In Russia, soldiers' and peasants' meals were monotonous, usually consisting of a handful of millet flour, a little pork or salted fish, accompanied with beetroot, cabbage, swede and turnip.
The diet of Russian sovereigns and nobles was much more varied. Roasted swan and crane, bears paws, haunch of reindeer and salted cucumbers were amongst the food served at Russian banquets.
Much food had a sour flavor; for instance dark brown rye breads were made with sour yeast doughs and pickles were often used.
