Make a birthday menu from beautiful and inexpensive to prepare meals in advance.

Birthday is the most important holiday for most of us. But over time, fantasy is depleted, monotonous dishes appear on the table. I want something new, but no less tasty. What should the birthday menu be like? What original can be put on the table, surprising guests?

Menu composition for birthday.

If you decide to celebrate your holiday at home, you need to decide in advance which dishes and in what quantity you will prepare. However, one should not overdo it and cook too many all kinds of dishes, most likely, most of them will never get to the point. In addition, it should be relatively simple to prepare, especially if you are cooking alone. Otherwise, you will become so tired that you no longer want either a holiday or a festive table.

The choice of dishes for your birthday depends on the format of the event. Will you sit at the table all the time, or maybe you want to have a buffet, and soon you will move on to the entertainment program and dancing. In addition, it is worth taking into account the age of your guests and the time of year. The colder it is outside, the more food will be eaten.

Write on the leaflet how many salads you want to cook, how many snacks, hot. Moreover, try to cook as little as possible of the same type of dishes. For example, if you decide to make a traditional salad “Herring under a fur coat”, you should not make another fish salad, for example, “Mimosa”.

• Firstly, of course, snacks. There should not be too many of them, their goal is not to interrupt the appetite in front of the main course, but rather stimulate it. Three to five kinds of snacks will be enough on the table.
• Secondly, it is of course salads. Three types of different salads will suffice. And it’s just wonderful if the basis of these salads will be different, for example, fish salad, vegetable and meat.
• Thirdly, slicing. Slicing is not considered a separate dish, but it should always be present on the table. Do not make too many slices of one product - such dishes quickly airy and spoil the overall appearance. It will be enough for 1 plate (depending on the number of people) meat, fish, vegetable and cheese slices.
• Fourthly, a garnish must be present on the birthday table. At least one species. Most often, it is either mashed potatoes or potatoes baked with mayonnaise.
• Fifth, and this is almost the main dish on the table, hot. One kind of hot must be required. But you can cook and 2-3 species, for example.
• And the final chord of the holiday is dessert. At the festive table, it should be mandatory. This can be a cake, pie, a variety of cakes or cookies, ice cream, jelly and puddings. Here, focus on the preferences of most guests. If you don’t know their tastes, you can prepare two or three types of dessert in order to please everyone.

How to decorate a holiday table?

Before this significant date, the heart invariably freezes with joy in anticipation of gifts, fun, friendly meetings. But for some reason, some people do not like their birthdays. Someone because they are at least a year old, but they are getting older. And some, especially economical subjects, are tensely calculating how much it will cost them and the mood spoils from the announcement of the estimate. Life is such that everyone is periodically forced to save. But this is not a reason to deprive yourself of holidays. Therefore, we will try to answer the question: how to inexpensively set a table for a birthday?

Where does tradition come from?

When did people start celebrating birthdays? There are two versions. According to the first, the tradition was based on Roman ceremonies held in honor of the gods. Pagans set up plentiful tables, sounded congratulations, gave various gifts. This hypothesis is more modern. And the second version says that the roots of tradition go back to ancient times, when there were beliefs about the special vulnerability of a person on his birthday. It was believed that any wishes or curses were doubled on such dates. Therefore, the ancient people made offerings to appease the spirits so that they would not harm the newborn.

Name Day Flies-Tsokotuhi

Gradually they turned to personalities, but for a long time no one paid attention to the date of the birth of children and women. The first woman whose birthday was celebrated on a grand scale was the beautiful Cleopatra. It was not customary for ordinary people to record and celebrate ladies' birthdays.

Greeks and Egyptians often and pathetically celebrated the birth dates of the gods, as well as the pharaohs and kings. Sometimes, on the occasion of the birth of the pharaoh, prisoners were released from prisons. In ordinary families, it was practiced to celebrate only the birthday of the head of the family.

At first, the position of Christianity in this matter was extremely harsh: life was given to man for the atonement of sins, and therefore he was not happy. Later, the church softened somewhat and allowed christening with name-days. But the Soviet system was against name day and, figuratively speaking, trampled tradition with his iron boot. Even the famous birthday fly was ordered to be removed from the works of old Korney.

By the way, in Russia, name-days were very popular: they baked a loaf, brewed tasty beer, made cakes and sang songs. Of course, peasant holidays were much more modest than the royal ones: sometimes, for the amount spent on the day of the crowned person’s name, several chic palaces could be built.

Surprise cake

It is clear that ordinary people always dreamed of setting a delicious and inexpensive birthday table. But what a celebration without a cake? Few people know where this indispensable attribute of birthdays came to us from. If you dig a little deeper, it is believed that the idea itself came again from pagan times, when sacred altars were lit in pitch darkness in honor of the ancient gods.

But the Germans introduced the tradition. They created a common ritual for celebrating a children's birthday. To do this, they prepared a delicious cake in which various iconic objects were hidden, candles were put upstairs according to the number of years of the hero of the occasion, and, waking the child from dawn, they sang him good songs. It is noteworthy that the pie was not eaten until evening, until the whole family gathered at the table. The child was supposed to make something cherished and blow out the candles at a time. It’s familiar, right?

Jam Day: Their Morals

In different countries, such holidays are treated differently. A reverent attitude among the majority of the inhabitants of the planet to anniversaries. But some nationalities mark just odd or non-circular dates. Traditions are also different: in Italy, an indispensable dish on the birthday party table will be spaghetti (for a long time), and in Latin America they always break a piñata with gifts loaded in it.

