I always add red bell peppers..and a whole lot of chopped fresh parsley & dill at the end of the cooking process.<BR/><BR/>Also, have you ever heard of Russians eating borsch w/ mayo instead of sour cream?

No need to special order adjika; all you need to season your borsch is tomato paste, a little sugar and vinegar (or lemon juice).Mrs. M. https://www.blogger.com/profile/11988934733961380885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24871932.post-69745437689103350812007-02-08T18:31:00.000-08:002007-02-08T18:31:00.000-08:00My wife's father moved to Philly from Russia (as a...My wife's father moved to Philly from Russia (as a kid) but after he married, no more Russian food for him! <BR/><BR/>My wife never ate it growing up so I try to make stuff for her, including Borsh. We live quite a distance from any Russian markets, now. Can I substitute horseradish for adjika? Should I mail-order some?

In retrospect, I like the deep red color better. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

I like Spartak in Whitefish Bay the most--nice selection, pretty good service. <BR/><BR/>International Deli in Shorewood also isn't bad. They have a lot of prepared food. <BR/><BR/>The other two stores are in Mequon and Fox Point/Bayside. I think the Mequon store sells fresh-baked rye bread.<BR/><BR/>There's also Old World Deli, a Polish grocery on the south side, and a Greek grocery (I can't remember what it's called) in West Allis. The Greek store is one of my favorite ethnic groceries in Milwaukee--it carries lots of Eastern European specialies.Mrs. M. https://www.blogger.com/profile/11988934733961380885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24871932.post-1169856362902952152007-01-26T16:06:00.000-08:002007-01-26T16:06:00.000-08:00We'll be moving to Milwaukee soon.
