Volkian cuisine widely uses meats, breads, vegetables, spices, and pastas. Diversity in Volkian cuisine is high, and usually varies from region to region, though provincial differences also exist. However, thanks to the country unifying and the easing of movement between provinces, many foods spreading across the country. Foods that are "heavy" are common, though "lighter" meals do exist. Flavorful soups and stews include shchi, borsch, ukha, solyanka and okroshka. Smetana (a heavy sour cream) is often added to soups and salads. Pirozhki, blini and syrniki are native types of pancakes. Steaks and chicken breasts are popular centerpieces for meat dishes.
