Hi - I don't mean to sound ignorant, but aren't pickled eggs (or beets) just a simple, basic thing that people have been eating for centuries in any country that has the ingredients? I've eaten them in Germany, but also in Siberia. I've heard of them in English dishes . . . it just seems like it could be called a "russian" dish as easily as a "german" dish. Am I wrong in this? - Cheri Cheri Lee McElroy cmcelroy@mexia.com http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Hills/2840
