Beef and pork or chicken form the basis of the diet of most citizens. Chicken is often baked whole. A simple, quick, and delicious dish is the result. If you get to the city on Thanksgiving eve, be sure to taste the traditional holiday stuffed turkey. Sometimes a pickled carcass is simply cooked with the filling on the same baking sheet. The filling can be very different – bread with nuts and spices, cabbage, potatoes, mushrooms, pork giblets, and even oysters. Every cook has his own cooking secret. However, the turkey is cooked very tasty here at any time of the year.
Vegetables like asparagus or cauliflower, as well as legumes, rice, and potatoes usually serve as a side dish.
