Snacks for vodka
Conventionally, an appetizer for vodka can be divided into 3 types:
Nutritious meals
Hot meat, fried fish are eaten first, their task is to remove an unpleasant aftertaste in the mouth and a burning sensation in the throat after drinking vodka.
enveloping dishes
Salads, soups, spicy sauces – it is better to try them when you are a little satiated. These snacks reinforce the taste sensations obtained in the previous stage, and they also slow down intoxication. Between taking nutritious and enveloping dishes, it is recommended to take a short break.
Washing dishes
Mushrooms, pickles, vegetable marinades – prepare the body for a new intake of vodka, refreshing the taste. Served last.
Fat
