As mentioned in Chapter 14 of The Road to Power: Catherine the Great by American historian Robert Marcy, Queen Elizabeth only likes to try some Russian farm dishes, such as olive soup, oatmeal cake, bacon and onions.
Olive soup is a traditional soup with olive as the main ingredient, which is delicious and rich in taste. The unique taste and delicious taste of olive soup come from the sweet and sour characteristics of olive itself and its collocation with other ingredients.
Oatmeal cake is a dessert. The main ingredients are low-gluten flour and oats, and the auxiliary materials are walnuts, almonds, cranberries (dried fruits), salt-free cream and sugar.
Oatmeal cake tastes sweet. Bacon is a popular food, generally salted, with clean appearance, neat knife work, strong muscles, no mucus on the surface, bright red section and slightly yellow fat. It has the inherent taste of bacon.
When czar Elizabeth was young:
Catherine II was born into a declining aristocratic family in Stiding, Prussia. Her father, Prince Christian Augustus, was a general of the Prussian army and a member of the German anhalt royal family. He was made a duke, ruling anhalt-Dornburg and anhalt-Zebster successively.
42-year-old (1727) married Princess Joanna of Holstein-Gotopp, age 15. 1729 April 2 1 At 2: 30 in the morning, johanna gave birth to a baby girl named Sophia Augusta frederica, later known as Catherine II.
Sophia's father served in the army, was conscientious and didn't care much about her family, so she grew up under the control of her mother. But her mother is mean and critical, impatient and difficult to get along with others. She lives in Paris all the year round, so Sophia is not restricted by her parents since she was a child. When no one cares about her, she will go to the street to find children of the same age to play.
Sophia was cheerful, lively and active, even a little naughty, courageous and often in trouble. Influenced by French enlightenment thinkers, young Sophia often wrote letters to Montesquieu and kept in touch with each other.
