It is known that the Yellow Earth Pig will be the patron of 2019. And in order to have good luck in the coming year, it is necessary to "appease" the pig. No, worshiping her, of course, is unnecessary, but decorating the house, dressing up in the appropriate outfit and preparing certain dishes for the festive table will not hurt.
The question of what to cook for the New Year's table is asked by many housewives on the eve of the holiday. And since the coming year is the year of the pig, this issue is doubly relevant. The fact is that pork is the cheapest meat product (after chicken), and since the country's population is far from rich, it is in particular demand.
If possible, then it is better to refuse to cook dishes with pork for the New Year's festive table. What to replace? There are plenty of variations: chicken (or any other bird), beef, rabbit and so on. Well, if you don't want to give up your favorite pork dishes, then you need to cook and serve the meat in a certain way.
If the pork is baked in a whole piece, then the dish should be served with yellow, green and orange vegetables. For example, meat can be sliced and placed on a large flat plate, and beautifully chopped yellow peppers and tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans, young carrots and other useful goodies can be laid out around it.
In addition, if you decide to make pork as the main dish, then all other dishes on the table should be pork or not contain meat at all. The fact is that the patroness of the year may not like such a "neighborhood", and the whole next year you will be in trouble.
It is also worth noting that if pork is being prepared for the New Year 2019, then in this case there should be a lot of all kinds of salads and snacks on the table. It is worth giving up a large amount of one type of salad in favor of three or four types of portioned dishes.
From all of the above, we can conclude that it is possible to cook and eat pork on the New Year of the Pig, but so that the patroness of the year does not let her anger on you, be sure to prepare for the holiday accordingly: correctly set the table, decorate the room in a certain color scheme and dress in a suitable outfit.
