If I get it right "borsch" is just a some kind of red-beet soup. Yes, It should be excelent dish for cold winter days with vodka drink and bear meat. And I've heard about another interesting dish for summer period:
"Russians refresh themselves with this cold soup made of ice-cold kvass (weird national drink most closely compared to non-alcoholic beer), sausage, cucumbers, onions, boiled eggs and sour cream - just imagine this horrendous concoction!!... And guess what they call this "soup" ... They call it "ohkroshka"...
Pretty difficult to articulate, huh? And now get ready for a translation.
"Ohkroshka" means "oh baby!"
