Pairing Borscht correctly — a note on kvass

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Borscht. I ordered it with kvass and the earthy and hearty elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. dill in particular became more prominent in a good way.

Ukrainian cuisine reflects centuries of agricultural abundance. The a family Sunday lunch is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Borscht with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
