9b. Email
Dear Matt,
I hope you are well. In your last email, you asked me about a traditional dish in my country. I’d like to tell you about pelmeni. They are small dumplings filled with minced meat, onions and spices. First, people make thin dough and put the filling inside. Then they boil the pelmeni in salted water until they float to the surface. They are usually served hot with sour cream, butter or fresh herbs. Pelmeni taste delicious and are especially warming in winter. My family often cooks them together at weekends. Have you ever tried Russian pelmeni? What traditional dish do you like?
Best wishes,
[Name]
