Old hot vodka snack from professor Preobrazhensky

Old hot vodka snack from professor Preobrazhensky
Category: Cold meals and snacks
Ingredients
Pickled cucumbers as much as your heart desires
A little sunflower oil (for frying)
Wheat flour a small fraction (by the number and size of cucumbers)
Liquid honey or melted honey a couple of spoons (for coating)
Cooking method

Cut the pickled cucumbers lengthwise into neat quarters, roll in flour and fry in sunflower oil.
After that, quickly grease them with honey and serve them under ice cold vodka with grief-y-yach!
As the former dog, and then the citizen Sharikov Polygraph Poligrafovich, said:
"I wish everyone!"

The dish is designed for a bunch of drinks
Cooking time: while pouring white
Cooking program: cast iron fighting pan
National cuisine is purely Russian, pre-revolutionary
Note
It seems that it was with this dish that Professor Preobrazhensky told his assistant Dr. Bormental to eat vodka!
(c) M. A. Bulgakov "Heart of a Dog"

PS I didn't find the "Hot Starters" section - I put the recipe here, in the cold appetizers. Moderator

Strange, but it always seemed to me that Professor Preobrazhensky used fungi in sour cream for vodka. Maybe I didn't read it carefully?

I am also a kind of Professor Preobrazhensky.

Professor Preobrazhensky did not eat vodka with fried pickles at Bulgakov's!

Can't post movie clip

In the film by V.V.Bortko, Bulgakov's characters take out something with small spoons from cocotte makers. All over there should have been julienne or cockscombs, but not the "dark bread" described in the book: "... with these words he picked up something like a small dark bread on a silver forked fork." This directorial departure from the original later gave rise to countless controversies in culinary circles.

Interesting and very instructive

Peace be with you bakers!

Good marketing ploy.

What did the mythical professor Preobrazhensky eat vodka with - this secret is great! There are few options for hot appetizers left in our everyday life for this "tear of God". Let there be one more, even if the professor did not even suspect about it. And it's generally pointless to argue about the name, because, as our great William Shakespeare bequeathed:

What does name mean? A rose smells like a rose
Call it a rose, or not.
A cucumber by any name
Will remain that top of perfection
As it is !!!

You, gentlemen, try to cook the proposed snack and then you will definitely not regret the time and money spent on a minimum - as Arkady Raikin said: "The taste is spesfichsky!"

If you, Medusa, were not a man, I would think that you are pregnant! The taste is slightly perverted .....

There is no dispute about tastes, as you know ... Concerning pickles with honey - so for me personally, this is not news. My grandmother ate this in my childhood and I tried with her for a company. She said that she learned from her mother-in-law (it turns out, from my great-grandmother), and she was a cook in a rich Kuban house. Pre-revolutionary times.
And about frying and the literary past of the recipe - I'm out of topic here, as they say ...

My grandfather also ate pickles with honey!

Eh, on the eve of NG such a disappointment. I, too, was sure that I was eating julienne

In the film by V.V.Bortko, Bulgakov's characters take out something with small spoons from cocotte makers. All over there should have been julienne or cockscombs, but not the "dark bread" described in the book: "... with these words he picked up something like a small dark bread on a silver forked fork." This directorial departure from the original later gave rise to countless controversies in culinary circles.

A little further down the text of the novel we read: "And this is the first of the hot Moscow snacks. Once upon a time they were excellently prepared in the Slavyansky Bazaar."
I searched the Internet for the pre-revolutionary menu in the Slavyansky Bazar restaurant and found that the Tsar Mushrooms could easily have been taken out of vessels such as cocotte with small spoons. truffles, which, indeed, after appropriate cooking, resemble small dark breads or nodules.
On the professor's table, these expensive delicious mushrooms could also be present because they help increase male potency, and, as you know, prof. Preobrazhensky was just a specialist in the field of rejuvenating the human body and prolonging the period of sexual activity.
This is where the director V. V. Bortko really departed from the original, so this is in the choice of an actor for the role of Bormental - for Bulgakov this is a "handsome man with broad shoulders" rather resolute, tenacious and evasive, like many Moscow students of that time from the "simple".

And I just took it and did it !!! Well this is a miracle snack! Thank you so much for such a simple and incredibly delicious recipe! I just sprinkled a little red pepper on it - everyone is delighted!

The recipe seems interesting to me - I'll do it, with a cool cold Russian drink, but hot
I think that the cucumber should be very cold and fried very quickly so that its structure does not change inside and remains cold and only the top bread crust is hot

My grandfather also ate pickles with honey!

And it's really delicious. Worth trying.

I advise you to remove from the title of the topic of Professor Preobrazhensky, out of harm's way. Better to put Klim Chugunkin in there, with a balalaika - for fried cucumbers - that's it!

We went to Belarus. We were on excursions in Dudutki. There they have an excursion for adults about the history of moonshine brewing with tasting. And to the freshly distilled moonshine, they served black bread, poured with honey and pickled cucumber on top for a snack. For all the seemingly wild incompatibility of products, I can tell you the snack was sincere.
