The culinary art of the Tatar people is rich in its national and cultural traditions, going back centuries. In the course of centuries-old history there was an original national cuisine, which has preserved its original features to the present day. Volga Tatars, as is known, originated from Turkic-speaking tribes (Bulgars, etc.), which settled on the territory of the Middle Volga and Lower Kama region long before the Mongol invasion. At the end of IX – beginning of X centuries there was formed an early feudal state called Volga Bulgaria.
