They misspelled "borscht" on their own sign.
ReplyDeleteGood news. It's also at Little Poland, Neptune, and the butcher on 2nd Avenue if you miss out at PGI!
ReplyDeleteFunny you should run this notice. I stumbled by on Saturday for some potato salad and cookies and the owner suggested the borscht as my vegetarian option. I was more in the mood for mushroom barley or split pea, but tried the borcht (I suppose this is not a misspelling but the brand name). It was delicious and seems to have shredded carrots in it as well.
ReplyDeleteWill the lines go out the door like those of all the new foodie places, like Superiority?
I doubt it. So I can have all the delicious borcht (trademark duly noted) I want without those pesky millennials mucking up the sidewalks with their inexorable lines!
Actually people, it's "barszcz" !
ReplyDeleteHow is this possible? I thought the EV was suburban and bland. This must be a mistake- you cant buy this anywhere in real burbs.
ReplyDeleteThe English spelling is a little aleatoric; the dictionaries list several variants. In Polish, it's actually "barszcz" (for real), which doesn't look so appetizing to Americans.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't like their spelling, you can inform them. Please do it politely, so they don't think you're a jerk.
I believe the owner is Israeli as well, so maybe that has something to do with the spelling.
ReplyDeleteAnxiously awaiting Polish G. I. Delicatessen Cold Borscht Comedy Festival.
ReplyDeleteNo, the owners are Grace (Grazyna) and Irene, her sister, and they're both Polish. David works for them, and he's Israeli but originally from Iran (and occasionally wanders over to the Persian restaurant up the block and talks to the people in Farsi).
ReplyDeleteCriticizing their spelling is a totally douche move.
Who cares about the spelling? It's the buttermilk that is the problem. You only add sour cream, NOT buttermilk. Get a dose of reality, people!
ReplyDeleteNo. Buttermilk is very common. In fact, Sour cream is more often simply an added garnish.
ReplyDeleteIsraeli? Nothing about anyone in there seems Israeli.
ReplyDelete"there is a borscht recipe for every Polish cook" so I have always used Teresa's Cold Borscht as my own benchmark...they are still out on Montague Street, but were on First Avenue for over 10 years...and so while I think of Veselka as a Playskool Version of what the taste might be, I found the overuse of dill a drawback, and need to continue to Neptune and the Butcher on Second before handing out the Annual Cold Borscht Taste Test Award...which, currently resides in Brooklyn, in memorium to those Summers past.
