In the country’s canteens, millions of plates were filled daily with brine, soup, ear and even dried fruit soup, which is now completely forgotten. In general, soup in the USSR was for every taste and, which is especially important in light of our current topic, for every pocket!

Speaking of budget soups, every time I remember the hero of the debut novel Eduard Limonov. Russian emigrant Edichka lives in New York on social benefits and adheres to his own doctrine of economical nutrition, based on the dogma of the exclusivity of sour.

“Shih with sour cabbage is my usual food, I eat them pan by pan, day in and day out, and, apart from herring, eat almost nothing,” surprises Americans thrifty and resourceful Edichka.

Its advantages, in his opinion, are: “1. It is very cheap, two or three dollars costs a pot, and a pot lasts for two days! 2. Do not sour outside the refrigerator even in the heat. 3. Prepare quickly - only an hour and a half. 4. You can and should eat them cold. 5. There is no better food for the summer because it is sour.”





Here, of course, there is an exaggeration and a desire to scandalize Americans, but there is a rational grain. They are really good on the second day. They can be prepared quickly and cheap due to autumn conservation.
