Make Okrush

Lion’s humble drinker Nikita from the story of Lion Tolstoy "Host and Worker", whose meekness went to no as the wine adopted, got drunk once, the ax "cut all her (grooms) of sundresses and dresses into a small okrochka". Cut something into the okroshka, make it out of someone – the expression from the consumption of last century. Note by the way that other Slavic soups enriched Russian phraseology: what at least "team Salvanka", denoting any Popourri, and the "Professor of Accei", although in the latter case it is still on the drink.

What you should cut into a real okrochka, small or large, knows any mistress. Yes what is there, they know and small children: cucumber cut, green, naked, cut down soft boiled potatoes, egg there, and greens, and doctoral sausage, and further according to preferences. Craise, yielding to gust, and kvass with kefir, nothing that liquids.

Recipe for a non-cold soup, Russian Gaspacho, who, as the foreign press writes, is nicely complements the short and cold-summer summer, we meet in the "ancient Russian hostess, the key.Ice and Strayapukh ", manual for the houses 1790 edition. There is no secret for the strengunditude, the key here, and the entire recipe fits out three and a half short lines: " Spark out different hot meats, with bow, cucumbers and cream; and pincers pour with cucumber brine, or kvass, or acidic". The hostess, not stopping even on "different meat", passes to the extermination of spiders in blue vitriol – with the window and so everything is clear.

The recipe with which we will introduce the reader, saw the light after the whole century after the Straypukhina – in 1901 the 22nd edition of the "Gift with young hostesses" Elena Molokhovets came out. Cooking recommendations are given at number 202, instead of hurt proximity to spiders – Neighborhood with a chill of apples and a Polish cold.

"A gift to young hostesses" did not get along with the Soviet reality – the schonling and head was recommended to "give people", which, of course, was unforgivable in young communist Russia. Did not get along with the new building and Elena Morokhovets herself, deceased in Hungry Petrograd in 1918. The main work of her life by the Soviet man was perceived as a mion, spit into the soul. In 1957, when the revolutionary pathos came to the right, Arseny Tarkovsky will write an angry poem dedicated to the victim 40 years ago a woman:

To whom you are with institutes

We advise sterling otters

Painting broth,

So that it became gold, like a million,

Heading servants fogging so that,

What now the employers have lunch?

Was, however, for seven dozen years of Soviet power a short period when "gift" came to the yard. In the 30s, after the famous Stalinist "Living became better, there was a fun, the whole culture began to make the production of classics for the people. Mikoyan was instructed to develop a "book about tasty and healthy food", which, like the cinema, and literature, sought to return to pre-revolutionary sources, but the origins should have adapted "for the poor". Work, with the exception of some ideological adjustments, almost completely duplicated the "gift". The recipes are rewritten almost literally.

But the main hope was that for cooking, for example, Olivier, cancer cakes were required, and for the same okroshka – ham and language, which, even recovered after hunger, 1932-1933 people could not afford. So came to the aid of boiled doctoral sausage, designed to amend the health of the victims of tsarism and the Civil War. At first, Ryabchiki lost her place in Olivier, and then all the meat in salads surrendered to the powerful sausage on the mighty sausage, which is the average modern okroshka – a vivid example.

In this part, the molokhovets does not inform the modern owner of anything new – unless the tarragon, but, knowing the current craving to all sorts of herbs and spices, will not be surprised, having met here even a arugula. Another version of the experiment for fear and risk of the reader is to add beet tops, the traditional component of another major Russian cold soup.

Taking this opportunity to supplement the picture of the morals with the following observation: In some institutions, the okroshka began to serve in tea, and where in the coffee cups instead of the proposed molokhovets and common sense of soup. It is probably done for a smaller consumption of products – that in a cup, then the drink, and the thickness is appropriate. Judge whether it is good, the author leaves the reader.

This last point of our recipe needs explanation. What is this bavarian kvass such when each child knows that kvass is only Russian? And how to breed the kvass? That is, fill the soup soup?

To answer these questions is simple and nice: Bavarian Kvass differs from the usual (what to take for the usual? There are dozens of varieties) by what is made from red barley malt and wheat flour instead of the usual rye. From here and the name – the north of Kursk wheat does not grow and is understood as a foreigner.

As for the acid, they are completely no soup, but a malt drink. In Cherniviki, Pushkin meet:

I will take a kingdom to my relationship:

They feed nuts

Yes cheeky soup in theater drink.

Sour soup had to be blocked in bottles, similar to those in which champagne poured, was so much roasted.

Actually, the soup is ready. The idea to put in a plate "A piece of clean ice" seems to be quite consistent with the chosen spirit.
