The Black Water Dragon is ready to soon hand over the reins of power into the hands of a no less dangerous and aggressive fellow - the Black Snake. And our task is to appease the symbol of the upcoming 2013 at the festive table. Yes, and you want to please yourself on such an unusual day, so all dishes served on the table should be thematic, original and unconventional.
In today's article on the shop-ultra.ru website, we will talk about what can be prepared for the upcoming 2013.
The first and most important rule is to create a festive menu, taking into account the preferences of the patroness of the next 12 months. Now think about it (or refer to textbooks on zoology) and find out what snakes eat in their natural environment.
Here's what we were able to find out. Snakes are predatory reptiles, they do not eat plant foods, they prey on other animals, birds, other reptiles, amphibians, and occasionally insects and fish. Their diet is very rich, they eat everything that can be found in wildlife, while size practically does not matter. Both a tiny rabbit and an antelope can become their prey. Snakes are very greedy for eggs and milk.
Now, taking into account the information received, we make a list of dishes on the festive table. Scroll through your favorite recipes and choose the ones your Snake will love.
These can be appetizers, salads that include eggs, or a salad that can be put on a snake-shaped plate. In general, it can be any salad, the main thing is to give it the desired shape and decorate it in an original way.
We offer you a selection of 16 photos of salads in the form of a snake, found on the Internet. The snake's body can be covered with olives, green peas, corn, or thinly sliced gherkins can be scaled. Make eyes from olives or cherry tomatoes, carrots, peppers or tomatoes, cut into strips, can become the tongue. From products (tomatoes, carrots) you can also make a crown for the Snake.
Even an ordinary cut of vegetables, meat and cheese can be presented in an unusual perspective.
You can also serve stuffed eggs or Capercaillie's Nest (I think it's easy to find the recipe on Google). Any sandwiches you serve to guests can be garnished with a round of hard-boiled egg. These dishes will definitely please the Snake.
The main treat of the evening, of course, should be a hare or a rabbit - the Snake's favorite delicacy. There is already room for your imagination to unfold! You can cook stuffed rabbit or bake it in a delicate creamy sauce, you can make a stew or stew it with vegetables. Meat can also be made into rolls or meatballs.
The Snake will not refuse from birds and fish. Turkey meat, quail, hazel grouse, pike will be very appropriate. But it is not recommended to put pork and beef on the table that night. Unless a suckling pig will please the snake's "belly".
Among alcoholic drinks, give preference to good, high-quality wines and cognac. Champagne (where without it!) should also be the best.
Now for the sweet. When preparing holiday desserts, be sure to use milk, which Snakes simply adore. You can treat yourself and your guests to ice cream or milkshakes.
Observing these simple rules, you will perfectly meet the New Year and will definitely become the favorites of the Black Snake.
