The appearance of pies
The name "pie" comes from the old Rus word "feast", so it is logical that during the feast there were a lot of pies on the holiday tables. The first mention of them was found in the diary of A. Olearius. From his notes, you can make some ideas about them. Adam wrote that every family, if they hosted a guest dear to them, baked cakes.
One of the main ritual dishes of Rus was pies. This is especially true for family holidays.

Baking can also be called an unusual ritual. Almost always, cakes were baked in ovens. Top greased with egg yolk, which gave the cakes an extraordinary blush. In order for the pies to be tasty, the dough was well kneaded and left to come up three times. This was the main secret of delicious, loose cakes with a golden crust. Also important was the amount of filling in the pies. If people came to visit and treat them to cakes with lots of toppings, this meant that they were welcome in this house. Favorite filling in Russia was potatoes, and meat. However, not all families could afford meat pies. If pies with this filler were on someone's table, then this family was considered wealthy.
