A couple of nights ago our landlord (Sasha)stopped by to say hello. He is renting us his sons apartment for the short time we are here in Odessa. George told him he wasn't feeling well. So off went Sasha only to come back with his brother and a bottle of Pepper Vodka! This is the cure for everything here I think.
Well we thought 1 shot and that is it. But no, the tradition here is that you never stop until you finish the bottle. George did feel a bit better as he couldn't feel his throat anymore ~ but then again 2 days later and he is on antibiotics!
I didn't try the vodka; but I toasted with them with a little of the cognac he brought to us on his first visit to us. Oh and yes, they always bring something to eat with the alcohol; this time it was hand picked, marinated mushrooms. They were very tasty.

Oh yes we are very familiar with that tradition as well! We had an entire meal we toasted.
I absolutely love the marinated mushrooms we ate them all of the time.
Have a great time.
