It'll end long before that, Pal. In fact, it's never gonna get off the
ground. Fermented beets sounds as disgusting as anything I've run into
lately. You prevert!

They are made largerly the same way your mother used to make beet kvas
(fermented beet juice) for your beloved borscht, to which you are still
addicted. Fermented beets are your future! You may have achieved the
pinnacle of your Order's hierarchy by creating Barb's Beety Beauty and
becoming Mother Superior, but you still have an eternal obligation for
furthering your spiritual development. This does not mean experimenting
with booze; it means fermenting beets! It is your calling and your next
step in achieving spiritual perfection through grace of the Holy
Beetroot.
