Pozharsky cutlets that Pushkin loved.
Many famous people, including Pushkin, stayed at the Pozharsky family's popular inn in Torzhok, and their cutlets were even included in the tsar's menu. Legend has it that the poet liked the sign he saw from the window, "Eugene Onegin — baker and tailor", and named his hero and his novel in verse that way.
In a letter to his friend Sobolevsky Pushkin wrote about cutlets:
"At your leisure, dine
At Pozharsky's in Torzhok,
"Taste the fried cutlets
(cutlets)
And go lightly."
