The Serbian cuisine is a very
rich cuisine, mainly having dishes that are extremely meaty and consistent in
animal fat. Serbian cuisine is an heterogeneous one, derived from mixed
traditions, mostly influenced by Mediterranean (especially Greek), Hungarian,
Turkish and Austrian cousins.
The Serbian cuisine, just like
Serbian culture, implies not only region elements connected to Serbia, but
other parts of former Yugoslavia as well. Great influences have been marked on
the whole cooking process due to peasantry, which also influenced the folk
craft, music and arts.
Under the rule of the Ottoman
Empire, during the last five centuries, Serbia has had not only cultural
influences, but cooking ones as well. Special traditional dishes made in Serbia
today have common roots with the dishes prepared in Turkey. The whole Serbian
cuisine is derived from a mixture of influences coming from Mediterranean,
especially Greek influences, Hungary, Turkish and Austrian cuisines.
Serbian has a great passion
for food in general, having a rich cuisine and a large diversity of alcohol
beverages that accompany these fat-rich dishes. Slivovitzis a strong, alcoholic
beverage primarily made from distilled fermented plum juice. It tastes similar
to brandy and sometimes called plum brandy in English. Specific Serbian wines
have centuries of tradition behind them.
Foods include a variety of
grilled meats and bread. Desserts range from Turkish-style baklava to
Viennese-style tortes. The national drink of Serbia is a plum brandy. Locally
produced wines are also popular and they are highly regarded. Most popular
cuisines that are served in Serbia are Pasulj (Serbian Bean Soup), Soups Stews
Beans, Prysnac Serbia (Broccoli Casserole), Serbian Torte, Szerb Bableves
(Serbian Bean Soup).
Barbeques are very popular in
Serbia, and they have developed a series of products that can only be prepared
in this method. Such meals, often considered fast-food ones, include
Pljeskavica (hamburger), Ćevapi (small kebabs), Vešalica, Mućkalica (mixed
meat), and other various sausages.
