What to serve in the Year of the Dog: what should be and what should not
When thinking about what to serve in the Year of the Dog, remember what this animal loves. The symbol of the year needs to be tasty and satisfying to feed in order to attract good luck and prosperity to the house.
The dog loves to eat a lot and tasty. But on the other hand, she is unpretentious in choosing food. Prepare simple and well-known treats for her, because she is wary of unfamiliar foods. And since she is also a friendly creature, consider the taste and wishes of all guests.
In order to decide what to serve in the Year of the Dog, remember what this animal loves.
The main dish of the festive table is meat. This can be beef, pork, poultry, or lamb. Prepare it in any way – boil, fry, bake, simmer, or add to salads. Serve hot, for example, beef steak or stewed ribs. The dog will be delighted with meat on the bone. You can roast goose or game with apples, or cook chicken wings over a fire. Potatoes will be the most suitable side dish.
Don’t cook too much, you need enough food to feed all the guests. Stick to the middle ground. It is enough to serve two main courses. For appetizers, prepare:
- cold cuts, rolls or sandwiches;
- aspic or aspic with tongue;
- liver tartlets or liver cake;
- classic Olivier salad or fresh vegetable salad;
- buns or pies with fillings.
Also, place homemade pickles and fruits on the table. Do not forget about the treats, bake an apple pie or a large cake, preferably yellow.
From drinks, give preference to natural fruit drink, juice or compote. The hostess of 2018 does not like drunk people, drink some champagne, wine or home-made beer for the mood.
The New Year’s table should be rich and simple.
What you shouldn’t feed the Yellow Dog
On New Year’s Eve, give up the following dishes and snacks, they clearly do not belong to food that is good for four-legged:
- overseas delicacies;
- complex and unusual salads;
- river fish with small bones, such as pike or carp;
- salad “Herring under a fur coat”;
- caviar, sushi or rolls;
- horse meat cutting;
- Korean cuisine;
- fast food, hot dogs.
Fish with small bones threatens the life and health of the Dog, and Korean cuisine evokes certain associations in her, because Koreans prepare many dishes from this animal. Strong alcohol is also not worth drinking on New Year’s Eve.
Prepare simple, tasty and aromatic dishes for the New Year’s banquet. The hostess of the year will appreciate it – she will bring peace and security to the house.
