#ff borscht

So... I had a moment. One insane moment that grasped me all day.

For the Wip Game:

1. Eat

Shevchenko - Testament

Hello anon!

1.Eat is another of those vague google docs that I don't think I'll ever end up posting. It was a really vague concept around how food is so very tied to ones memories. I wanted it to be a reflective piece with Ukrainian national dishes as focus points, mostly for Volodymyr, as a way to connect to memories, moments, people & ideas from the past, but hope for the future as well. (I also have a terrible habit of giving characters bowls of soup or borscht whenever my brain is like ffs, give them some comfort and coziness damnit). It never really got off the ground because I think the idea was a bit.. too specific and a bit too similar to things I've already written.

Shevchenko - Testament is very much a work in progress; but here's a wee snippet:

Despite the sunlight pouring into the gardens of Mariinsky Palace, too-bright, especially after today, Maks feels the hairs on the back of his neck rise, a slow tendril of fear snaking around his heart, pressing there. Something feels off, wrong - something he can't quite put his finger on. There's something missing.

- Other characters will be introduced with time just with general interactions with the family.

Soup Mom is about to smack everyone into order.

I was commissioned to draw her and I decided to go with her fancy attack, much like my fancy Tortoise Jelly pic from before. The ruffles were a bit difficult to draw but I had a lot of fun with it. I love drawing long, flowing things.

I am currently open to commissions, though I only do a few at a time. Feel free to message me if you’re interested.

Happy Winter Solstice

yep I did this again because it was fun af last time, this time its seasonal edition.

Borscht: There are many types of Borscht in many different cultures as it is a very widespread food, found as far as from Eastern Europe to Northern Asia. Borscht is often associated with its role in religious traditions of various denominations that are common in Eastern Europe. In Poland and Ukraine, borscht is usually one of the dishes served at a Christmas Eve dinner. Celebrated after the first star appeared in the sky on December 24 (Roman Catholic) or January 6 (Greek Catholic), it is a meal which is at the same time festive and fasting, which excludes ingredients of land-animal origin. Christmas Eve borscht is, therefore, either vegetarian or based on fish stock and is not typically mixed with sour cream.

The Borscht in the game is based on a specific type based out of Northeast China known as luó sòng tāng(罗宋汤). This variety of Borscht is made with red cabbage and tomato as opposed to beetroot to give it it’s vibrant red color and does not include sour cream, instead it most often uses flour as a thickener. We can see this in her design which includes cabbage, tomatoes, no beets, and a more orange-tinted soup rather than the deeper red of beet-based Borscht. It was introduced by refugees from Russia but adapted and made popular by Chinese residents. Interestingly enough many of the adaptations bring the dish back closer to its origins as a soup made with ingredients found locally used to keep warm and fed through lean times, particularly the winter.

Eggnog: While culinary historians debate where eggnog originated, most agree it came from from the early medieval British drink called posset that was sometimes used as a medicine for colds and the flu, this is possibly where an association with the coldest season began. Even though now it's known not to have many medicinal properties beyond a good amount of protein, Eggnog is still a commonly bought item for winter celebrations, especially Christmas.

Posset originally was made with hot milk curdled with wine or ale and spiced, eggs and figs are thought to have been added around the 13th century. The in-game eggnog is likely based on “My Lord of Carlisle’s Sack-Posset” from the 17th century, which contained heated cream, cinnamon, mace, nutmeg, eggs, and sack wine. Additionally, sugar, ambergris, and musk were stirred in. This drink would have been very expensive to make and a luxury further displayed by nobility in special posset pots often made from silver and decorated lightly. In modern times there are now many more affordable recipes of eggnog including sugar-free, fat-free, vegetarian, vegan, alcohol-free, to name a few and it can be consumed by almost anyone.

Gingerbread: Gingerbread could refer to many types of cookies, cakes, or biscuits typically flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and, of course, ginger. It is said to have been brought to Europe by an Armenian monk in what is now western Greece in 992 CE and it later brought to France when he moved. By the 13th century varieties were starting to be found all over Europe, often being made by organizations such as nunneries and guilds. Some decorative gingerbread biscuits began to be made around this time as well. The first documented trade of gingerbread biscuits is from the 17th century where they were sold in monasteries, markets, and pharmacies. They were thought to have some medicinal properties, which was not unfounded as ginger root is often used to soothe the stomach.

One of the most famous styles of gingerbread, gingerbread men, was developed in England in the court of Elizabeth the first for foreign nobility and ambassadors. Only in more recent times did this decorative styling become associated with Christmas despite a long history of Christians making gingerbread biscuits. In many places, it’s variants are still eaten casually and are often less flashy than the holiday cookie most people recognize.

Jiuniang:  Jiuniang is a sweet pudding or soup-like dish made with partially broken down rice in a sweet, slightly alcoholic, base. It was originally discovered as a byproduct of making a type of rice wine known as Mijiu. Jiuniang must be stored carefully or quickly consumed or it will turn to rice wine or vinegar as it continues to ferment. Because of this it is most often made and eaten in winter when it is easiest to stop the process.

Jiuniang is a dish often served during the Dongzhi Festival, a popular Chinese winter solstice holiday often associated with family reunion and ancestors. During this festival, it is often eaten with tangyuan and/or flavored with sweet osmanthus. Medical research has shown the dish to be quite beneficial for one's health, providing energy, helping circulation, and aiding in digestion and appetite. In other words, it is a nearly perfect food for a wintertime celebration.

Tangyuan: A dumpling made with glutinous rice flour and often served at festivals. They are cooked in boiling water and served in a soup or with sweet syrup. Dessert specialty shops have created many new colors and flavors of tangyuan to meet the changing needs and tastes of consumers the traditional filling of tangyuan is sesame paste, ground black sesame seeds with sugar and lard, but the fillings can range from chocolate, fruit preserves. red bean paste, peanuts, pumpkin, and even mashed potatoes.

They are most often eaten at the winter solstice and lunar new year, although they can be found all year round. They are often eaten with family and symbolize togetherness, a theme that follows the Dongzhi Festival, and the name tangyuan is even a homophone for union. Tangyuan at this event is often served filled or unfilled in Jiuniang and sweet osmanthus, and they are considered a needed part of the celebration.

Candy Cane - Candy canes are a commonly enjoyed sweet associated with Christmas and Saint Nicholas day. the are traditionally unflavored beyond sugar and white  but now many colors and flavours can be found. They are often given to children and can represent the crosier of Saint Nicholas. Croisers allude to the Good Shepherd, an epithet associated with Jesus. They became more decorated as Christmas festivities became more extravagant, gaining stripes and flavoring. Candy canes are even credited in peppermints strong association with winter and Christmas although the reason why they were flavored with mint is not known for sure beyond possibly the cooling sensation of menthol.

Folktales say that a choirmaster in 1670 Germany is responsible for the creation of candy canes after he asked a local candy maker to make sugar sticks to keep children quiet during the church’s nativity scene. To justify this he had the candymaker turn the ends of the sticks like that of a crook to symbolize the shepherds who visited baby Jesus. This idea became popular and cane canes became a popular thing to give children during nativity plays. This legend explains the strong tie to Christmas, although it hasn’t been proven with certainty.
