At the Russian state banquet, although the dishes were rich and luxurious, czar Elizabeth only preferred some simple Russian farm dishes, such as olive soup, oatmeal cakes, bacon and onions. Oatmeal cake is a symbol of crop quality and harvest, while cured meat may represent the simplicity of farm life. These dishes not only reflect the traditional Russian food culture, but also reflect the life attitude and taste of the Queen. Olive soup is a thick soup made of olives and various spices, while oatmeal cake is a pancake made of oatmeal powder.

Cured meat, on the other hand, is pickled meat food, which was considered as a relatively simple and plain dish at that time, which was different from the delicacies that Russian nobles liked.
