  The names on the menu are at once warmly familiar and tongue-twistingly foreign. Words that surely I have seen before, but can not begin to pronounce. Nalesnyky. Piroshky. Varenyky. Kolachi. “I guess I’ll just have the combination plate,” I tell the lady behind the counter, faintly embarrassed at my inability to say the words. And as I sit at a table, not knowing my nalesnyky from my varenyky, I feel for the first time a vague sense at being cheated by roots that are so shallow.
