@kayb In Chekhov's "A Boring Story"  a much respected professor who has gained both rank and renown and is now addressed as Excellency is reflecting on how his life has changed over the years and among the things he regrets are that at the dinner table he no longer gets to have what he likes such as  cabbage soup, meat pies, goose with  apple sauce, and bream stuffed with buckwheat. Instead he gets things such as pureed soups with "icicles" floating in it or kidneys in Madeira sauce.
