An excerpt from this post:
 
"Borscht is a peasant soup popular in Central and Eastern Europe. The word comes from the Slavic word borshchevik which means hogweed, a vegetable once important to the Slavs. Today the defining ingredient in borscht is beet root... As a humble and quotidian dish, I’ve never heard of the soup in conjunction with Valentine’s Day.  However, it seemed perfect as a bright red starter on a cold winter day."

Thanks for reading,
Aly
