oriented in a studio, and that's one of the things I like about working at Mitch's place.

Connecting To Greenwood With Our Hearts: Tulsa Resident Finds Treasure In Descendants, Documents
KOSU | By Crystal Patrick | Next Generation Radio
Ard Su
Carlos Moreno spent much of the last two decades collecting stories and discovering a treasure trove of information on Tulsa's Greenwood District. Those have now all been compiled into his new book, The Victory of Greenwood. He hopes that by telling the stories of those who lived in the district that readers will see them as more than just names on a page.
"When I discovered everything that I discovered, it was like opening a treasure chest," Carlos Moreno said. "There would be a little piece in one book and another little piece in another book and when you put all these pieces together, you get this picture of a very rich life that this person lived."
When Moreno, a graphic designer and community activist, moved to Tulsa from San Jose, Calif., in 1998, he never imagined he'd be sharing stories from the Greenwood elders more than 20 years later.
With his first book The Victory Of Greenwood premiering in the year of the Tulsa Race Massacre centennial, Moreno's' hope is that those who read it grasp that the victims were real people.
His journey to learning the real history of Greenwood and the events leading to the massacre began in the early 2000s while he was freelancing for The Oklahoma Eagle, the oldest Black newspaper in Tulsa and the first Black daily newspaper in the country.
"They wanted to create, kind of, a special issue of the newspaper where people could really understand about the massacre and about the history of Greenwood," Moreno said. "I kind of didn't know at that time how valuable an experience that really was until much later."
While he was working on graphics for the special issue, Moreno was also learning about the history from descendants of those who were impacted by the Tulsa Race Massacre.
Crystal Patrick
Carlos Moreno stands at the entrance to ONEOK Field baseball park in Greenwood district of Tulsa, Okla., with more new construction in the background. Both structures were considered controversial by the citizens of Greenwood.
At the same time, Moreno began working with Don Ross, a former Oklahoma State Senator, on his computers. Ross helped bring the previously hidden events of the violence to light in the 1970s — despite attempts to suppress and conceal important details — when he published an objective article about the massacre by historian Ed Wheeler in Impact Magazine in 1971.
"I can remember just hearing stories from people like Don Ross," Moreno said. "He didn't trust computer stores or our computer repair shops, so any time his computer would break down, he would just call me. The whole time I'm there...what do you have to do, but just tell me stories?"
Those conversations are what led Moreno to developing relationships with other direct descendants of the massacre. Through his journey and conversations with the people of Greenwood, Moreno discovered not only was the mob violence kept hidden, but the accomplishments and resilience of the community was concealed as well.
As a result, his understanding of the district and the massacre evolved from a curiosity about what happened to a passion to tell the victims' stories from the most accurate lens possible.
The Victory of Greenwood by Carlos Moreno
By bringing stories of Greenwood founders like O.W. Gurley, John and Lulu Williams to life in his book of biographies, The Victory of Greenwood, readers can learn, as Moreno did, from first-hand accounts of people who experienced the massacre and their descendants, not a textbook.
"The current narrative we have is just completely wrong, you know, and so it just really got to me so much that people weren't looking through the same lens that I had learned about Greenwood from and that people weren't digging into the primary documents to learn the real history," Moreno said.
One of Moreno's biggest takeaways was that for the people who had heard about the Greenwood massacre, the context surrounding the violence was omitted.
Moreno came to the conclusion that the theft of Greenwood started in 1921 and has continued to this day. The first theft was the massacre, but after the rebuilding, another theft came with urban renewal. Moreno feels especially connected to this story because his childhood neighborhood in San Jose also suffered the effects that many Black and brown communities did with the Federal Aid Highway Act; their businesses and homes were lost due to eminent domain.
"I think the thing that's kind of most missing from the conversation about Greenwood and about the centennial is that the massacre wasn't just an isolated event," Moreno said. "It was planned beforehand... the city tried to prevent Greenwood from rebuilding afterwards. And Greenwood is still getting destroyed today by building all these new buildings."
This metal placard on the sidewalk reads: "Black Wall Street 1921- Meeks Building 102 North Greenwood. Destroyed 1921. Reopened." Placards in the sidewalks identify businesses from the time of the massacre and whether they were rebuilt afterwards.
Although the structures of Greenwood were destroyed, the community rebuilt; it wasn't completely decimated as the common narrative implies. Citizens, without local or federal aid, not only rebuilt Greenwood, but expanded greater than the area terrorized in 1921.
The buildings there now stand as a testimony of Greenwood's resilience despite Highway I-244, built in 1967, which cuts the original historic 40 blocks of Greenwood in half. Today, placards built into the sidewalks line what was once Black Wall Street identifying businesses from the time of the massacre and whether or not they were rebuilt afterwards. The new buildings around the historic district seem far removed from the Black economic engine that Greenwood once was.
"At what cost and at what expense, and who gets to decide Greenwood's fate and its future?" Carlos said. "I don't see it being the people of Greenwood, so these are difficult conversations that I don't think Tulsa is ready to have yet."
To coincide with the centennial of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Moreno is releasing his book of biographies, The Victory of Greenwood.
"I want to help people connect to Greenwood more with their hearts than with their minds," Moreno said.
Buildings that were reconstructed after the bombing of Greenwood line the street. Scorched bricks from the massacre were used in the reconstruction of 108 N. Greenwood as a reminder of the violence that happened one hundred years ago.

