Steak Sandwich tomatoes grow large and have that old-fashioned tomato taste that is perfect for sandwiches or salads. They grow firm even when fully ripe which makes them very easy to slice for a good BLT or hamburger. Plants produce high yields well into fall.
Depending on the recipe, some of these components may be omitted or substituted for. Borscht ingredients may include beef, pork, lard, beetroots, cabbage, carrots, celeriac, onions, potatoes, mushrooms, tomato paste, parsley, chives, dill, bay leaves, allspice and black pepper.
The name derives from the soul food item chitterlings (stewed pig intestines); it is also a play on the term Borscht Belt, which referred to particular resort venues (primarily in New York State's Catskill Mountains) that were popular with Jewish performers and audiences during the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.
