Russian feasts have always been known abroad, meals never stopped, and every now and then during feasts the tables were replenished with new foods and drinks. The luxurious presentation of dishes has always attracted the attention of foreign guests. Of course, it was a wonder for anyone to see how several servants on a tray carried out the carcass of a roasted wild boar or deer, or a sturgeon several meters long.

Peter I He was different from everyone else in his habit of waking up early in the morning and going to important matters before lunch. It is interesting that Peter did not like to dine at home, preferred to eat at a party and never refused any invitation. Before meals, he drank a glass of aniseed vodka, and before each serving of a new dish, kvass, beer or good red wine. For lunch I traditionally ate thick, hot cabbage soup, porridge, and jellies. The whole cold pig in sour cream was served, and the sovereign chose a piece for himself. There was always duck with pickles or lemons, ham and Limburg cheese on the table.

During the reign of the Great Empress Catherine the Great special attention was paid to the kitchen and buffet, which in those days were considered one of the most important luxury items. In St. Petersburg, cuisine switched to the French style, and only in old noble houses masters of traditional Russian cuisine remained, but French pates, Italian pasta, English roast beef and beefsteaks began to penetrate their “battlefields.” Cakes, mousses, jellies replaced traditional cheesecakes and bagels, kiwis, pineapples, mangoes and others appeared on the tables rare fruits. However, despite the luxury and abundance of court dishes, Catherine herself preferred ordinary boiled beef with pickled cucumber and sauerkraut. The empress’s little weakness was a sauce made from dried deer tongues, which she sometimes ordered to be prepared for her favorite dish.

Concerning Nicholas II, then his tastes in food were very simple. For breakfast, he preferred to drink tea with dried wheat bread or English biscuits, and everyone’s favorite cakes, pastries or sweets appeared on the table very rarely. He was very moderate in food, refused gourmet dishes, and never ordered the same dishes. He systematically controlled his weight, so he preferred healthy foods. Even during summer sailings on his favorite yachts “Standart” and “Polar Star”, he did not allow himself to relax. Roast and chicken are the emperor’s favorite dishes, and on the yacht “Standarte” he often ordered fried dumplings in a frying pan. After lunch, he sometimes ate one apple or pear, and then, as if finishing the dinner, smoked two cigars.

At the leader of the proletariat Vladimir Ilyich Lenin taste preferences for food were instilled in early childhood. His father came from the lower classes, so the cuisine conveyed Russian national traditions. The mother was born and raised in a Protestant family of Germans from the Volga region, where German traditions were revered. As a result, Russian-German home cooking runs in the family. Refusal of “heavy” and “coarse” dishes, and in return: milk soups, vegetable soups, cereal soups, and less often - Russian cabbage soup. They ate black bread only on weekdays for lunch; white bread was served with tea and dinner.

Even in exile, Lenin ate very tasty: fresh, fresh meat, fresh fish the best salmon varieties, forest game birds, vegetables and mushrooms, berries, honey, pickles and pickles. In the twenties, the Bolsheviks ate very modestly; they should have completely forgotten about meat. Lenin dined in a regular canteen, preferring thin soup, millet porridge and tea without sugar; there was no talk of any booze.

During the reign Joseph Vissarionovich The Kremlin kitchen was a real paradise for food lovers. The famous canteen was guarded by three checkpoints, and all food for Politburo members was prepared anonymously, that is, the cooks never knew who they were preparing the dish for. Orders, for security reasons, came to the kitchen under codes. The prepared dish was sent for testing to a whole council of doctors who checked the food for safety. And only after verification the order was sent either to the common room or to the customer’s home. Stalin always had the best culinary masters in his kitchen, although many of them did not serve him for long. Stalin was very fond of young lamb kebab, and the best kebab specialist in the country was found especially for him. But somehow the entire Central Committee went out into the countryside, and chief managers from all over the country gathered around the cook. And everything was going well until the cook took some white powder out of his pocket and began to sprinkle it on the meat. No one began to understand that it was a special powder made from herbs that give the finished kebab an extraordinary aroma and taste. The lamb was sent for tests, and the kebab-maker was shot.

