Borscht Story and Recipes I - III Borscht
Yudel the waggoner, having banished the bad taste of a long journey with a dose of brandy, was immersed in a plate of borscht.
"Yudel," his neighbor Yankel yelled into the kitchen, "something terrible has happened!"
The waggoner continued to eat with intense concentration.
"Yudel, you idiot," cried Yankel, "prepare yourself for bad news. Something terrible, I tell you, has happened!"
Still Yudel ate, unperturbed.
"Yudel," Yankel persisted, "you poor man. Your wife has just died."
The news had no apparent effect.
"How can you eat so calmly?" Yankel rebuked him. "It isn't natural."
"Make no mistake!" The wagonner looked up from his plate for a moment. "When I finish this borscht, will I give a yell!"
