Next year will be held under the leadership of the White Metal Rat. This is a very sensitive and intelligent animal, but with a difficult character. This animal is very fond of one more action - to eat. And in order to win the trust of this small rodent, so that the coming year is 100% successful, when thinking over the festive menu, you need to take into account the taste preferences of the Rat.
It is believed that this animal is omnivorous, but there are some nuances that need to be considered when preparing dishes.
What is the best to put on the New Year's table?
One of the advantages of the menu suitable for the Rat is that the dishes on the table should be varied - this is several hot dishes, and salads, various snacks from a variety of products. The second plus is that no frills are needed, because all dishes can be prepared from simple, non-exotic products, which will allow you to save a lot.
Porridge
Rats are very fond of cereals, so they must be on the table. Yes, it is difficult to imagine buckwheat or oatmeal in the New Year, but you can think over the menu and make something tasty and unusual for such a holiday.
For example, the Rat will be happy with pilaf, which will definitely include cereals, meat, spices, vegetables, which will appeal to the main symbol of 2020. And if you serve it beautifully, the New Year's table will definitely not be spoiled.
But even cereals can be used to make delicious side dishes: corn porridge with the addition of cheese and grated garlic, burgur with vegetables and cheese.
Tip: if you absolutely do not want to use porridge at all, pour some cereal into a small plate and place in the middle of the table.
Meat
The rat loves meat very much, so it should definitely be served at the table, and even in several versions. For the New Year 2020, you can bake whole chicken or goose, serve beef in sweet and sour sauce, make meatballs or turkey cutlets.
Salads
It is difficult to imagine a New Year's table without a salad, and the Rat treats such dishes very favorably. And it is advisable to give preference to dishes with a high fiber content in the composition.
Salads should be made from both vegetables and fruits, and the latter should preferably be served as a snack between main courses.
Such salads improve the digestion process, help reduce the likelihood of unwanted consequences of a feast with alcoholic beverages. The main thing is not to use mayonnaise as a dressing, especially high fat content - this will negatively affect both the condition and the figure.
It is better to choose natural yogurt, olive or linseed oil, lemon juice for dressing.
Snacks
Snacks must be on the table. The first thing you should serve is cheese slices, because the Rat loves this dish the most.
Additionally, there should be cold cuts (the main thing is to choose dietary and non-fatty foods), various pickles, vegetables.
desserts
Do you want a really lucky year? In this case, you must make sure that there are sweets on the table: cakes, pastries, gingerbread. And if you do something on your own, for example, cookies, bake it in the shape of mice - this will please both the guests and the main symbol of the coming year.
What is not advisable to cook on December 31, 2020?
Although the Rat is an omnivorous animal that loves a lot of foods, there is someone that is undesirable to cook and put on the table.
Useful advice: do not save on the "New Year's table", let the products be more expensive, but of better quality. And even if there are not so many dishes, the main thing is that they are prepared at the highest level.
Among those products that should definitely not be used:
- Any kind of cabbage, turnips and radishes. It is better not to add them to salads or prepare any dishes based on them, replacing them with pumpkin, zucchini, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.
- Semolina. Although the Rat loves wheat and cereals very much, it is better to refuse semolina. Therefore, it should not be used either as an ingredient in main dishes, or as a gift for this year's symbol.
When planning meat dishes, you should not choose fatty meats, such as pork or lamb. But if one of your guests loves them very much, choose lean parts such as a shoulder blade or tenderloin.
You should also be careful with cheese. It turns out that the Rats do not like too "odorous" types of cheeses: Brie, Roquefort and others.
Someone may not like the fact that this animal does not treat strong alcoholic drinks very well. Just swap out whiskey, cognac for lighter wines or cocktails.
