Neither Alix nor Nicholas describe in their last diary entries their last meal, or any of the meals that day in any detail. Alix makes a reference to food only in that eggs had been brought for the Tsarevitch, and writes simply the word "supper" which took place at 8 o' clock in the evening. However, in other July entries she describes some of the food taken at their meals, lunch there was sometimes meat that was brought late (July 11th), and there is also a reference to soup on the same day. At the House, in the earlier months, Alix also noted "excellent bread" (June 18th), and "macaroni tart" (June 20th).
I don't think there was much variety in meals. In her diary Alix sometimes mentioned supper was like lunch, maybe leftovers.
Sednyov occasionally prepared vermicelli for Alix as she was ill. The rest of the family sometimes had cutlets.
I'm not sure, I thought the first weeks the meals were not cooked at the house but brought in. Later a kitchen was set up and Kharitonov cooked the meals .
Macaroons:a soft, chewy cookie made of sugar, egg whites, and ground almonds or coconut.
