FOOD OF THE

TSARS

Caviar is one of the most famous foods in history. It is the salted eggs of sturgeon, a fish which lives in the Black and Caspian Seas. Russia, more than any other country, is known for its high quality caviar.

The Russians didn't eat it because they didn't like its taste until Catherine the Great served it at a dinner in 1778. From then on, it was the favourite food of various Russian Tsars and they often call it 'food of the Tsars'. They were the main consumers of caviar and fishermen sent them the best of their produce. Each year, Nicholas II (1868-1918) received around 11 tons of caviar from his fishermen.

Nowadays, although quite expensive, people all over the world serve it at holiday feasts and special occasions.
