And it also has cucumbers and can be garnished with sour cream (as well as - yum! - avocado). Now gazpacho — that’s a nice cold soup I enjoy on a hot summer day.

Pickled herring is truly frightening. I think I might give it a try though, even though I really don't know how I feel about beets. If nothing else, I can eat the cucumbers and sour cream together. ;-) See, I thought it was borscht. Pickled herring is truly frightening.

He's the only one in the family who liked it (usually accompanied with {ugh!} pickled herring), and she was NOT a cook - so he always got the bottled Manischewitz variety. And yes, he did eat it with sour cream. Borscht (yes, it is usually spelled with a C) was a favorite of my Eastern European Jewish great-grandfather, who lived with his daughter, my grandmother.