Q: E488 trailing characters VIM I am very new to VIM and am trying to figure out where the trailing characters are. I have looked through :help and the meaning of the error message. As far as I can tell, am I supposed to replace "'s with the escape character? What would the syntax look like? Thank you.

Using :set list

A: The :quit command never takes an argument.
:q /opt/tmp/file.py

should either be:
:wq /opt/tmp/file.py    " write buffer to file /opt/tmp/file.py then quit window

or:

Brazil ratifies in Germany its commitment to sustainable agriculture and respect for the environment
Sharing cash for farmers, one of the biggest post Brexit challenge, say experts
Tuesday, April 10th 2018 - 09:09 UTC
The UK received £3.4 billion in Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) payments in 2016, with England allocated significantly less per person than the other nations.
According to the IfG, Northern Ireland received £177.64 per person, Wales and Scotland around £94 and England £41.46
Quitting the European Union means the UK will have to go back to the drawing board over devolution, constitutional experts have warned. Wrangles over sharing out cash for farmers will be one of the biggest challenges ministers face, according to the Institute for Government (IfG).
New agreements on how the environment, agriculture and fisheries are dealt with when powers return from Brussels are urgently needed, it said. Failing to secure new ways to cooperate between the four governments will disrupt the economy and hit the environment, the think tank warned.
Jill Rutter, IfG Brexit program director, said: "The past year has shown the strain leaving the EU is placing on devolution arrangements designed on the assumption of UK membership."
"It is time for an overhaul. It is in the interests not only of the UK government, but also the devolved governments, to develop firm foundations for future joint working – to promote collaboration and innovation."
"Only then will we have the right environment, agriculture and fisheries policies for the whole country after Brexit."
The UK received £3.4 billion in Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) payments in 2016, with England allocated significantly less per person than the other nations. According to the IfG, Northern Ireland received £177.64 per person, Wales and Scotland around £94 and England £41.46
As well as an agreement on how money should be allocated after Brexit, a decision must also be taken on what restrictions are placed on how the funding is spent, the IfG said. Although some of it will fall under international rules, such as World Trade Organization (WTO) regulations, they will not be enough to prevent market distortion within the UK.
"For example, current WTO rules would not prevent the Scottish government from substantially subsidizing beef farmers, even if the UK government chose not to do so in England, which would give an advantage to Scottish beef farmers trading within the UK," the report said.
The IfG called for an urgent review of the Joint Ministerial Committee, the forum for the UK and devolved governments to meet. All four administrations need to agree news ways of dealing with international trade and processes for settling disputes, according to the report.
Westminster's parliamentary committees must hold joint probes with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in relevant areas, the IfG also recommended. It said the creation of public bodies to replace EU institutions should be "four-nation by default", including Environment Secretary Michael Gove's plan for an environmental watchdog for England.
Martin Harper, RSPB's director of global conservation, said: "Nature knows no borders. For very good reason the EU has set common standards on a broad range of environmental issues that affect us all."

Yes, WE can decide where the money goes instead of what goes on now. Thats a major reason that so many voted to get out.

Dexy: Drop Your Hand – single review
Iain Key
Drop Your Hand
DL and Streaming
Dexy, South London Singer-songwriter, follows up his 2017 debut album Tear It Down with single Drop Your Hand this week. A talented musician with a wide array of influences; from George Harrison to Elliot Smith and Big Star to Dolly Parton. The latter perhaps the most telling on this release with a modern country lilt to Dexy's melodic right hook with 60's inspired vocals.
For this track Dexy worked with Steve Horry, comics writer and artist, record producer and occasional collaborator of Eddie Argos. Written during the summer of 2020, Dexy says, "it's about moving on from negative experiences in your life, which can be painful and disappointing at first but ultimately cathartic."
2021 is already looking up with a full album on the cards. Working with reputable producer, Adrian Hall, it's set to feature a roster of special guests including Lucero's Rick Steff and Fightmilk vocalist Lily Rae.
If you can't wait until then, Dexy will also be marking the release of the single by performing a live set via Instagram on Wednesday 9th December at 7pm

