Belarusian mochanka with pancakes

Awesome delicious hearty and colorful dish from originally from Belarus! Mochanka or machanka (from the word machat, i.e. dip) is a thick meat gravy with different types of pork meat products: ribs, homemade sausage, bacon and smoked meats, brisket is best. You can put anything you like into it, but most often it's pancakes, and it can be either thick yeast or kefir pancakes, or thin ones with milk. Such a dish can be found in an ordinary Belarusian village and today I also wanted to cook it!
