Diet
The Serbian staple diet relies on bread, fruit, meat, and dairy products, including yogurt and cottage cheese. Peppers are also a common ingredient in many dishes. The national dish is called cevapcici. It consists of small meat patties, highly spiced and grilled.
Other Serbian specialties include a type of cornbread, proja; a thin, crispy dough served with eggs and cheese called gibanica; cabbage leaves filled with meat or sarma; and palacinke or crepes, served with coffee prepared in the Turkish style. A fruit juice called sok is very popular.