Ukrainian cuisine
Ukrainian cuisine Culture
Horilka
Ukrainian cuisine in pictures and where to taste it!
Ukrainian cuisine has been formed during many centuries. Among Slavic cuisines Ukrainian is considered the most diverse and the richest by right. It spread out over the borders of Ukraine a long time ago. The most typical feature of the Ukrainian National Cuisine is a combined heat treatment of the vegetables and meat in the oil or butter, so called "Ukrainian frying", and only after that, stewing, boiling or baking (for ex. Ukrainian borsch).
Ukrainian cuisine is quite regional. That's why the same traditional borsch tastes differently and prepared differently in every region.
For every national cuisine, the place, where food is cooked has the great influence. In Ukraine, such a place was an oven, fire of a closed type. That is why Ukrainian cuisine mainly uses the techniques of boiling, stewing and baking. Even Cossacks, after shooting a game, were trying to make a bouillon out of it, but not to fry it, which is more typical for Germans, for example.
Ukrainian cuisine borrowed some techniques from neighbors, for ex. Tatar and Turkish cuisines, partially modifying them. For example, frying of products in the overheated oil/butter, which is peculiar for the Turkic cuisine, was regenerated into the "Ukrainian frying" (so called "paseruvannya" (browning) of vegetables which are used for borsch or second courses). This is, for example, not peculiar for Russian cuisine.
From Germans, Ukrainians borrowed ground meat ("sichenyky" – cutlet type dishes out of ground meat, eggs, vegetables, mushrooms, etc.), and from Hungarians – the usage of paprika.
If to talk about meat, pork is widely spread in Ukraine, comparing with beef, which is more typical for Russian cuisine or mutton for Tatar. Oxen were more like the working animals in Ukraine, and their meat was not as tasty and soft as the pigs' meat. It has also been considered not as clean as pork.
Potatoes became widely spread in Ukraine in 18th century. Even though it didn't become "second bread" like in Belorussia, but became very popular and used in first, second courses and garnish for fish and meat dishes. Also, potatoes began to be used in getting starch, used for preparing different types of sweet dishes, including "kissel" (a sweet drink resembling thin jelly).
In 18th century sunflower and mustard appeared in Ukraine. This played an important role in the development of the Ukrainian cuisine. Sunflower oil began to be widely used instead of the imported Greek olive oil, and mustard is used for making oil and spices for meat and other dishes. Nowadays sunflower oil supplanted nearly all other oils. There are two types of sunflower oil widely used: hot extracted with a strong peculiar smell of fried sunflower seeds (favorite type among Ukrainians, used mainly in salads) and cold extracted type (used for frying), better known and used abroad.

Salted dried fish
The most popular and favorite meat product in Ukraine is a pig's fat, in Ukrainian - "salo". Salo is used fresh, salted, smoked, fried, boiled, stewed, and is a fat base of a lot of dishes.
Fish takes a big part in Ukrainian cuisine as well. It is very common to see Ukrainians having a beer with the dried salted fish. Fish caviar is very popular too.
Do you know that it is impossible to oversalt salo. You could put as much salt as you like on it for salting, but it will take as much salt as it needs, not more and not less.
Ukrainian Honey
Carrots, beet, radish, cucumbers, pumpkin, horse radish, dill, cumin, mint, tormentil, apples, cherries, plums, cranberries, cowberries, raspberries are widely used in Ukraine.
Honey was playing a significant role in Ukrainian diet, as there was no sugar at that time. Different types of the animal fats and oil, vinegar and nuts have been widely used for cooking. Read more about honey in Ukraine
Later, from Asia the mulberry tree and water melon have been brought to Ukraine, from America – corn, tomatoes, cayenne peppers. Later on, these plants have started to be grown in the Southern Ukraine and widely used.
The main hot meal was meat or fish broth with addition of vegetables, which was called "yukha", later in Ukrainian – "yushka" and in Russian language transformed into "ukha".
Do you know that the name for the most famous Ukrainian dish "borsch" came from the old Ukrainian name for beet – "brsch".
Main national Ukrainian drinks came out by the way of the natural fermentation, for ex., honey, beer, kvass (kind of sour fermented drink) and grape wines. Horilka (which means "vodka" in Russian) and different liqueurs appeared in 14th century. Read more about horilka here.
Other popular drinks in Ukraine are: stewed fruit (uzvar), juices, milk, buttermilk (kefir), mineral water, tea and coffee. Various alcoholic drinks complement the meals. It is customary to offer a drink to guests, who must not refuse it except for health or religious reasons.
Fish seller
Onions, garlic, dill, cumin, peppermint, anise, savory, red and black pepper, bay leaf and cinnamon (for sweet dishes) are widely used in Ukraine. Vinegar is very popular in Ukraine and sometimes overused.
Ukrainians prefer to eat at home, leaving restaurants for special occasions and generally avoid exotic meats and spices. The traditional Ukrainian food includes pork, beef, chicken, fish and mushrooms. Ukrainians eat a lot of potatoes, grains, fresh and pickled vegetables.
Popular traditional dishes are: varenyky (boiled dumplings with potatoes, meat, mushrooms, sauerkraut, cottage cheese, cherries or other berries), salo (salted or smoked pork fat with garlic or other spices) and holubtsi (stuffed cabbage rolls filled with rice, carrots and meat). The main and well known dish is Ukrainian borsch (soup made of beets, cabbage, meat, beans), served with sour cream and "pampooshkas" (fresh little buns with garlic and melted butter on top).
Famous Ukrainian specialties also include Chicken Kiev and Kiev Cake.
