🎭 So, #Dostoyevsky isn't tough, eh? Just another casual read between episodes of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," except for those pesky Russian names that transform your brain into a bowl of #borscht 🍲. But don't worry, clutching a chunky paperback like a literary accessory totally counts as reading 📚.

Dostoyevsky isn’t difficult

The Autodidacts

Beetroot borscht (locally known as botwinka), a spring soup, a Polish peasant borscht, cooked in broth, meat, or vegetable stock, made from young beetroot and leaves, with potatoes, and leavened with lemon juice or beetroot sourdough. Beetroot borscht is prepared in spring, when the beetroot leaves are soft and tender, and the root is still small. This is when the beetroot leaves have the most flavor and aroma.

🥟 BORSCHT DIPLOMACY 🥟
The "Dill Shortage" is real! 🌿 In many small German and Polish towns, grocery stores have had to triple their stock of dill, beets, and sour cream.
We’re seeing the rise of "Gastro-Integration"—where Ukrainian Varenyky (dumplings) are becoming as common as Currywurst in local canteens. 🥟🇩🇪 #Foodie #CulturalExchange #Borscht #EuropeLife

I was speaking to a colleague of mine and the subject of #borscht 😋 came up And debate began of whether or not borscht is #soup 🍜 Some believe it is some believe it is not. What is your thought on this very serious matter #Ukraine
