How Russian borscht became a Hong Kong staple
- newsbinator 8y agoI often wonder why it's written with a 't' on the end in English. Seems like wikipedia has the answer: > The English word borscht, also spelled borsch, borsht, or bortsch, comes from Yiddish באָרשט (borsht). The latter derives from the word борщ (borshch), which is common to East Slavic languages, such as Ukrainian or Russian.
