Yeah, I thought that was interesting too.  Perhaps I should have referred
to one of the other recipes I found, one has potato-filling as an option.
Of course, that one isn't called "Ukrainian Potato Bread".  :)  I don't
have any Ukrainian cookbooks, so I have to rely on the web, apologies.

- --"Russian Christmas Traditions"  No recipe, called Lenten bread, here it
is Russian and not Ukrainian, although the woman sounds like she grew up in
a Ukrainian family from the transliteration of the foodstuffs.  I believe
that Babishka, Zeddo, zaprashka, Bobal'ki are all Ukrainian.  They aren't
Russian, anyway.
