Slaviс Cuisine

Ancient Slavs believed, that “foremother” of bread was a porridge, and explained it as follows. Somehow the ancient cook were preparing a porridge and casually filled groats more, than it was necessary. Instead of a porridge the flat cake has turned out. Having abused as follows the careless cook, nevertheless neighbours have tasted a new dish. And probably, have been happy. In due course instead of groats they began to use flour.
