What is borsh?

One of the fabulous interns here at the EFF is going back to Russia this week. So today she brought in some borsh for us all. Everything else she has brought in has been delicious, so I'm tempted to try this even though I'm not a big fan of beets.

This is last day of my physical presence at EFF, so I brought some Russian Borsch* for everyone - to try for lunch. The big pot is in the fridge, top shelf; microwaveable bowls are on the table, and sour cream is next to the pot. The way to eat it is to heat some up in the microwave (make sure you got a piece of meat in there), add a spoonful of sour cream, and mix everything up. You can invent your own ways if you like.

*Borsch - beets soup. Red in color (because of the beets). Includes meat on a bone, potatoes, tomatoes, onion, yellow pepper, carrots, cabbage and a little bit of garlic. Cooked thoroughly, and very thick.
