And how did our great-grandmothers meet Old New Year?
Funny!The Cossacks called January 13 "generous evening" - they cooked vareniki and went "shchedrovat" to the neighbors. For good wishes, the host treated the "shchedrovshchiks" with gingerbread, nuts, candies, money. When visiting, the Cossacks brought simple treats in the form of bagels, seeds, baked zucchini or candies from zucchini, as well as soaked fruits and vegetables. Only the hosts always put wine on the table, the guests did not bring it with them. The hostess of the house served vareniki with various fillings, and by the filling they judged what the coming year would be like. Vareniki were most often made with cottage cheese or potatoes, but in several pieces they put flour, salt, a coin, beans and other products or items, and several were left empty.
