Why it's worth it
Ryazhanka is fermented baked milk that originated in Ukraine, with a caramel flavor from long slow baking, and the 'z pechi' (from the oven) version from Yagotyn is a typical supermarket pick. It is a drink-it-there item: EU rules generally bar travelers from bringing dairy back across the border.