Since coming to power Nikita Khrushchev Kremlin cuisine became closer to simple folk dishes. Borscht, dumplings, dumplings, and homemade okroshka began to appear on the tables; the Ukrainian “Vorilka with pepper” was especially popular.

Blood sausage, or as the people called blood sausage, pies with potatoes and cabbage, fish soup, pies and various porridges, this is only a small part of what Khrushchev could not refuse. One of Nikita Sergeevich’s favorite dishes was dumplings, he especially liked stuffed dumplings sauerkraut and onions, as well as with cottage cheese and sour cream, with potatoes, with cherries. However, a special place in his gastronomic preferences was given to hunting kulesh, which replaced both the first and the second.

And what didn’t happen at dinner receptions? Leonid Brezhnev: red fish, black and red caviar, mushrooms, salads, ham, crabs, sausages, greens, olives, rolls, loin, cheeses. Experienced people immediately piled full plates of the sumptuous dishes on offer - everything was swept off the tables instantly! Leonid Ilyich also often ordered Mechnikov’s curdled milk, which was served in a white porcelain glass with a gold rim under a paper lid tied with a ribbon. The Secretary General often visited Yugoslavia, and together with President Josip Broz Tito loved to hunt, and while doing this... to drink. Doctors forbade Leonid Ilyich to eat fatty foods, so they developed and approved dietary pilaf especially for him. It took an honorable place in the list of Brezhnev’s favorite dishes!

During the reign Gorbachev the country lived on coupons, and the party leaders tried not to stand out from common people. Mikhail Sergeevich’s personal doctor compiled a daily diet and urged Gorbachev to follow his recommendations. The menu hung in the dining room, but for security reasons no names were given. Gorbachev loved porridge, prepared according to an ancient Russian recipe in earthenware.

Concerning Yeltsin, then his order for “breakfast” was always the same: whiskey, ice and lemon. He was “unpretentious” when it came to food; he loved wild boar, sturgeon, salmon, and black caviar. He will order hare kidneys, then beef ears, or his favorite dish - elk lip. It was an ordinary jellied meat, for the preparation of which an entire elk had to be killed. Another of the president’s favorite dishes is deep-fried legs of young pigs and dumplings made from the freshest meat of several types: deer, wild boar, salmon. Well, Boris Nikolayevich, it’s true, had a picky taste!

Ex-wife Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin I once said that he is very picky about food. For example, he may refuse to eat if he doesn’t like the dish in some way, and even if he likes it, he will never admit it. Lyudmila Putina assured that Vladimir Vladimirovich adheres to two basic principles: “a woman should do all the housework” and “you cannot praise a woman so as not to spoil her.” In one interview, Putin admitted that he prefers national Russian cuisine, and especially loves vegetables: cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce. The President admitted that he does not have any special preferences in food; apart from vegetables, he likes porridge, cottage cheese, and honey. If there is a choice between fish and meat, he will definitely prefer fish, but as for meat, he is partial to lamb. You can’t call him a sweet tooth either; he’s indifferent to it, except for ice cream.

And Putin’s real passion is Spanish red wines! In the Kremlin, in his personal dining room, there is an entire wine cellar, in which a collection of his favorite drink is stored. “Veve” likes to drink a couple of glasses of vodka along with delicious pickled snacks, and ends the meal with cognac from Dagestan.

Dmitry Medvedev prefers European cuisine, and especially French. Fish and seafood are regular guests on his table, for example, lobster salad, but his favorite dish is stuffed pike. He also loves exotic dishes, sweet and salty. The ex-president takes care of himself and adheres to the principle: “Less fat, more separate meals,” so he eats a lot of vegetables, fruits and herbs.
