The yellow earthen pig is the mistress of the coming year. According to the Eastern calendar, this animal is unpretentious in food, loves almost all foods and drinks, it is easy to please, but you still need to know something. What absolutely can not be put on the holiday table? Let's celebrate the New Year by all the rules!
What can not be fed a pig?
The first and main product that cannot be put on the festive table is pork. It is not only about meat, fat and bacon. We carefully study the composition of sausages, ham, purchased jellied meat and other ingredients that will be used to prepare salads, appetizers, hot dishes. The mistress of the year will be angry if they want to eat her. Without jelly in any way? We cook it from beef, chicken, you can make fish jellied or from beef tongue, to thicken we use ordinary gelatin.
The omnivorous pig does not like artificial products, prefers everything natural, that was minimally processed. Therefore, it is better to cook dishes at home and on their own. We carefully study the composition of the components.
What should not be in dishes, snacks:
- chips;
- purchased crackers;
- semi-finished products;
- fast food.
If the salad needs chips or crackers, then they are easy to make yourself. We use spices carefully and in a small amount, you do not need to drown out the natural taste of the products. With caution, add ready-made seasoning mixtures, their composition is far from ideal. It is advisable to replace the purchased mayonnaise with a home-made analogue. The sauce will delight the composition, while it is simply and easily prepared from the available ingredients.
By the way, the design of dishes is a very controversial moment. On the one hand, people try to appease the mumps, make jewelry in the form of an animal, stick pork ears and heels into salads. Edible decorations, on the other hand, are eaten. Would a totem animal take offense? This question is still considered open, so no one has come to a consensus.
Why not drink a yellow pig?
You can put absolutely any alcohol on the table, but try not to mix. We exclude harmful drinks with chemical dyes, flavor enhancers, a huge amount of sugar in the composition. The pig does not like this, we focus on naturalness. It is advisable to pour alcohol from bottles into decanters and jugs of glass, crystal, or at least remove labels from their dishes.
What can not be put on the table:
- Coca-Cola, Phantom and other soft drinks;
- ready-made cocktails for industrial production;
- power engineering;
- packaged juices, nectars.
Instead of all this, you can make a compote of fresh or frozen fruits, berries, make fruit drinks, uzvar, homemade cocktails and fresh juices.
Of alcoholic drinks, homemade wine, homemade tinctures, moonshine, and cognac are ideal for the festive table.
An excellent choice on a festive night will be mulled wine. Everything is possible, but not immediately. The expression "get drunk like a pig" has nothing to do with the symbol of the year.
Caution indigestion!
When meeting the year of the pig, you can (and even need) to eat hearty, tasty, but you should not turn a festive feast into a gluttony. It is important to remember about the compatibility of products, as well as the rule of alternation: after a piece of meat, poultry, mayonnaise salads, we make a layer of fresh vegetables. They will improve digestion, and plant fiber will help to remove heavy compounds from the body, cleanse the intestines. The next day, the digestive tract will say thanks!
What do not put on the "right" table:
- Fresh vegetables with fat dressings. There are usually many snacks and dishes without it. It is better to put vegetable slices without spices and sauces. In addition, fresh foods will retain their appearance longer.
- Milk, sour cream, cottage cheese. They can not be combined with meat, fish dishes and alcoholic beverages. The body will begin to rage the next day. The exception is cheese and desserts using dairy ingredients.
- Heavy side dishes. Fried potatoes or rice with fat dressings in combination with meat or fish - killing the body, stomach and body. It makes more sense to limit yourself to light vegetable side dishes, herbs.
It is also important to remember the norms of alcohol. If you want to meet the coming year and spend the whole night in sound mind, then we use no more than 100 ml of alcohol per hour. Periodically, you must get up, move.
What else will the New Year's pig not like
If the choice of dishes for the festive table does not raise the issue, the pig is omnivorous, then you need to pay special attention to the design and serving. Down with plastic, cheap glass, oilcloth and synthetic tablecloths. We use dishes made of wood, glass and clay without fanciful elements. On the table we cover a linen or cotton tablecloth. Pig loves luxury, golden or silver embroidery, sparkle candles are allowed.
What colors to exclude:
- blue;
- Violet;
- neon shades.
To design the table, we use colors close to nature: yellow, orange, brown, celestial, terracotta, brick and greenery. We choose muted shades, they are perfectly combined among themselves.
Do not put a vase of flowers on the table, it is better to appease the pig with fruits and vegetables.
If you want the year to bring prosperity to the house, then you can not do without a pot of grain. You can pour millet, corn, pearl barley, rice into it or mix several types of cereals. It is good if it is yellow.
What the eastern calendar says
We are preparing with awe for the meeting in 2019, we are trying to study all the nuances, eliminate forbidden products, choose the right outfit, but do not approach everything so meticulously. No need to cheat yourself and get upset for a randomly eaten piece of bacon or a drunk glass of Coca-Cola. It’s impossible to take everything into account.
According to the eastern calendar, the yellow earthen pig will take the reins of power into its hooves only on February 5, 2019. Until this moment, the yellow earthen dog continues to host. She loves a person, loyal to him, ready to forgive any oversights.
Let the festive night give only positive emotions!
