The mezhivo is an authentic Ukrainian dish. Besides the vegetable one, there is the fruit mezhivo. It will better compliment the alcoholic beverage but it should be made beforehand.
It is a traditional Ukrainian pastry, which is made during orthodox holiday, Honey Spas (the middle of August). It is a rather simple pastry with poppy-seeds saturated with honey.
It is a very nutritious appetizer, which could substitute even the main course. As a rule, it is served portioned or separately, however it may be offered both hot and cold with toasts and baked potatoes.
