"Borscht Schmorscht"? Not funny. REALLY lame actually.
"Borscht - Just how the Russian's like it!" Since we have never been to Russia, met Russian people, or really eaten that much Russian food, it seems a little presumptuous to assume anything about "how Russian's like it"!
So for now, the title of this blog post is a reference to Seinfeld's famous Soup Nazi. Feel free to chuckle to yourself in appreciation for our quarter-hour brainstorming session. :-)
Anyway, making this deep-red dish was fun and it was actually pretty tasty! Admittedly, I have a personal aversion to beets (don't the canned versions just taste like complete shit?) but I have to say, they really rose to the occasion for this one.
Beet deliciousness in a bowl.
Warm and filling (despite being meat-less), I can understand why this might be eaten after a long, cold day. With a nice dollop of sour cream, this becomes a "cream of XYZ" variety - very delicious indeed.
However, I don't know if we will make this again. Don't get me wrong, it was very delicious - I would venture to say that it was probably the best meal we ate while exploring this country. That being said, I should probably reveal that Micah and I are not "soup people". Although we stupidly keep picking soup recipes to make, we seem to have a hard time appreciating them. This is probably because soups, at least to us, have always been an appetizer...a prequel of what's to come. Eating soup as the main course, always leaves us waiting for more.
Nevertheless, we will keep making soup and hope that we will find one so delicious that it will be truly meal-worthy!
