As everyone already knows, the upcoming 2019 will be held under the sign of the Yellow Earth Pig. And therefore, according to the already established tradition, we began to take this fact into account when preparing for the solemn day.

We are trying to find out better what to expect from the coming period. We read horoscopes, we try to figure out how the Symbol of the next 365 days can affect our lives. And of course, we are first of all preparing for the celebration, taking into account what the Master of the Year loves! To appease him, and to help him make the next segment of life successful for us in every way!

And for this we select for ourselves the appropriate festive attire. For friends and relatives, we purchase the necessary and beautiful gifts, and of course we set a beautiful festive table.

And there is not a single hostess or host who would not ask himself the question “What to cook for the festive table?” After all, this question is by no means rhetorical. All of us on December 30, 31 will put on aprons and settle down in our kitchen for a long time. After all, you need to have time to cook appetizers, and salads, and main dishes, and desserts.

And in order not to forget anything, and not to cook anything superfluous, you need to make a menu in advance. It will help you plan what you need to buy. What can be stored for a long time, purchase in advance, and perishable products buy the day before.

When compiling the menu for the Year of the Yellow Pig, some features must be taken into account. Let's look at the wishes for the holiday menu.

• Firstly, Pig is omnivorous, which means we will cook completely different and delicious dishes.
• secondly, Boar does not mind different types meat, and he will be happy with beef, lamb, chicken, fish and seafood. Do not forget that pork in any form is not served this evening.
• thirdly, the image of the Master of the Year in the design of dishes will be very useful.
• fourthly, the bright, colorful design of the dishes will please Piggy. Who will refuse when such a holiday is arranged in his honor.
• fifthly, dishes should be homemade, tasty and cooked with love. It is always more pleasant to deal with a domestic calm Boar than with a hungry furious boar.
• sixth, do not abuse strong drinks. And then by chance you can fall asleep at the table, burying your face in a salad. And then everyone will not be the best way to compare you with a Pig !!!

However, you can spend the outgoing year with dignity. To say thank you to the owner of the passed segment of life - to thank yellow dog for all the good things she has done for us. Therefore, you can spend it by making a small salad with her image.

Here are the main wishes for the menu. If you manage to comply with them, then it will be just great! The Boar and the Pig will not leave this unattended. They will understand that this respect and respect we render to them.

But the main question that worries all housewives, meeting this beloved holiday at home, in the family circle, what to serve to the table. Search for new holiday recipes It is a very exciting and exciting process. Of course, many do not cancel the traditional “Herring under a fur coat” and “Olivier” salad, but I always want to cook something unusual and new.
The year of the Red is coming Fire Rooster, so we immediately forget all the dishes where we use chicken products. Or, if possible, replace them with other meat. Even Olivier will be made with sausage, not chicken breasts.

In addition, it is easy and quick to cook, which is very important during the New Year's race. Yes, I almost forgot! In the recipe, I replaced 2 chicken eggs with quail eggs.
