Light snacks can serve as an aperitif before the main course, as they tend to induce hunger rather than fullness. In addition, snacks are ideal for times when you feel like snacking but don't feel like overeating.
Light snacks include all types of snacks popular in America, such as nuts, sugary pills, croutons, popcorn, chips, sauces, crackers, and fruit and vegetable snacks. Cooking snacks does not require any special culinary skills, nor a lot of time, since the products are quickly and uncomplicated culinary processing.
As a rule, the composition of light snacks does not include the presence of infrequently consumed foods or complex ingredients. All possible multicomponent pates and delicacies are cold and hot snacks.
Typically, light snacks are served with beer, chilled homemade lemonade, mineral water, juices, alcoholic and fruit cocktails, iced tea or coffee.
