There is an opinion that this snack was invented by Nikolai I. And in honor of him it is called Nikolashka.

And I am 20, in America. There she is called "nikolashka" for some reason. While writing, Skok has already commented.

O-oooh! This is what I separately adore !!!!
Try everything, get an unforgettable taste experience. I was also told about the king when I was first taught to eat. For this "nikolashka" and a glass of brandy to drink is not a sin.
Melisa72ru , thanks for showing everyone! I think that there will be immeasurably more supporters of this "king"
Melisa72ru
Everything is possible, I do not pretend to be authorship)))
We had a snack and we will have a snack

Alternatively, sprinkled lemon with grated cheese

Rather, when I recognized her, at that time we did not have the Internet either at home or at work, and there were no computers, so who came up with and were not interested, they had a snack and that's all

So, but I did not understand, you, Melisa Viktorovnawhy not at work? Does she eat? In the midst of a working day then? Yes, and "nikolashka"? What a holiday, but I don't know? At least congratulations or what? Inject!
And the appetizer is excellent. I don't need to sprinkle with anything, and so I can lemons devour eat even without a drink.
Skok
I also learned about this snack 12 years ago. Then she worked in a culinary school, where they told about the appetizer and about the name and about the author.

I'm,Ksyusha-PlushaNikolashkoy now underestimate the pressure
I got sick ... my back aches, my tail falls off ... I lie down, I am in pain, I feel sorry for myself .. and I raise my tone by Nikolasha
Ksyushk @ -Plushk @
Well e-mayo !!!! Come on, get well and no more pain! Turn off the car, take your glasses off your nose, put yourself on cats and beanies, at least for an hour. After "nikolashka" it is useful!

Meliska, what an interesting idea, when on TV of such a plan a snack under cognac was called snacks, I don't know if this is correct? Every time I forget to serve this, but my daughter-in-law, my brother's wife, makes sure to do it and sprinkle half a lemon slice with chopped walnuts, as the second option.

I recommend trying a lemon for a snack, sprinkle with salt, not sugar. Everyone who was treated liked it.

Indeed, there is a legend according to which Nicholas I invented to eat cognac with lemon, when he tasted it for the first time, the drink seemed too strong to him, and he had a plate of sugared lemon at hand, and he had a snack ... eat lemon ...

Vilapo Lena,chaki2005 Tanya,Crochet Inna,Gaby Vika,
thanks for the comments and advice
Safely destroyed in one person the whole snack without brandy because I am sick
As a result: and cheered up, and received vitamin C, and the mood rose
They did it with cheese and salt, but I liked the option with coffee and sugar.

I don't know about Nikolai ||, but the warriors knew exactly what they were doing. Lemon with sugar is good, and coffee (Beans, ground) repels the smell of alcohol. A very useful snack in some way. Well, the French sandwich is good with and without alcohol.

Melisa, get well. Thanks for the recipe. Look how the people came together

thanks, Natalia
yeah, the people perked up, cheered up, but let them try the same, looking for their lemon with something
Ahh, about the warrior, I'll tell you a case now:
I worked, oh, I served, it appears, in one civil service, and at that time in 1995-1997 we were given tickets to the theater, for various concerts at the expense of the trade union, they cultivated ...
The Viktyuk theater came to us, a wonderful miracle for us, a marvelous miracle ...
I remember that Efim Shifrin also played there ..
The first part of the people went, let's say, on Wednesday, the performance went with an intermission ... So our warriorsHaving looked at the first part of Viktyuk's creation, they became depressed, upset from a misunderstanding of the great and went together to the buffet.
To understand the topic, we took cognac with a snack and happily sat through the entire second section in the buffet.
And we were told who had not yet gone, yes a wonderful performance !! Especially the intermission was a success!
When on the trail. day went the second part of the people-the performance went without intermission !!!

Vilapo, thanks Lena!

Melissa, you get well! And thank you for the wonderful recipe and story about how the soldiers went to Viktyuk.

I will allow myself some clarifications:
This appetizer was introduced into everyday life by Tsar Nicholas II, and he used it not with cognac, but with vodka, which he respected very much, which served, with the suggestion of the opposition, the reason to assign him not only the title "Bloody" for "Bloody Sunday", but also to name "in his honor" a snack invented by him, allegedly a bitter drunkard.
In the classic (tsarist-author's) version, a whole circle of lemon, not his half. Next, a table knife was placed on the circle with an edge, and on one side of the knife, the surface of the lemon fell icing sugar, and not granulated sugar, but on the other - freshly ground coffee (do not try to use instant coffee).
However, the main feature of this snack was not only in its ingredients and cooking technology, but also in strict adherence to the drinking and snacking methods.
Was done full a sip of cold vodka from a glass. The vodka lingered in the mouth for a second... Swallowed. Then into the mouth carefully put lemon with powdered sugar and ground coffee (no matter which side to you). Gently crushed by teeth.
And here a person felt a real pleasure from the enveloping, slowly spreading in the mouth and teasing the taste buds of the aroma and taste of coffee, coupled with the delicate sweetness of powdered sugar and the refreshing sourness of lemon, shaded with the bitterness of lemon peel that perfectly harmonizes with the vodka taste.
So that's it!

A GOOD (!!!) vodka is the only way to drink under any get sick a snack, for example, under a herring.

Melisa72rubut it's nice to remember the old days
And yet ... Tsar used Nikolashka with cognac, because the smell of coffee beat off the smell of alcohol. And cognac, as we all know, has historically been bottled not only in ordinary bottles, but also in flat "hunting flasks", which were convenient to carry in the bootleg. Our tsar, father, always had it with him. And, by the way, Massandra wines are collectible, leftovers from elite barrels, they were also poured into such bottles until recently, and the lid was a glass. Precisely so that you can take with you "in boots" on horseback riding, hunting, picnic with ladies.
True, now I saw vodka in such bottles - cheap. But this is a remake, which has nothing to do with the historical truth.
And thanks for reminding me. It will come in handy during the holidays, with the frost, with a partying when we come, quickly and tasty to warm up.
Melisa72ru
Ira, and we will use both cognac and vodka)))
I pour into grandmother's decanters, I really like it. cozy at home and as a memory of grandparents, big family feasts ..
