Honestly, for the first time I tried traditional okroshka on home kvass, I could not appreciate it. We went to visit our mother-in-law this weekend. She laid a table in the garden and began to treat us to everything that is usually cooked in the summer in the country. It was not a feast without a cool okroshka, which the husband undertook to weave and praise. I, barely swallowing the first spoon, poured the contents of the plate under the lilac bush as soon as the hostess went to the house for sandwiches. "It's sour!" I summed up in a whisper. You can't drag me by the ears right now!
