Imagine being proud you suck so much at cooking that you cant make borscht taste good.
I’m not the one who cooked it, I bought it from a restaurant that was doing a ‘Slavic’ week; and dude an actual Russian couldn’t make borscht taste good, that’s the problem.
I didn’t want to continue down this discussion because it’s turned bitter, but I can acknowledge there ARE European foods that flavorful, but here we’re looking at British and Italian foods (maybe even Spanish); I love fish and chips, I love meat pies, I love pizza and spaghetti, but borscht though is literally what I had in mind for food that needs flavor. Pierogi also has basically no flavor to it.
Also despite liking several British foods, I’d never be curious to try British ‘jellied eels’.
I think jellied eels are the sort of food you could only imagine eating if you’re in London, completely hammered, and some guy on the street corner was selling them for the equivalent of today’s £.25. How they were historically “enjoyed”.
Me when I got a bad nori roll: Sushi is terrible. I even had it made by an Asian man so I know that’s as good as it gets!
I’m sorry but borsch is a good hearty soup that tastes great if you like beetroot and its funny that it makes your piss look like blood.
It’s served with freshly ground pepper, parsley, sour cream and some toasted bread or croutons. If you don’t like that, then I know you’ve got bad taste.
Jellied eels taste weird, but if we’re going down the road of ragging on people for putting things in gelatine, then the US has no legs to stand on. It’s a leftover from before people had reliable refrigeration and then, because so many people are so weird and nationalistic about food, it has become part of the UK national culture. A signifier of sorts.
