After all, it’s so easy to just take and offer your household familiar snacks, so why recreate the bicycle? The thing is that each symbol of the year requires different dishes from us. The menu that was appropriate for New Year's Eve 2020 will definitely not be to the liking of the fiery rooster. His character is different from that of monkeys.
This important, sedate bird will not ask you for overseas curiosities. She doesn't need gilding, she won't appreciate silverware. But wooden cutlery would be appropriate. Be sure to put on the table a few spoons, skillfully painted by masters. Manual labor will definitely be appreciated by poultry. Complete the spoons with clay bowls. Place a small figurine of a hen or chick in the center. You can use earthenware souvenirs, but wooden figurines are more appropriate.
The tablecloth will also play its role. If it is not possible to purchase a product with embroidered roosters and hens, give preference to items made from natural fabrics. For example, cotton or linen. The symbol of the year is accustomed to everything natural, and therefore synthetics and their analogues should be avoided if you want to enlist the support of a proud bird.
If the situation with the decor is more or less clear, then the interesting menu for the New Year 2020 is perplexing. What should be prepared new and interesting for the table? Remember the habits and habits of the symbol of the year. This measure will help clarify the situation.
How to properly create a menu for the New Year 2020: what should be prepared, what new and interesting dishes should be included?
The rooster is not an exotic bird. It does not require sacrifices or large financial expenditures. Therefore, you should not take overly complex dishes from rare ingredients. Do not focus on the monetary component and do not try to surprise anyone with outlandish products. In this case, simplicity is the key to success.
Give preference to affordable and familiar vegetables. Remember that the symbol of the year loves everything red, bright and catchy. In this regard, tomatoes are what you need. Be sure to include them in the inexpensive menu for the New Year 2020, prepare salads from them according to a new recipe, and decorate hot dishes with them in an interesting way.
Don't forget to put a saucer with cereal on the table. This is a tribute to the rooster. If you think that such an element is inappropriate, just bake rice cakes. The bird loves flour. Therefore, use crackers to decorate dishes.
Avoid processed foods. Don't buy something you can cook yourself. Do not buy ready-made cake layers. Better bake them. A responsible housewife, capable of pleasing herself and her loved ones with home-cooked food, will come to court on New Year's Eve, illuminated by the glow of a fiery rooster.
New Year's menu 2020: what you can cook new and interesting, how to make a plan
Take note of the following plan:
- salads;
- soft drinks;
- snacks;
- hot dishes of fish, seafood and meat;
- Dessert;
- alcohol;
- vegetable slices;
- meat cuts.
If some symbols do not tolerate alcohol, then the rooster is much more tolerant in this regard. Wheat vodka will appeal to poultry. Real grape wine would also be appropriate. Beer made from natural, selected ingredients can take pride of place. But alcohol, which is based on chemistry - ready-made cocktails - is better to be kept away.

Mount Fuji
This is a meat casserole that is shaped like a cone. Some housewives take risks and create the illusion of a volcanic eruption using shells doused with alcohol. We will present a safer option, which looks appetizing even without unnecessary “special effects”.
Ingredients:
- 1 kg of potatoes;
- 1 kg minced meat;
- mayonnaise;
- 1.3 kg pork tenderloin;
- 2 cloves of garlic;
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon;
- 9 teaspoons olive oil;
- 0.25 teaspoon of cloves;
- 4 medium-sized onions;
- 120-130 ml red wine;
- 6 teaspoons of tomato paste;
- 3 teaspoons vinegar essence.
Cooking is divided into 2 stages. First you will need to prepare the volcano itself, and then its lava, which has collected at the foot.
For the volcano you will need minced meat and potatoes. Boil and grate the tubers on a fine grater. Add salt and spices to the puree and minced meat. However, you should not mix minced meat with puree. They must be prepared separately from each other.
Once the minced meat and potatoes are finished, take out the baking sheet and grease it with oil. Place the first layer of minced meat. Then add a layer of potatoes. Then there is another layer of minced meat. Make sure that each subsequent layer is smaller and thinner than the previous one. Finally, shape the dish into a cone and place in the oven for 40 minutes. Bake should be at 200 degrees.
Take out the finished dish and draw streams of mayonnaise on it. Particular attention should be paid to the crater. You can mix mayonnaise with beet juice. Then start preparing the lava.
Score the tenderloin. Mix the seasonings and place the mixture into the cut. Place the meat in a cool place for an hour. Once it has steeped, fry it in olive oil. Do not use a frying pan when doing this. A shallow pan made of durable material, which during cooking ensures even distribution of heat over the entire bottom area, is better suited.
After the meat is fried, remove it. Set aside and fry medium-sized onion rings in the same pan. As soon as it becomes clear that the vegetable is ready, reduce the heat and add the previously fried meat and good red wine to the pan. Then dilute the tomato paste and pour it over the slices.
Simmer until the meat begins to “melt” in your mouth. As soon as this happens, decorate the foot of the volcano with pork.
