Finally New Year's Eve - hours of partying awaited throughout the year. Hardly anyone does not think about this day in advance. It is a great night, often spent in the company of loved ones, and sometimes even meeting someone new.

We can practically always consume large amounts of alcohol with impunity and have fun until dawn. However, everyone will admit that the point is not that the party should end - let's put it - too soon. What to do so that alcohol does not turn out to be an enemy, but a good entertainment "friend"? Of course, do not neglect other needs of the body, more precisely, food. In order for alcohol not to adversely affect the digestive system, you should have constant access to food.

The only question is, "What kind of snacks work best"? Let us answer this briefly.

Fat and protein

Fats, preferably animal ones, have a very positive effect on the digestion of alcohol. We are talking about fatty meat. There will also be something suitable for those who like vegetables. It is not only meat that inhibits the absorption of alcohol into the blood.

Foods rich in fat and protein, available in many dishes, including vegetarian ones, reduce the rate of intoxication. This is because these macronutrients are among the last to leave the stomach. And the constantly provided stomach content stimulates the whole organism to metabolize, including alcohol burning.

As in this case it is good to ensure constant access to food, snacks are of course the best solution. What snacks should you serve your guests so that the party goes smoothly?

The best snacks for New Year's Eve

As we have already mentioned, it is best if they are high-protein and high-fat products. Such rarities include:

  • gyros salad,
  • crunchy mushrooms in cheese dough,
  • bread, garlic baguette,
  • Chinese soup (noodles only), chicken and pepper salad,
  • herring in cream or herring rolls,
  • chips.

These are one of the most popular snacks, both on the tables and in search results. However, let's not forget about the old methods, proven over the years, which our grandparents and great-grandparents practiced. On the New Year's Eve table, the following may also be highly desirable:

  • pickled cucumbers,
  • pickled products such as mushrooms,
  • herring in oil with onion,
  • Tatar,
  • eggs in various forms,
  • potato salads.

Although scientists have already proved the salutary effect of, for example, pickled cucumbers on the well-being after consuming large amounts of alcohol, do not underestimate the cultural heritage of our beloved ancestors.

Creative snacks for New Year's Eve

If you want to surprise your friends with something bourgeois or fancy, we recommend things such as:

  • baked tortilla with chicken,
  • Guacamole,
  • mini beef burgers,
  • chicken quesadilla - resembling a qurrito from a famous chicken restaurant,
  • Mexican salad,
  • green olive tapenade.

Regardless of what snacks you serve to your guests, make sure that you do not run out of them on the table throughout the entire event.
