Borscht?
We are in beet season, beets from the garden.
Does any restaurant in St. Louis make a good Borscht that I could sample before I try to make my own?

Do you like yours hot or cold. I've only had it cold - used to be a Passover staple for us.

Hot Borscht soup was the soup of the day this time of the year at the private jewish country club in St. Louis County where I used to work as a server. It was topped with a dollop of sour cream.

Re: Borscht?
Thank you so much! No, I haven’t tried it because I didn’t even know where to look in the city or in the region. This is quite a ways out for me, but maybe one of these days I’ll make it out there. We are coming up on beet season so I would think they would be offering the Borsch and their rest of the things on their menu looked great as well.govman wrote: ↑13 Jun 2025 01:11 amhave you tried Astoria?GelatinousEndive wrote: ↑29 Aug 2024 17:21 pm We are in beet season, beets from the garden.

Back in 1995, when Russia and USA were getting along with each other, I got to visit Russia on a teaching exchange.
Borscht was of course used as a soup, but beet-based liquids were used in a number of stews and other dishes. It was used like Italians and Americans use tomato bases.
One thing I liked about borscht: The beet extracts were tasty, but not as acidy as tomatoes.