The British, who have lived to 80 years or more, personally congratulate her Royal Majesty. But the most unlucky birthday people live in Japan: instead of children, they congratulate their parents, and gifts are generally accepted only after the age of 60.

Household Desk Rules

If the mistress-birthday girl still decided to gather close people under her hospitable roof, but wants to compare needs with opportunities, then there is a way out.

To set a table for a birthday at home is inexpensive, very tasty, and even so that it looks presentable - an absolutely feasible task. To do this, you must follow the simplest rules:

1. The menu must be thought out in advance. It’s nice to dig into cookbooks, look through magazines.

If the hostess wants to set the table for a birthday at home inexpensively, recipes with photos are especially welcome, because you can immediately see how the dishes on the table will look.
2. Accurately calculate the number of guests (given, of course, and a few uninvited guests). You can cook hot portioned, but in this case the birthday girl will not have rest. It’s better to make a common dish with a margin.
3. First courses on the birthday menu, as a rule, are not included. Exceptions are exotic gourmet soups.
4. If a traditional celebration is planned, then it is quite possible to set a table for a birthday at home inexpensively. Recipes for budget dishes can be found in any source to your taste. But surely cold and hot appetizers, a main course (meat or fish), salads and dessert should be included.

Alcoholic beverages are also an important attribute of the festive table, as they increase the degree of mood, forgive the pun.

Modest slicing and luxury roll

Many families adhere to the classic long-standing traditions and set the table with their favorite dishes, which guests know by heart. But this approach has its own benefits: people will never leave hungry and are guaranteed to be satisfied.

Standard cold dishes include meat, cheese and vegetable slices. This classic approach has never failed anyone. The main thing is the variety of varieties in the composition of the slices. Everyone knows that it is with cold appetizers that any feast should begin. This is the so-called organizational moment: it is useless to hope that no one will be late. And while waiting, the rest of the guests will be able to eat well so as not to drink on an empty stomach.

For those who want to set the table for a birthday at home inexpensively, Korean snacks are perfect: buy a little of everything (after tasting the dishes) and put them on small tables in the table. Homemade pickles and marinades are also in great demand.

There are express recipes for initiates on how to deliciously and inexpensively set a table for a birthday: cold roll and a snack with the romantic name “Raffaello”. The first is prepared as follows:

• a sheet of thin pita bread is greased with a mixture that includes: mayonnaise, garlic, dill and grated cheese;
• finely chopped ham;
• further actions are repeated;
• roll pita bread in the form of a roll;
• wrap the product in cling film and put in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

A kernel of walnut is rolled into a mixture of cheese, fatty mayonnaise and garlic. Then, a frozen crab stick is rubbed on a fine grater. The grated crab meat is falling off with a surprise: the dish is ready. Including with the help of this recipe, you can reveal the secret of how to quickly and inexpensively set the table for a birthday. To make these balls look festive, they are laid out on fresh lettuce leaves.

You can also use seasonal dishes. The budget version of the menu is compiled in the summer. For example, eggplant tongues or fingers. The second option is more expensive, since it contains very little, but meat is included.

Charming hot snacks

The hostess, asking herself the question of how to deliciously and inexpensively set a table for a birthday, should not forget about hot snacks. They follow the cold when everyone gathered at the table and the time has come for the first toasts. They should not be many, and they are prepared shortly before serving. This is a light meal that has a small serving size. An example of such an appetizer can be easy to prepare meat balls:

• traditional, patty meat is made, with the addition of a raw egg;
• the finished layer of dough is rolled out and cut into strips;
• meat balls are wrapped with threads from the dough like a ball;
• the dish is baked in the oven until cooked.

This appetizer looks very presentable.

Now it’s not a problem for a hostess to set a table for her birthday at home inexpensively, recipes simply jump out of magazines, cookbooks, and Internet portals themselves. Here, for example, is a dish similar to julienne, which is cooked ridiculously quickly, but the taste is simply charming. We present the hostesses of champignons in sour cream sauce.

The dish is prepared like this:

• peeled mushrooms are added to carefully sautéed onions and carrots and stewed for about 10 minutes;

But the question was, how inexpensive is it to set the table for a birthday, what does the game have to do with it? So it’s not necessary to bake the duck, the same can be done with chicken. You can not use the whole bird, but its legs or wings. If you pickle them well, and even roll them in honey, you get a great dish with a delicious crispy crust.

In general, before planning the main course, you need to ask yourself what your guests like more: meat or fish? Only then can you prepare the coveted main course.

This option is especially suitable for a young, advanced company. You can order pizza, ready-made grilled chicken and salads. Japanese dishes are a little more expensive.

There is also an interesting and modern option - a buffet table. But he obeys certain rules:

• division into disposable servings;
• dishes should be mainly on skewers;
• you can put all kinds of goodies on one large table;
• the main course should be in baskets or make cantaloupes, having previously cut them;
• if chicken legs are served, then the bone is wrapped with a napkin.

Alcoholic beverages must be uncorked, and guests are surely provided with glasses and glasses. But a huge plus will be that the birthday girl does not need to constantly change plates and appliances.

The most interesting option will be a birthday in nature. Happy people born in the summer months know what that means. Picnic, barbecue, barbecue, air and sun - what could be more seductive? But here there are nuances:

• salads with mayonnaise - not recommended dishes on a picnic;
• meat must be marinated in advance;
• should take care of drinking water;
• sandwiches and side dishes can be taken from home.

And what a delicious pilaf at the stake or potatoes baked in ash!

But no matter what the birthday man chooses, the main thing is that his beloved people are nearby.
