Find out why Belarusian sausages and other meat products are so loved

The buyer makes his choice, the manufacturer explains the secrets of meat brands

Domestic meat products are something that is very much loved in our country and far beyond its borders. Volkovysk, Brest, Grodno, youth and other meat goodies have long become classics, which is appropriate as an independent dish, in sandwiches, on the festive table. In the composition most often meat, salt, spices. No complicated unfamiliar terms. It is no coincidence that attentive buyers emphasize that Belarusian products retain a pronounced meat taste in contrast to many foreign or imported analogues of the mass market, in which plant or synthetic additives predominate.

Our correspondent, together with customers, once again convinced of the taste of Belarusian meat brands.

Exclusively domestic meat products trusts Irina Shkirenok from the agro-town Zherebkovichi, Lyakhovichi district:

- Especially if it's the highest grade. I often buy cooked sausages for breakfast, from time to time I choose something new and interesting. Recently caught the eye of boiled sausage with pistachios. By the way, this is popular in Bologna, where there is a centuries-old tradition of breeding pigs, whose meat and spike form the basis of this sausage. Excellent, attractive design, without too much. The packaging is completely transparent, so you can clearly see what is inside, including pistachios, pepper peas - very appetizing. Moderate use of such a “brew” is even useful for the gastrointestinal tract and cardiovascular system due to the presence of amino acids, vitamins B1, B6, PP and phosphorus in it. My wife and I liked the taste. He is quite delicate and unobtrusive. Good for sandwiches, especially with toasted bread. And pistachios enhance taste sensations. It's harmonious. I'm glad that another tasting of meat was successful. Next time, I plan to try a similar sausage with olives.

Sausages "Num-nyamki", as well as meat snacks and burger patties - this is what most often buys in the store MeatHouse family Kraskovsky from Molodechno.

- The products deserve the trust of customers, emphasizes Daria Kraskovskaya. This applies to both chilled meat and offal, and all sorts of semi-finished products, cheese-dried and smoked delicacies, sausages and smears. The range is pleasing. Prices don't bite. Taste is high. It’s nice to be involved in the production of goods that line up.

Denis Trubach, a resident of Videykovshchina village, also often goes shopping in the brand stores of the Molodechny meat processing plant. The young man loves to cook, so he prefers chilled meat:

- This is the case when everything you need for both an ordinary dinner and a large festive table can be bought in one place. If time permits, I do marinades and gas stations myself. But ready-made versions of kebabs, steaks, sausages and other semi-finished products are very tasty here. You can stand in line for a couple of extra minutes when you are 100% sure of the quality of the goods offered. Today, for example, my choice fell on pickled brisket for frying. Vegetables are good. Not without your favorite snacks, parchettas (cheese meat loaf) and a pack of sausages, which in the refrigerator will not be superfluous for sure.

Nowadays, showcases are full of meat delicacies. But no one canceled the classic. Boiled, livery, blood sausages can be bought in any store and car shop. Canned meat is also for every taste.

- When going on a business trip, be sure to take a few cans of beef, says Stanislav Shevelev from Molodechno. But before going to the country, as, for example, today, we buy a barbecue with the other half. While there is still an opportunity to magic at the grill and spend time in the fresh air, they do not intend to miss a minute. I, a native of a small Belarusian village, a mother of many children, had to repeatedly make purchases both in my small homeland and in other regions of our beautiful country. And I am pleased with the fact that even in a small rural store or car shop, I could almost always buy my favorite salt lard, cheese-dried sausages and other interesting new products from my favorite manufacturers in my family. There are many. Belarusian meat is highly valued both at home and abroad. A huge number of reviews can be found on social networks. And guests and tourists now and then run through our shops to taste, and in stock to buy our goodies.

- First of all, going to any Belarusian store, I go to the sausage department. There's plenty! I love sausages, and Belarusians are professionals in their production. For myself, I single out cheese-dried and smoked sausages of the Grodno meat plant, I love the series “History” from Pinsk, “varenki” from Brest. And the famous Finnish servelate in a black wrapper is just a bomb! In principle, any Belarusian sausage can be taken, and it will be divine. A special pleasure is to try something unusual, for example, sausage with olives or lingonberries, Sujuk from Molodechno or “varenka-kolobok” with splashes of fat, as in childhood. If we talk about stew, then relatives and friends usually order it for hotels. For myself, I have long highlighted a number of favorite brands, but others are also delicious. There's a stew of horse meat, venison, but it's not for me. I'm for the classics: pork, beef, chicken. Delicious canned by-products: ears, tongue. And in Belarus they produce matchless gelled meat products. All sorts of jelly, jelly, jelly, jelly. It's not a shame to serve on the festive table. If it happens to go to the neighboring country before the New Year, then I bring everything I buy and do not bother with a long home cooking. Pollendvitsa is a meat delicacy that also appeals to me and my family. To be honest, there are no Belarusian products that would not appeal to me. As for the meat, the above and my food basket speak very convincingly. I am sure millions of customers will agree with me.

Solidarity with each of the interlocutors. Giving preference to Belarusian, we choose a pleasant taste and traditionally high quality.
