it's delicious. very savory.
it takes a long time when done right, you can't rush it.
beets go from being fairly uninteresting to having an intense magical heartiness to it.
quality buttered bread and borscht with sour cream and dill is good enough to be a staple every day meal for me.

Borscht is fucking garbage. It's cold red dirt water and EVERYONE who says it's good is on some kind of mass psychosis, normie psyop shit where they feel like they have to say it's good even though it's bad. Emperor's clothes etc. Borscht is fucking awful and it can not ever be good. Do not fall for the meme. Please.

Ukrainian and Polish are very different. Ukrainian is mild in flavor and color as it's made from fresh new beets and served with vegetables. Polish is made with fermented beet concentrate giving it an intense red color and fuzzy flavor, best served spice from black pepper. Both are delicious. I'm not familiar with any other types.

OP will try borscht and then he has to choose his path. He knows it tastes like literal dirt with a healthy dose of Red, but does he admit that and get shunned by the Foodies or does he stay true to himself, and say what is real in spite of the social pressures?

when beets taste like dirt to you that's a YOU problem. grapes, carrots, etc. would also taste like dirt to you and you're just a cursed tastelet

borsct isn't mystical. it's literally just a standard soup base like
>onion
>carrot
>broth
>cabbage
that runs with the nitro of bright red beets, a surprisingly sweet root vegetable when fully cooked. meat is optional

>roast beets rarely but thats the only time ive ever seen it at anyones houses or on a menu besides borcht which my mom also rarely makes.

I don't make it that often for the simple reason that it takes quite a long time to make. The beets have to be simmered in the pot a very long time after being peeled and chunked(2+hours), or roasted through before hand (usually 50 minutes, depending on size), or grated down to pencil size which requires either a powerful food processor or as much as 30 minutes of grating by hand, and it still needs to simmer 1 hour+ when roasted or grated thin anyway.

Even with all of that, Borscht always taste better the next day anyway. I basically only make it when the gf requests it for the 5th time in a row.

it is called chłodnik it has its origins in the polish-lithuanian commonwealth. chilled beat soup thickened with buttermilk or yogurt (I use kefir) and contains radishes, scallion, cucumber, and hard boiled egg. you can buy it in plastic bottles in polish shops the same way you’d buy a 20oz soda from a store.

so any of you guys ever try Hong Kong style borscht?

If you haven't tried yet, give picrel a try. It's a very fresh take on the borscht saga. My grandma has been making it often in summer, it is less heavy than the traditional beetroot borscht, yet still very hearthy.

I’ve only taken the time to make it as part of a special meal, big russian dinner kind of thing with lots of meat in the other dishes so adding it to the borscht seemed excessive. Really good contrast to the rest of the meal in that sense, I didn’t use much fat so it was almost like a salad dish next to the potato pancakes, stuffed cabbage etc.
