Hi! I am from Brazil, my great grandparents came from Poland. This year my dad passed away and I find myself taking an interest in Polish culture, maybe to be closer to dad and grandma. I only knew how to make farmers cheese pierogui, learned it from grandma, but I found your channel and decided to make this soup for Christmas. I was unsure if I would like it, as I never tasted it before. I also had to substitute some of the ingredients, I didnt find the type of celery you used, and I am vegan so I replaced the egg and butter for vegan substitutes. The soup turned out great! It is different from any soup I tasted before, it is hearty, flaverfull and not too strong neither too weak. I loved it and I will be definetly making it again. Thanks so much. It is amazing that I can connect with my family roots through food, even so far away from Poland, thanks to your channel. The miracles of internet and learning english. Merry Christmas!
When i make anything polish and someone ask me for a recipe I ALWAYS send them to your chanel. One of the reasons ( besides your cooking is excellent) is for the measurements , because i always cook "na oko"🤣🤣🤣. So thank you for that.
I’m actually dating a guy right now who told me that he hasn’t had beetroot since his grandmother passed so I wanna learn how to make Borscht to surprise him
Holey moley. I’m in heaven with this and very late to watch this particular video. It’s all very enticing. Beets are life ... even in my Norwegian mother’s world. And she also said marjoram was a spice she couldn’t live without. ❤️❤️ And please let me know if parsley root is different than parsnip ... I think parsnips taste like a wet old rag. Lol.
Parsley root is different than parsnips. it is also calledCeleriac (Apium graveolens var. rapaceum), also called celery root, knob celery, and turnip-rooted celery (although it is not a close relative of the turnip). Thanks for watching!
Question! I don’t have a mason jar like you do so I used another glass jar with a suction lid and taped it around to seal it. If a bit of air gets in is that okay?
No meat on Christmas? Does that have a religious meaning behind that tradition, like no meat on Fridays during Lent in the Catholic faith, or is it based on some other tradition? Interesting! That soup looks like a labor of love!! A two part video eh? I guess I will have to wait until next Monday? Take care!
It’s based on folklore. On Christmas Eve an angel comes down from heaven to visit all the animals and asks them how you have been treating them to see how much to bless you for the next year.... that’s why you must feed them well and it is meat free dinner for the night. That’s what I’ve been told.
@@76monikaW In Poland, Christmas Eve is a day first of fasting, then of feasting. The Wigilia feast begins at the appearance of the first star. There is no red meat served but fish, usually carp. The supper, which includes many traditional dishes and desserts can sometimes last for over two hours. It is followed by the exchange of gifts. I finally had to Google it!! 😁 Very interesting!! Thank you for sharing your culture! My traditions are based on German heritage, but have been modified by American culture also. Thanks to everyone who has shared a little of Polish history with me!!
@@markhurning8051 I didnt question them being organic. I used to grow buraczki (beets) with my Babcia and Dziadek. I meant raw in the definition of 'not cooked'. They do not come of of the ground the colour or texture the ones in the video are. These have been cooked in advance (before the start of the video) so that means they are not raw, they are pre-cooked
