Mysterious post-it

[Enri Lauzo]

Hi there everyone,
I found a mysterious note in a closet, and I'm super curious about knowing what is written in it!
I can say by the alphabet that it is a slavic language, but I can't guess which and I'm not able to transcribe it, so I will post the picture.

Thanks to whoever will help my solve this enigma

It's written with a Cyrillic script indeed, but it does not make it a Slavic language in the first place - just like a Latin script does not make the language Latin nor even Romance. ;-) Cyrillic script is used to write various languages of the former Soviet Union, inlcluding Kazakh, Tartar and even Mongol.

In this case it resembles Italian written phonetically with a Cyrillic script, perhaps with some latin intrusions. The last lines seem to say 'poi poco zucchero (...) tutto (...)', earlier I see olio, pepe, priparare, prendere... not everything is clear to me though.

A rough transliteration would say:
prendere padeliu
olio, cepola tam...*'**
???eta i priparare
kon olio, sale
pepe, 2 orolio (??)
?oro, ??eto mene (?)
-----
mittere u cipolu
poi poko dzukero
??? tutto miekiari

Some traces in the script usage suggest a Ukrainian speaker writing phonetically the Italian language. Does it make sense, considering the overall context?

It's broken Italian. It's a cooking recipe.

Thanks for the explanation! Sorry I didn't intend to equate all the cyrillic scripts.

Yes it makes sense! What a story! Yes, indeed it was found in Italy. Probably it is the transcription of a recipe of some sort of sauce.
Thanks for the explanation, the mystery has been solved!
