Dear Nsottin, it was easy for me as I am good at cooking! haha! It is not an easy question for those who don't know Italian cuisine! Thank you!
Yes Tanya, I think is called turnip greens actually or broccoli Raab. Maybe too easy a question, but that was it, never mind. :-)
Very strange, I found the picture but there is no name for it.
Dear Nsottin, it looks very much like broccoli, but I think it is a kind of turnip.
Mishaikh, no problem! In fact, I asked Dan to finish the round while I was still sleeping. He knows all that stuff as I took him to the folk museum in Ukraine. Besides, he is a native speaker and he knows which English words to use describing old Russian utensils. Thank you, anyway! It is very nice of you!

No, Danny, but have you got the permission from Tanya? After all she is the owner of the question (LOL)

Yes sorry Danny, I have been away offline for a bit. Here is my question
Round: 36
Category: gastronomy, cuisines
Scores: 300
Question: can you figure out how this vegetable is called? It is to be eaten only after short boiling, though quite delicious in my personal opinion. Any of the several English names will do.
Dear Luci, I am sorry but you are late. That УХВАТ/РОГАЧ (correct Russian words) is called an oven fork and that "paddle"is called a bread peel.
Thanks for trying!
Hello guys,
I took time and little bit studied everything about old ovens :-D Well, I just wonder, how should we translate terms of such tools into English as these are specific Russian expressions. As for the first one - it was used for taking in and out hot pots for example with soup and it is originally called in russian Ухва́т or рога́ч - the second one word ehm m lucky I can read Russian, so I would call it STAG but it is more related to HORNS on its head as they are similar to the shape of this metal tool...
As for the second one tool it is described as wooden paddle on a long shank and it was used for taking the bread in and out of oven.. I would call it wooden SHOVEL :-p
