Guryev porridge

Guryev porridge[a] (Russian: Гурьевская каша, romanized: Guryevskaya kasha) is a Russian sweet porridge (kasha) prepared from semolina and milk with the addition of candied nuts (hazelnut, walnuts, almonds), honey and dried fruits (or fruit preserves).

[2] It has been stated that Guryev porridge was invented by Zakhar Kuzmin, a serf chef of the retired major of the Orenburg dragoon regiment Georgy Jurisovsky, who was visited by Guryev.

Subsequently, Guryev bought Kuzmin with his family and made him a regular chef in his court.

[2] Prior to the October 17, 1888 train crash that Alexander III was on, the emperor was served this dish for dessert.
