I find this post unworthy of Edible. I've cooked out of the Veselka Cafe cookbook for years after eating there (we lived near it). I walked by the Russian baths and ate at the Russian Tea Room many times. All this pro Ukraine - anti-Russia nonsense from people who didn't even know where Ukraine even was, let alone the US involvement in using it for money laundering, to house biochemical labs (which Victoria Nuland has just admitted to and are like the one in China that brought us Covid), not to mention letting the Bidens through Hunter Biden use it to make millions. It's a complex situation the US is guilty for engineering and no amount of making pickled tomatoes is going to make that right. What really disgusts me are the people boycotting Russian businesses owned by American citizens in this country. This is exactly what the US did to Japanese-Americans during WWII. I had a dear Santa Barbara friend who was put in an internment camp during the war. All you hoopla pro Ukraine anti Russian people are dangerous and doing no good.

It appears that onion skin dyed eggs are a tradition in Ukraine as well. I didn't know this until I saw Edible SB's twitter post about it. We have an article on that!
