#45: The World in a Pickle - The war of the soups (with Yevhen Klopotenko)
When Russia started to claim ownership over the ever popular –and oftentimes fermented– soup known as Borscht, Ukrainian chef Yevhen Klopotenko knew he had to do something. He took up a knife, chopped up some beetroots, added a few more ingredients, and turned them into a soup. Then he traveled across Ukraine to find out where this dish comes from. If he could only confirm its origins, UNESCO could protect Ukrainian Borscht, winning a battle on the food front against cultural appropriation. Why is Borscht so important? Join us on a fermentation journey through the intricacy and diversity of this beloved soup.
Welcome to the 2nd episode of the World in a Pickle, Ferment Radio’s mini-series focused on understanding geopolitical complexities through fermented foods.
