Many people know that it is customary to serve various snacks with beer, the distinctive feature of which is the abundance of salt.

Some people think that this is a kind of "Soviet legacy", since beer was not so tasty back then, and salted fish helped to ignore this fact.

However, this is not entirely true, since salty snacks are served with the foamy drink in all countries.

Why did this tradition develop?

First of all, it is worth noting that the dominant motive was the commercial streak of people who sell beer in establishments. It is difficult to drink the drink in large quantities.

But salty foods cause thirst, which beer easily quenches. As a result, the client brings in significantly more profit.

But that's not the only reason.

Salty snacks really do make any beer more delicious. If the drink turns out to be too bitter, then with the help of salted nuts or roach you will eliminate this drawback.

However, it is important to remember that such snacks can be even more harmful than the beer itself due to the huge amount of salt.
