Lunch at the office was served on the 14th floor today (I am on the 17th.) We stepped off the elevator, turned left and walked about 25 feet into what seemed to be a small office turned impromptu cafe. There was a folding table with all kinds of homemade Ukrainian dishes. The woman behind the table put what you asked for (or what your translator asked for) on a plate, and charge you about $2. (Mine was a little more - I ordered the American portion - although, i still have half left.)
I had the Golubtsi (stuffed cabbage), teftelii (fried liver - which I was fooled into trying, but thought was delicious) and rice (rice).
I'd be in heaven if there was homemade food delivered to my office for less than $6 - - much less $3. I know the whole salary/prices higher in the USA deal -- but, the homemade food delivered to the office today was slightly cheaper than a trip to the Kiev MacDonald's - that has nothing to do with salary or currency.
