czar Elizabeth eats olive soup, oatmeal cakes, bacon and onions.

in chapter 14 of Robert Marcy's book "The Road to Power: Catherine the Great", it is mentioned that at the state banquet, Queen Elizabeth I Petrovna only likes to try some farm dishes, such as olive soup, oatmeal cakes, bacon and onions, despite the rich and luxurious dishes.

Olive soup represents perseverance and tenacity, which means indomitable spirit in difficult times. Oatmeal cake is a symbol of crop quality and harvest, while cured meat represents the simplicity of farm life. These dishes not only reflect the traditional food culture, but also reflect the life attitude and taste of Queen Elizabeth I, and they also contain concern for the people.

Life of the characters

Elizabeth was loved by her parents in her early years, and experienced the rule of Catherine I, Peter Alekseyevich Romanov and Anna I. After Anna died and Ivan VI was in power for a short time, Elizabeth staged a coup in 1741 with the support of the military and seized the throne.

after she ascended the throne, she announced that she would inherit the tradition of Peter I, abolish the infamous cabinet, restore the Russian Senate, and concentrate her power. While abolishing the death penalty, Elizabeth's court kept the secret official hall to crack down on political opponents. She strongly supported the development of science, culture and education. During her reign, she built Moscow University, Winter Palace and other buildings and carried out a large number of construction projects.

In addition, under Elizabeth's rule, Russia launched wars against Sweden and Prussia, especially the seven-year war she fought with Austrian Archduke Maria Teresa and French King Louis XV. In 1762, Elizabeth died at the age of 52 before the end of the Seven Years' War.
