Project created jointly with the Federal Tourism Agency of the Russian Federation. At first, the material on the Russian Google blog was called “10 Russian dishes that went down in history.” The fifth point was dedicated to borscht.

“The history of borscht goes back centuries, but in the twentieth century this simple and hearty soup became the main dish on the menu of establishments from Khabarovsk to Brest,” the text said.

Later, the title of the material was changed to “10 dishes that influenced Russian cuisine.”

We also changed the description of borscht:

"The history of borscht goes back centuries, but in the twentieth century this hearty soup became the main dish on the menu in cafes in several countries, including Russia."

The mention of different types of borscht in the blog was left as follows:

“There are many variations in cookbooks, including Ukrainian borscht (with garlic and grated lard), Moscow-style borscht (with different types of meat - bacon, sausages and boiled beef) and even naval borscht (with red pepper and smoked pork)".

The new version also says that “over time, new ingredients appeared in recipes that replaced hogweed, and the name “borscht” became a collective name for various soups with a sour taste.”

Minister of Culture Alexander Tkachenko in his Telegram channel said that in the Russian Federation "again wishful thinking."

He wrote that borscht is an ethnic Ukrainian dish and that Ukraine pushed borscht to be included in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List:

“Raskusi Russia also invites foreigners to go on a gastronomic tour of Russia. Interestingly, will there be tours to the captured South Ossetia for pies? Or to the annexed Crimea - for the dishes of the persecuted Crimean Tatars? Or to the captured parts of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, where they cook wonderful borscht? "

As ForumDaily wrote earlier:

  • The "borscht war" began in 2019, when a Russian government Twitter account wrote that borscht is "one of the most famous and beloved dishes and symbols of traditional Russian cuisine."
  • The statement sparked outrage on social media. Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine wants to obtain UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status for a dish.
  • He added fuel to the fire with the Michelin restaurant guide, which this year begins to evaluate Moscow restaurants. In the company's press release mentioned borscht and called it a Russian dish... The Ukrainian Embassy in France reported that Michelin apologized for this publication.
  • This is far from the first time that countries have an appetite for conflicts over national dishes. Here's another several heated debates about the origin of the most famous dishes and foodstuffs.
