What the Kvass is That?!

October 7, 2006 – 3:34 pm

Today I found a little Russian shop with some things that are pretty hard to find in the US. One of those things is kvass - a Russian/Ukrainian drink made from fermented black (or rye) bread. Sounds gross, but it’s not too bad. It’s not fantastic, but it is certainly unique and worth a few sips. So I bought a bottle of kvass and a bottle of pinapple soda.
