Always impressive, but not always tasty.
Legends were made about royal feasts in Rus’. Just look at the scene about overseas caviar in Ivan Vasilievich. The film fragment is not far from the truth. True, slightly embellished. Historians are inclined to believe that eggplants were brought to Russia only in the 17th century from Iran.
So Ivan Vasilyevich Bunsha could not taste such a delicacy during the time of Ivan the Terrible. But the scene, of course, did not become any less funny because of some historical inaccuracy.
What did they eat at real royal feasts?
Nothing special. Well, if only roasted lynx on a spit. Moreover, one side was boiled, and the other was fried and stuffed with poultry and vegetables. And 10 people at a time carried it into the hall – the food turned out to be heavy. And not only in a figurative sense.
The description of some dishes will make even the most avid gourmets lose their appetite. One good thing is that the recipes for these dishes have long been lost. For example, they served a goose baked in leeches, or a lamb’s head with all its entrails, and also pig tails.
