I don't know.  At least you know what's in the shchi and kasha.  FWIW, I love cabbage soup, so I don't judge anyone for their "peasant" food.  And I think I'd have to have a bowl of borscht if I could choose my last meal.  In fact, I could live off the stuff.  I was recently talking to a friend of mine who is in cooking school, who was lamenting the popular attitude towards beets in in this country...   But mystery meat cutlets freak me out!
