When laying the table, great importance is given to snacks, because they are designed to stimulate appetite and satisfy hunger. What kind of snacks to cook, the hostess decides, but the main thing is to follow some rules.

Snack is usually understood as a light dish, which is served at the beginning of lunch or dinner. Snacks can also be served as a standalone dish, usually when they are served with alcoholic drinks or cocktails. In this case, they serve as a snack.

There are a huge number of different snacks, but all snacks can be conditionally divided into two main types: cold and hot. Cold appetizers, as a rule, may include fish and meat cuts, salads, tartlets, canapes, vegetables or fruits. Pies, quiches, gratins, pies and croquettes are traditionally referred to as hot. Earlier souffle was served as a hot snack, but now this tradition is far behind.

When preparing snacks, it is important to remember one main rule: do not combine with each other some foods that impede the process of digestion and metabolism.

But vegetables can be confidently used in most cases!
