I Hate Borsch!

Yevgenia Nayberg

A young Ukrainian girl cannot stand borsch, despite the expectation that Ukrainians should love the red soup. As she grows older, however, she comes to miss it and feels nostalgic for the food she once rejected. Told with whimsy and humor, the story considers how a familiar dish can carry complicated cultural ties. It follows the changing connection between one girl, borsch, and the place and heritage associated with it.
