Friday. Make borscht. In large part because beets are sold here already cooked in 500 gram plastic vacuum packs. Suitable for using without getting one's hands (very) dirty. Not Cypriot - usually Dutch. And much nicer than the usual supermarket offerings at home that are often soft and spongy. Eighty-two euro cents this pack ($1.29 CAD, £0.69). Gives some meaning to cheap like borscht.
