Which dishes did Czarina Elizabeth of Russia only eat

According to chapter 14 of American historian Robert Massie's book "The Road to Power: Ekaterina the Great," Tsarina Elizabeth only liked to try a few Russian peasant dishes: olive soup, oatcakes, cured meats and onions.

The Russian state dinner includes beet soup, fresh fish salad, shu caviar, Russian meat jelly, demi-glace, Russian dumplings, caramelized apple ice cream, chocolate cake, blinis, and wine. Blinis, also known as Blini pancakes, are traditional Russian pancakes with different flavors and shapes. They are the seasonal food for the traditional Russian festival of Thanksgiving and one of the classic Russian dishes.

The pancake is a combination of French and Chinese pancakes, the Russian pancake is a batter made of flour, milk, cream, sugar or salt cooked in an iron skillet, the savory pancakes are served with heavy salmon or caviar, while the sweet pancakes are smeared with jam and condensed milk.

Political initiatives:

Elizabeth's reign continued the policies of her father, Peter I, and restored the systems and institutions that Peter I had established. She changed the situation in which foreigners held the government and promoted talented and persevering representatives of the Russian nobility to the positions of running the country. Elizabeth's domestic policy gave the nobility a dominant role in local government and at the same time shortened the period of their service to the state.

On the other hand, the Elizabethan era saw the strengthening of the Russian monarchy. Crowns and purple robes were no longer conferred by the highest clergy as in the past, but received by the monarch herself. At the beginning of Elizabeth's reign, a strong legal basis to maintain the order of rule was not emphasized.
