Vodka the Ukrainian way #1

So my friend Svetlana is from Ukraine. They, as their neighbors, are very into vodka. But not our boring old scerwdrivers and vodka tonics. They do their shots with a pickle and rye bread. Don't worry that is not a typo, this is the only way to drink your vodka.
- one shot glass filled with good vodka (we bought this stuff, it is made in Boulder but it was not so good)
- pickles (theses were from Ukraine and very good)
- some good rye bread (recently toasted)

Take your shot, bite your pickle and smell your bread.

This was all very good and fun. But it did lead to some debauchery...(not shown)
