Borscht (in English, we spell this with a 't' for some unknown reason)

Today my friend is coming, so I cooked a beet-root soup called borscht. Almost everyone considers it's a traditional Russian meal but actually it's Ukrainian.There are a lot of different recipes of borscht, but I prefer it with chicken. I like cooking, but now my kitchen is a bloody mess)) Which cuisine do you prefer and why?

**Nationalities like Russian and Ukrainian are proper nouns and always capitalized in English. 
**For some reason, we spell "borsch" with a 't' in English. I was very surprised to learn it doesn't end in a T-sound in Russian: )
