2025 is the year of the Green Wooden Snake according to the eastern calendar.

The coming year will be welcoming for those who follow all the rules, including those of a gastronomic nature. At least, that's what the legends say.

What should definitely be present on the festive table? It is better to give preference to light and healthy food.

It is recommended to make the base of the dish chicken, turkey or fish, and the side dish should be made from potatoes.

But a light and healthy menu does not mean "simple and poor". The snake loves abundance, so there should be more snacks.

These are various salads, fruit and vegetable slices. And as for dessert, there must be honey on the table.

Snake-shaped dishes made from fatty, canned and spicy ingredients, as well as sweets, are not welcome.

As for alcohol, the main prohibitions are related to strong drinks. It is also not recommended to put beer, kvass, and soda on the table.
