Anyone ever tried borscht? I grew up hearing about this stuff and it was usually in the context of poor foods, like gruel. I want to try it but there aren't a surplus of Russkis in my area.

It's one of those meals that takes like 5 hours to make, completely shitting up your kitchen and ruining any wood or skin that touches it, and costing your life's savings in gas bills, with an end product that tastes like no more than the sum of its parts.

I found a source that claims beetroot first reached poland, so the beetroot variant might be from there. The origin of the hogweed variant is probably lost to time.
Btw "inventing" a soup is really not the kind of achievement that's worth an international dispute.

It's definitely worth trying. As soups go, it'll taste like nothing you've had before. Not saying that's good or bad; it's just unique. Gotta put sour cream in it, though. You may have to order some online if you life in the boonies. However, if your local supermarket has a kosher foods section, you may find it there.

You can make it yourself really easily. The beets give it sweetness and then you add vinegar or lemon juice to make it sour. You can dump in all kinds of vegetables - we make it with white beans, dill, cabbage, potatoes, carrot, celery, and beef shortrib. It's easiest to do the beets in a food processor but you can just chop them into big chunks

Borș is not russian,it's eaten in all of eastern europe.It also isn't always made with beets.There exists chicken borș,mushroom borș,pig borș,meat balls borș,rice and fish borș,potatoes borș,beans borș and more borș that escapes my mind right now.The borș is actually not the soup itself,but the liquid you put into it to make it sour.It is always tasty,but because it is a staple food and you eat it everyday since you were born,unless he is starving,no man will grow excited at the thought of eating borș,unless it's a type of borș he truly enjoys.I like beans.

There are as many variants of borscht as there are people who cook them. There are sour ones, cold ones, one made with beetroot juice but no actual beetroots, vegetarian ones, spicy ones, pink ones, orange ones (somehow; idfk how they do it), fish-based ones, pork-based ones, beef-based ones, ones with shredded beetroots, one with whole beetroots, ones with sliced or quartered or grated beetroots, roux thickened ones, thin/watery ones, blended ones, chunky ones etc etc etc.
Asking "what's sour about it" just shows that you've only had or been exposed to a single style of borscht, is all.
My best friend from uni, for example, is from Lithuania and that family make their version with sour milk (no, not buttermilk; legit milk that's gone off) and serve it cold.
