Write a letter to the Radio programme about popular New Year dishes in Russia. My name is.... I want to say that in Russia there are no special New Year dishes. Families prepare different dishes for New Year....

My name is(your name). There are no any special New Year dishes in Russia. Families just cook their own favorites. However, a salad "Olivje" has become almost a symbol of New Year. It is kind of potato salad. "Seledka pod shuboj" is associated with a New Year. Everything else depends on a family's taste!
