"Snowman" from chicken and cream sauce The very first figure from the snow was Italiansculptor in a very very very distant year of 1493. Different nations and snowmen have a lot of different beliefs and legends. Europeans considered them to be evil snow monsters, but in Ancient Russia our ancestors believed that snowmen help to reduce severe frosts. At the same time, in Slavic mythology, the spirits that control snowstorms and snowstorms were of a feminine gender, so they molded snowmen in their yards. We suggest that you feel like a Slavic winter spirit and prepare a cute snowman or a snow lady as a snack for the New Year's table. It will take:
