    Food connects us to who we are. Those ladies packing the soup are adding extra love in each bag. We need things to remind of us Mama and grandma. Beautiful video and I understand the recipe so much better.

    In Ro we have the word "borş" but it means a type of fermentation that is added to soups to become sour. Then, those type of sour soups are called ,,ciórbă" which is of Arabic/ Ottoman/ Turkish origin

    Before y'all say anything about the "ruZZian bots" and stuff.
    Historically Borsch has been a shared dish between Russia and Ukraine during a lot of time. Perhaps with different recipes and all.
    That's all I gotta say, at least in Eastern Europe there is a lot of shared dishes, that may have different ingredients and all.
    Perhaps it's by "appropriation" or not. But it's still a shared dish

    It's worth looking at the history. A thousand years ago what is now called Ukraine was reffered to as either Red Rus (Ruthenia, parts of modern day West Ukraine) or Kievan Rus (later term, referring to a much larger entity). In contrats the area of Belarus was called White Rus ("biela" means "white" in most slavic languages). The country we reffer to as Russia today traces it's beginning to Muscovy which only appeared in the 13th century (so some 4 centuries later than Kiev and Ukraine/Kievan Rus) and it was a vassal state of the Golden Horde, an offshoot of the Mongol Empire. It did not exist as an independent state till the 16th century.
    The fact that the Russia dominated the region in the 19th century and especially because of the iron curtain after WW2 most people identify everything from this region as Russian - from Polish Wódka to Ukrainian Borscht. While for us from the region, Russia was mostly viewed as a cultural backwater and a nouveau riche lacking pedigree and heritage.
    So yeah, I'm pretty certain Ukrainian Borscht is a bit older than Russia, just like Polish Wódka dates back to when what is now Moscow was just a swamp in the middle of nowhere.

    • @mariuszs3
      @mariuszs3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The fact is that neither Ukraine nor Belarus existed. The majority of those modern day countries were part of the Polish Lituanian Commonwealth. It's like saying there were Pakistanis 1000 years ago...

    People who speak about war propaganda here? We, Ukrainians, are trying to share our culture, everyday life, cuisine, and traditions with you. We are entirely different nations from Russians-like the Scots and English, the Belgians and French, the Germans and Austrians, India and Pakistan, Armenia and Azerbaijan. For centuries, we've been told-just as the whole world has-that we and the Russians are one and the same. But THAT is propaganda. We have our own history, heroes, literature, music, folklore, clothing, and so much more. Support us. We are fighting for our future, our children, and our independence from killers and moral degenerates. Glory to Ukraine!

      @nestormakhno9266 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The dish is too broad for it to likely have a single city, province, or country of origin, it's made mostly from local ingredients the regions peasantry would have access to so it's likely the soup started in both places at the same time. Plus migration between modern Russia and Ukraine was more common since there wasn't really state control in the region for a while so it wouldn't be shocking if say a group of Russians moved to Ukraine and used local ingredients instead to make their soup and it caught on among the locals or a group of Ukrainians moving to Russia and doing the same.

    The western media: *for years and years shows borsch as stereotypically Russian food*
    Also the western media: *akshually, borsch is Ukrainian, and Russians STOLE it for themselves* 🤓
    Some notable examples:
    1. The Sopranos
    Borsch is mentioned when Tony meets Russian characters in season4. The scene plays on Russian stereotypes, and borsch helps to illustrate the cultural difference and Tony's discomfort.
    2. John Wick 3
    Borsch is served to John Wick in the Belarusian-Russian community led by “The Director”.
    3. Red Heat
    Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a Soviet cop. There are references to Russian food like borsch, emphasizing his Soviet origins.
    4. Fiddler on the Roof
    While not directly mentioned, borsch is implied as part of the traditional Russian Jewish cuisine in scenes with meals.
    5. Stranger Things
    In Season 3, Alexei is a Russian scientist, and Russian food-including borsch-comes up in scenes to play up cultural differences.
    6. Dr. Zhivago
    Borsch is featured as a staple in various scenes, emphasizing Russian life during times of war.
    7. The Grand Budapest Hotel
    Film references Eastern European culture, including foods like borsch, to create a sense of place in the fictional Zubrowka.
    8. Orange is the New Black
    Russian cook Red occasionally references traditional Russian foods, including borsch.
    9. Eastern Promises
    This film about Russian mobsters mentions borsch as part of immigrant life.
    10. Rocky and Bullwinkle
    Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale, Russian caricatures, mention borsch in a few episodes.
    11. Timon & Pumbaa episode "Russia hour" where they travel to Russia and encounter a Russian wild boar named Boris who gives them borsch.
    Now name 10 popular, well-known films/series where borsch is mentioned as Ukrainian.

    An interesting clarification. If you analyze the facts critically and carefully, then it becomes clear that borscht belongs to Ukrainian culture!
