re: Food photos!
@eredien Can't find exact recipe easily online - all the ones I find use kefir lime, and possibly kvass!
https://www.kitchenstories.com/en/recipes/okroshka-russian-cold-soup is a recipe I haven't tried!
Neither of which I used; I just used vegetable broth, coconut milk (in place of buttermilk) and the solids and spices were all the same (radish, ham, cucumber, boiled potato, hard boiled egg, green onion; parsley, dill, salt, black pepper). I'm going off the recipe in Tatyana Nesterluk's book, Beyond Borscht.
