Happy Thanksgiving! Have some borsch!
Borsch is Ukrainian. In fact, it’s the Ukrainian national dish.
You thought it was Russian, huh? And spelled with a “t” on the end? Nope, that’s the Russian spelling.
Recipes vary in different parts of Ukraine and by individual people. There are lots of good ones on line. Some contain meat, some don’t. It’s usually served hot but may be served cold in the summer.
The Moosewood Cookbook has a couple of good vegetarian ones (but they stop being vegan when you toss a glop of sour cream on top when you serve it.)
No, I didn’t have borsch at Thanksgiving, but I’m thinking of making some tomorrow.
