On the other hand, this is a dandy and amorous Don Juan.

Please the Rooster: what should be and what should not be on the table

Here's a beautifully baked leg of lamb or red fish, rabbit in sour cream, beef, veal, pork dishes - great choice and a balm for the soul of the owner of the year. Meat cuts from sausages and smoked meats, according to Rooster, not a very natural product. But, if you serve them in the form of canapes with pieces of grain bread, it is quite possible to please the owner.

A cockerel would peck at grains, but bright, beautiful ones. Sandwiches with red caviar immediately come to mind. The dish is decent, but slightly fed up, and it does not have to be on the table at all. Offer the virtual guest an adequate and more familiar replacement. Put a small vase with millet, millet or sprouted grains and a "bouquet" of greenery.

Chicken eggs are controversial. As an option, do without, but the taste of salads can suffer greatly and undermine your image of a skilled hostess. Just do not use them impudently, for decoration, but otherwise - why not?

If you have big plans for the Year of the Rooster, and it is simply necessary to enlist the support of the patron, give up traditional salads altogether (or leave a couple) and arrange an impromptu garden on the New Year's table. Arrange on large plates a variety of vegetable slices and generously season them with herbs.

Sweet berries and fruits are another favorite delicacy of birds. They can be served in a large vase or in several small ones, laid out arbitrarily on the table, under the tree, in other places, decorate desserts. Make original fruit salad. Both the Rooster and the children will be delighted with this delicacy.

New Year without champagne, like Santa Claus without gifts. And the light, seething contents of the bottle resemble the character of an invisible guest. What else should be on the New Year's table of drinks is up to you. Give them no in the usual way but in the form of cocktails. Firstly, it is tasty and beautiful, and secondly, “cocktail” literally translates as “cock's tail”.

The rooster in Chinese mythology is a sign that is characterized by insight, organization, pedantry, responsibility, vigilance and exactingness. One of the most characteristic features Rooster is his conservatism and love of order. Therefore, in the year of the Fire Rooster, one should not expect revolutionary breakthroughs or global transformations. The Rooster will try to put things in order where the restless Monkey, the hostess of the previous year, made a mess.

For all its virtues, the Fire Rooster can be arrogant and arrogant, stubborn, picky, conceited and has a penchant for bravado. Therefore, the year 2017 of the Fire Rooster can be very successful for ambitious show projects and successful undertakings in the entertainment industry.
