Do you want your party to be top notch? Then organize a finger food dinner. It is worth noting that finger food was not invented today, for example, in Uzbekistan people eat pilaf with their hands: Oriental people believe that cutlery distorts the taste of the dish and spoils its energy. In Mexico, fajitos are eaten without the aid of cutlery; in Georgian cuisine, khinkali is eaten holding the tail, so as not to pierce the dough with a fork and spill the broth. In European cuisine, dishes on skewers, canapes, crackers, slices of fruits and vegetables are the basis. If there are more guests than fit at the dining table, it is better to abandon traditional gatherings and organize a canapé-style festive table.
Finger food is much better than the buffet and is suitable for crowded parties. First, wash and chop vegetables, these can be tomatoes and cucumbers, colored peppers, celery and carrots. As an additional vegetable dish, you can use boiled green asparagus, broccoli and cauliflower inflorescences. All vegetables should be cut into "slices", you can decorate with sprigs of cilantro, parsley or dill.
Then wash the fruit. You can use any kind of fruit, such as grapes, apples and pears, peaches and plums, oranges and tangerines, kiwis, pineapples, etc. If it is a grape, then divide it into small branches. Oranges and tangerines must be peeled. Cut the peaches and plums into halves and remove the seeds. Core apples and pears. Fruit should be finely chopped and pitted.
Salads are best served in tartlets. You can buy tartlets ready-made at the store, or bake yourself, you will also need molds. Salads can be absolutely any, according to your taste, but the main ingredients should be chopped very finely. As a hot dish, you can use pieces of fish, chicken; on skewers, you can serve seafood and meat to guests, alternating with vegetables. Baking tartlets is very easy.
You need 500 grams of flour, add a glass of water, one egg, salt to taste. Knead the dough, roll it out thinly and cut into mold-sized circles. You need to bake in the oven for about 10-15 minutes at a temperature of 180 ° C. Cool and remove from molds. Then fill the tartlets with the filling.
Of course, a finger-food meal does not exempt you and your guests from maintaining decency. Eating with your hands does not mean eating as you want. You always need to maintain self-esteem. Even without cutlery, you need to put food in your mouth nicely and neatly.
