It looks like the dollop of sour cream had begun to temper the borscht in advance of the photo being taken thus rendering it Barbie pink.<\/p>\n<p>But this isn\u2019t quite borscht. Yes, the borscht we usually encounter is deep red and beet-based \u2013 there\u2019s white rye-based borscht and green sorrel-based borscht too \u2013 but this is Ch\u0142odnik Litewski. It does contain beets but one difference is the presence of cucumbers, radishes, and herbs like dill and parsley. Another distinguishing characteristic is that dairy in the form of buttermilk, yogurt, kefir, or sour cream is an essential ingredient, not an afterthought, hence its unvarnished ungarnished color.<\/p>\n<p>So it&#8217;s a hot pink cold soup.<\/p>\n<p>Polish Ch\u0142odnik (\u201ccold soup\u201d) Litewski (\u201cLithuanian\u201d) is light and refreshing and perfect for a summer food tour in Greenpoint where I selected it as another example of a treat we\u2019ll experience if I actually do an ethnojunket there. That\u2019s up to you, of course. I\u2019ll post a few more examples and when we\u2019ve reached the last one, let me know if a Greenpoint ethnojunket sounds like a good idea to you!<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned&#8230;.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A hot pink cold soup.
