[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We always had the cold beet borscht with sour cream growing up. It was my grandmothers specialty. I always assumed it was a Jewish food, but sounds like it isn't. [/quote] It’s Ukrainian/Russian. Many of the foods that we typically think of as Jewish in the US are actually Russian or Ukrainian- not just borscht but also lox, pickled herring, bagels, kasha (buckwheat). It’s because most of the Jewish immigrants to the US in the late 19th-early 20th century were from Russia or present Ukraine. Russian people wouldn’t consider that food Jewish. [/quote] Makes sense - my great-grandparents were Lithuanian Jews, although they apparently intentionally left many of those regional traditions behind for obvious reasons.[/quote]
