Paska
Paska is an Easter bread eaten in Eastern European countries including Ukraine, Romania, Poland, Slovakia, and parts of Bulgaria. It is also eaten in other countries with immigrant populations from Eastern Europe, including the US, Canada and the UK. Paska is made with milk, butter, eggs, flour and sugar locally having an inside made with different ingredients. An egg and water mixture is used as a glaze. The Christian faithful in many Eastern Christian countries eat this bread during Easter. Christian symbolism is associated with features of paska type breads. The inside of paska can be a swirl of yellow and white that is said to represent the risen Christ, while the white represents the Holy Spirit. In Romania the inside is a sweet cream with eggs made, most frequently from cottage cheese and/or sour cream. Other versions include chocolate, rice or even savoury mixtures based on cheese. A version is made with maraschino cherries added to symbolize royal jewels in honor of the resurrection of Jesus. Paska is eaten with "hrudka", also called syrek, a bland sweet custard similar to cheese made from separated eggs and milk and beets mixed with horseradish and kielbasa or kovbasa.
