"Russian Mennonite Borscht (from the oral tradition): Simmer about 4 lbs. beef, mutton, or pork, with lots of bone until almost done, salt to taste, of course. Add a head of cabbage and about 4 onions, all medium sliced or chopped, three long stems dill, and a small handful of parsley. When done, add about twelve or so juicy ripe tomatoes and keep simmering until these are done. Served with sweet or sour cream: Umm-hmm!"
