‘It’s the South African version of beef jerky but it is awesome by comparison. It’s strips of meat, salted and spiced, dried out and truly delicious.
RUSSIA – BORSCH
This beet and cabbage red soup is a delicious belly warmer on Moscow’s colder days, served with or without meat, potato, herbs (usually dill) and a dollop of smetana, Russian sour cream. Accompanied with a piece of rye bread or garlic bread topped with melted cheese, this dish is hearty enough to serve as a meal, although it is usually eaten as a starter. A staple of Russia cuisine, it would be an offense to leave Moscow without trying this soup at least once.
These are definitely a must try!
