The new GOST stated that okroshka should be prepared only with kvass. The State Duma appreciated this decision.
The quality standard was immediately approved for 130 dishes from Russian cuisine. The new rules allow the use of only bread kvass as a sauce - no kefir or other fermented dairy products. GOST will enter into force on January 1.
Deputy State Duma Vitaly Milonov in a conversation with Gazeta. Ru" mentioned that traditionally okroshka should be made with kvass.
"I can't call myself the second William Poklevkin, but I suspect that the Russian okroshka should be made only with Russian bread kvass, and nothing else. I respect fermented milk okroshka, but I dare to point out that the creation of such okroshka is inclined to Eastern traditions," Milonov said.
The age-old question: what to season okroshka with?
- Kvass.
- kefir
- I don't recognize this dish at all.
