Serbian cuisine
The best way to discover peoples is through their national cuisine.
History
In villages, the kitchen is called “the home” and only in towns and cities “the kitchen”. The hearth as the central part of any house is considered a cult place by which people slept, warmed, made bread and meals and around which family members gathered in the evenings telling tales, legends and learnt about housework skills. When at the table, people used to sit on benches or chairs and the pots used for preparing and serving meals were made of clay or wood. Some wealthier village homes had copper pottery, but it was kept for special occasions.
In villages, bread was made of wheat or corn flour exclusively on hearth. Every festive meal was accompanied by indispensable kolo (a kind of national dance) and flute music.
Historical events have influenced Serbian cuisine very much so every region has its own specific and distinctive characteristics.
