he main dishes of the simple form of cookery from "Great Mother Russia" were subsequently adopted by the aristocracy for sumptuous banquets in Imperial Russia to accompany various types of iced caviar served in large crystal goblets and dishes of pink Baltic salmon. Imported to France during the Russian Revolution by the aristocracy in exile in Paris, blinis spread throughout Europe.
