The royal pie was called the kurnik in Russia. It was baked mainly for large celebrations and festivities, for a wedding on the Trinity. At the wedding, the kurnik was baked of a "great" size. Two kurniks were made: one for the groom, one for the bride. The pie was broken over the heads of the newlyweds. Judging by the grains which fell out (by their quantity), whether wealth would be young or not was judged. The name presumably comes from the fact that hens were traditionally stuffed with chicken. The most popular was a pancake hen with chicken and mushrooms.
