While the Russian reference is of good quality, I propose to add two references written in English for English speaking users. Cms28-NJITWILL (talk) 07:40, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My mom always puts a tablespoon or 2 (depends of the portion) of Dijon Mustard to Okroshka before adding Kvass, that gives it nice spicy flavor. I always thought that mustard is a part of original recipe, but can't find it in the article, so I leave it up to discussion whatever to add it to the article or not...

Please consider.

Sounds like an interesting idea to add a mustard, however I've never seen anybody doing like that. Certainly not a part of the original recipe. Benadin (talk) 01:12, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Spicy greens such as mustard, rocket etc may have been used to add "bite", so adding prepared mustard to the kvass could be seen as continuing that option. Personally I would prefer to use the natural flavour of the veg rather than adding to the liquid but that's me. Anyway, its a shame this can't be said in the article because its OR but on a hot, sticky summer evening, Okroshka is the best supper dish in the world.

Mustard is of course an option, but not that uncommon in Russia here. For example, I always add mustard to okroshka but my wife never does. Inego (talk) 01:40, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Basic information to add to this article (in order to help make it properly encyclopedic: the etymology of the Russian word окрошка. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 23:06, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
