Надо написать текст на тему: Что едят в день рождения в России?

There is a tradition in Russia to drink tea and eat a cake when you have a birthday.  Some make salads and sandwiches. Other people fry meat or fish or cook potatoes. Sweets and cookies are also popular birthday treats. Some birthday persons prefer fruit and fruit dishes. In my opinion, it depends on the taste: it may be fish birthday or sushi birthday or ice-cream birthday.
