Experience The Appealing Russian History Through A Mouthwatering Dish

The Kotlety Pozharskie, or Pozharskie Cutlet, is a chicken cutlet covered in crunchy breadcrumbs, and stuffed with savory Russian herbs to add a unique relish. There are several tales explaining the origin of the name of this scrumptious Russian delicacy. Its name is said to have come from the last names of the Russian citizens who have invented the renowned dish. One unique legend tells about a Great Russian prince named Moskovsky, who visited a fellow prince named Pozharskie. When the palatable dinner was about to be served, Prince Pozharskie was informed by his cook that they ran out of veal cutlets, so the resourceful cook used chicken instead. Prince Moskovsky was enthralled with the delectable chicken cutlets so much, he named it after Pozharskie. In the end, the pompous Prince Pozharskie never admitted the truth, and he still liked veal cutlets. The true history of this delectable Russian dish may never be revealed, but its mysterious origins only add up to its renowned reputation as a favorite meal among locals and guests.

I was propitious enough to taste this delicious dish on a recent excursion to Russia . I positively liked the soft texture of the meat, and how the fillings complement each other's relish. The Russian café had an old-world charm to it, providing the perfect mood for a very historic meal.
