Every year people celebrate a large number of different holidays. New Year, Easter and Christmas are just the biggest ones. If you dig deeper, you might be surprised that there is a holiday literally every day.

That's why we decided it was time to help you prepare your holiday table. At least with snacks. We've got you covered with ham rolls, ham cheese snacks, tartlets, cod liver balls and even chip snacks. All this is quite diverse and we really hope you enjoy it.

We believe that an appetizer should not only be beautiful, but also tasty, bright, colorful, and sometimes even spicy and unusual. What do you think about it?

All prepared recipes have already been tested by us and it has been proven that each of you can prepare them for your holiday, because all the products are quite affordable, both in availability and in cost.

Everything will be incredibly tasty, trust us and quickly run for groceries. All recipes are simple to prepare, they are clear and quick. And this is exactly what the modern housewife needs. Little time + affordable ingredients + simple preparation = delicious snack. Incredible, right?

Preparing snacks, like other types of dishes, has its own nuances. But here, the nuances are, of course, easier. For example, we don’t have any advice about not ventilating the room, because we won’t be raising any dough. There are no rules about what yeast should be or how to dilute it. It doesn’t matter to us what type of extraction the oil is or how best to brew the lemon syrup. There will be different rules here.

  1. First of all, think about the satiety of your dish. The appetizer should not satiate your guest too much, because after the appetizer there is a first course, then the main course and dessert. So think about everything in advance and do not satiate your guests on the spot;
  2. The appearance of the snack does not play a secondary role. This rule comes first along with calorie content. Snacks should be pleasing to the eye, very appetizing and attractive. So much so that you want to eat them all at once, without even feeling their aroma;
  3. And, of course, size. This is a secondary issue, but no less important. The snack should be as compact as possible. Ideally, it should fit entirely into the mouth. That's why it's a snack, just to have a bite.

If you are ready to write down recipes and remember the three basic rules of cooking, then we begin.

They should be beautiful, appetizing, compact and not particularly filling. They are served to stimulate the appetite and in such a form that you want to eat them with your eyes.

Use vegetables in your snacks. They will add freshness, sometimes even crunch (if it is, for example, cabbage or cucumbers). If you use meat or eggs, nuts, the snack will immediately become more satisfying. Various types of greens will refresh the appetizer: dill, basil, parsley, cilantro, and so on.

Also try to present the appetizer beautifully. These can be special snack dishes, you can spread the appetizer on fresh lettuce leaves, or simply place sliced ​​fresh vegetables around. If the appetizer allows it, you can present it with sauce or several at once.

You can play with snacks as you like, change the serving, list of ingredients, sauce, shape and even size. It’s as if they were created in order to change, complement or transform them. Try new ones, play and get new tastes, new types and, as a result, completely new snacks. Bon appetit!

Place the lard in the freezer for 20 minutes to harden. Then take it out and cut it into small squares. It is not advisable to twist it, otherwise the meat will turn out very fatty.


It's time to combine all the ingredients together and add the remaining salt and sugar. We also add cognac, if you don’t have it, you can add vodka and mix the minced meat thoroughly with your hands.


Now we will begin to form the sausages, but before that we need to rinse the intestines well, and after that we carefully fill them with meat.

If you don’t have intestines on hand, don’t worry, in this case they can be replaced with regular gauze. Just wrap the sausages in it.



This is how delicious it turns out.
