Redpill me on Borscht. I am an Anglo Australian and have never had anything of the sort in my life. Is it good?
>>20976418My gf is eastern european and she says "Ehhhh sometimes its watery but its good"
>>20976418> Is it good?no it's not, millions of people eat it just as a joke
>>20976418The meatiest vegetable soup you will even have
>>20976423How much did you pay for her?
I really like it but I don't make it because I have stomach issues and I need to know it I'm actually bleeding internally or if I just shit out some beets
for me, it's the borscht with croquet
>>20976418Beef borscht topped with sour cream and chopped parsley and served with rye bread and thinly sliced salo (cured pork fat) is probably my favorite dish.
Depends on the style. There are so many variants, it's like asking if sandwiches are good.For example, a good friend from back in school's parents are immigrants from Lithuania. They're borscht is made with defatted beef stock and served cold, pureed smooth, without meat. If has buttermilk added, making it shockingly pink. Hungarian "borscht" (ceklaleves) has shredded beets, mushrooms, onions, mushroom stock (or vegetable broth) and vinegar. There are styles where the beets are picked before use. There are styles that use beetroot juice but no actual beet. There are ones that are made days in advance and allowed to ferment before eating. There are chunky ones, smooth ones, sweet ones, sour ones, clear ones, opaque ones, thin ones, thickened ones, soupy ones and ones that are almost dry among many, many other variants. Some even lack beetroot altogether. I like my borscht. I like a few other people's borscht. I do not like that Lithuanian one, tho.
>>20976551classic combo>>20976509I'm sure many first time borscht eaters panic when seeing what their poop looks like after
>>20976709>>20976509I eat beetroot pretty often but I've never had scary beetpoops.
>>20976688this is true, there are so many versions of this soup. here in Poland it's a clear one either served like this >>20976551or with meat / mushroom dumplingswe also eat the Lithuanian version, though the "cold soup" aspect of it filters many people
>>20976488You don't pay her, you pay her parents.
>>20976418It's an ironic dish because beets are rich in nitrates that lower blood pressure, but borscht is extremely salty.
>>20976418dirt soup
It tastes exactly like it looks.
>>20976688Fuck you. Šaltibarščiai is the best. Especially with fried potatoes in summer
>>20977331lithuniggas so poor, they can't afford no heat or meat lmao
>>20976418it's midsolyanka is the best slavsoup
>>20976418I dont care about most ways to serve it, but I think its excellent in a big mug with a lot of ground pepper when its very cold outside.bonus points of those polish meat pancakes are next to it.
>>20976418it's god tier but only if you aren't too lazy to make homemade beef stock. this is the best recipe onlinehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmoVlL6-iCM
>>20976423>sometimes its watery but its goodOnly if it's done by retards, if you stick a spoon in a real borshch it should stay upright
>>20978876De.pends. On. The. Style. You fucking retard.
>>20976418It was invented in Ukraine, not Russia. Remember that, it's very important and the Wikipedia page is locked to make sure you don't forget. Remember; Ukrainian borscht.
>>20976425dude wtfwhy'd you tell him
>>20976418Love it. There's a restaurant near me called Veselka that does a really good version of it, and they sell it premade, too. Add a little sour cream, get a little bread, and you've got yourself a meal
>>20979202>vegetarianmental illness
>>20979358They make a meat version too, if you were concerned about that.
>>20976488Nothing, if anything she paid for me kek
I'm Romanian,it's called Borș here and it's probably the most consumed food.There are many variants of bors,and the borș is actually the juice that gives the soup it's sour taste: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bor%C8%99_(bran)There are many types of bors,bors with beans,bors with potatoes,bors with pork,bors with fish and rice,bors with chicken,bors with meatballs,bors with beatroots,bors with tripe,bors with dumplings,etc. Sour cream is commonly added to bors,and it's often eaten with hot peppers.It can be tasty both cold and hot.It's eaten with bread or mămăligă (polenta).And yes,bors is a very good food,how good the cook is matters,and especially your preferences.For example i dislike bors with pork but i love bors with beans, and bors beetroots is probably my favorite,bors with fish is awesome too.It's a soup,you can't go wrong with soup.Bors is not Ukrainian and i'm glad that this war happened and that now Russians and Ukrainians are both dying,it makes me very happy.It's a food that was probably eaten in eastern europe since god knows when yet these arrogant niggers clad in white skin without history or culture claim that they invented it.God i fucking hate slavs.So,bors is not only made with beetroots,that's just a variant,there are many more.It's a very good food OP,it's cheap to make and if you make a pot of it then it can last you a week,and most importantly it's delicious. If you want to make it then try to search recipes using other words than borscht, because the resulting recipes will only show you how to make beetroot soup.I don't know,search for "Romanian soup recipes" or something.Maybe use sites in Romanian and use a translator,or sites from other eastern european countries,since this is a food eaten in all of eastern europe so the recipes will be quite similar.
>>20977136>but borscht is extremely salty.Why do you eat shit about things you know nothing about? It's not extremely salty you retarded faggot,it's only too salty if you add too much salt,if you really want then you don't even need to add salt,although it won't be as good.
>>20979668thisit's sour, sweet and often a bit spicy. salty is the last flavor I think of
>>20979660do you really not realize that you gypsies are the most hated people in the world
>>20979709and?
>>20979710my point is that a gypsy has no right to talk shit about anyone
>>20979736gypsy i am not even ukrainian. you are as low as it gets. stop being so fucking arrogant
>>20979748I didn't say that you are Ukrainian you blind idiot.I don't give a fuck which country you are from,you are just a faggot.
>>20979757I'm not a gypsy,and even if i was,better a gypsy than a faggot of your magnitude.
>>20976473That's mushroom soup.>>20976418Beetroot, like all root vegetables, needs sandy or clay soil to thrive. If you can't source them they're pretty much useless.Most of the flavour is on the outside of the plant (the skin), so you want them biologically grown as well.You're better off just skipping Borscht if you can't meet these 2 requirements because it'll be plain boring and bland.
>>20976418Its soup with beets, potato, beef, carrots etc. Can't really go wrong with that.
