Look Adam did a stupid thing and it’s good that it has come to light but I don’t think vilifying him to be the worst person in history is the right answer. He was for all intent and purpose a good boss and if you scrutinise someone to nth degree anyone will look bad, again I’m not saying what he did is ok but we are smarter than to just assume that because one person did one bad thang that everything they have ever done was also bad

[@ledzeppelin4892000]

I instantly hated the guy, I'm glad it's now justified.

[@keanusao1958]

@@anguskeenan4932 where to begin. Im confused, did you comment while only reading a single instance of his discriminatory behavior? Not only have many people who have worked here commented on many separate instances in which they were discriminated against. Nobody is scrutinizing his character off of one instance, it's the many detailed accounts given by many different employees. Even if it was one thing that came to light, we should be "smarter" than that and know that if hes done it once hes probably done it multiple times, which he has. Discrimination takes many forms, I'm glad people are taking it upon themselves to try and recognize it.

[@veronikavartanova4044]

I'm from a country where kvas is not only mass-produced (in a variety of ways and flavours), but is being often made at home, especially in summers -- but I've never seen or heard of beets-based kvas :) Here it's often made with rye bread and/or grains, sweetened with honey, dried fruit and sugar. Its taste can vary a lot, but most common kinds that you can buy in a store would be carbonated, dark-colored beverages, close in look and taste to dark fragrant beer (but with almost no alcohol in it and noticeably sweeter). Very refreshing, and loved by adults and children alike.

I am Polish and have been growing up with kvass :) As you've noticed - less salt. Also, add fresh, crushed garlic (depending on taste, I love garlic and I add ~5-8 cloves), 3-4 bay leaves, 5-10 allspice berries, a handful of peppercorns, and you can toss some marjoram, but it can be a pain to scoop later on. These are for ~5 litres of water.

My mother made kvass all the time. One and a half tablespoons of salt and one and a half pound of beets, preferably golden, to a 1 gallon jar... ....although that might have been an Imperial gallon, which is about 750 ml larger than a US gallon... with cubed ginger, whole peppercorns, and (if she could swing it) either lemon, pineapple, or orange. (These were fairly pricy imports and not always available in beet season on the Canadian prairies. Even now lemons can be stupid expensive here; back then they weren’t even available most of the year.)

Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.

[@colink3265]

I honestly think this may be one of the best It's Alive episodes ever made. The editing is pure brilliance.

[@rikkimontero]

There is no one like Brad he’s so naturally fricken comical. Any time I need a quick laugh or smile I see him out. He’s pleasure and joy to watch

[@zelenoye]

i'm russian and i've never seen kvas with beets))) ever)) it's made with bread, sometimes my babushka added any kind of jam for flavor, but it's not traditional. kvas tipically tastes a bit like beer, but less bitter and more sour homemade / more sweet storebought. I love kvas, it's super refreshing in summer

[@metheemt]

Марианна Субботина I’m half Ukrainian half Belorussian and have also never heard of beet kvas, in either culture. Kvas is always made with bread.

[@Mokoshhy]

This kvass is used for barshch soup we made it in Poland for it not realy drinking but well you can ;3

[@emg508]

Марианна Субботина im Ukrainian and I’ve seen kvas like that neither :) that’s some American rip off version of polish borscht

[@nicksande6880]

Curious: where in russia do you live? Because my grandmothers ancestors came from eastern europe (i dont know where exactly though, only that they speak russian there) and she made that in the past, since their family went to live in germany around the 1900s i never bothered to learn where we came from xD and since my mother didnt learn russian fluently i never learned it either so cant exactly find out via diarys and such

[@francescasheynis4954]

Марианна Субботина my family is from Ukraine, and we normally have the kvas made of bread. We have been buying it lately and it is bitter and sweet. All of the extra flavors he added were not even close to traditional . He might have been making like a wierd spin off on borscht but we don’t add any sumac or stuff like that. So I’m kind of confused on how he made this recipe up.

[@santiagodelagarza2849]

My mom walks by while I'm watching this episode and says: "Oh cool! A beet bever... Is he playing a guitar in the kitchen?"

Welp.... Looks like Rapo won't be hurting anyone else's feelings in the Test Kitchen anymore... 👋🏿👋🏿👋🏿

[@adrianpink8144]

Yuppp! Good riddance!

[@RushinGerm]

Why is he gone though? I'm curious

[@SankofaNYC]

@@RushinGerm google it

[@CraigBickerstaff]

@@RushinGerm When he was a young fellow he went to a party dressed as a "Puerto Rican" and there is also a pay dispute and all of this came out because some blogger got their recipe pitch rejected.
