Enjoy the food and drink from Bosnia and Herzegovina part IV...

Bosnian coffee. The most of times wrongly believed it is same as Turkish coffee, but it is not. Bosnian way of making is different which means different taste.

Halva is the favorite sweet of everyone. There is even saying when something will do good "goes well as halva", since the moment you put halva on table - it is eaten.

Oblatna is easy and tasty dessert. It is easier to prepare than most of the other desserts and in some households, it is almost constantly on table or in the fridge.

In Bosnia we fill everything you can fill: pumpkins, grape leaves, cabbage, tomato, collard greens, onion, and as you can see in photo, filled peppers.

Kljukusa, razljevusa, uljevak... There are so many names in whole country for this pie. It is our "fast pie" since it is made quickly and everyone loves it. Usually made with potatoes or pumpkin.

Can't make post like this without wine from Herezgovina. These are also one of the most famous wines in the country, but outside of it too.

Making all kinds of jams used to be favorite late summer/early fall activity for our grandmas. Made with different fruits and popular to eat as breakfast.

Liker and rakia made of quince. Need any more explanation?

Uštipci are made in so many different ways, these are like tiny breads but made usually with little bit of eggs, cream to give them different taste than usual bread. Eaten for breakfast with kajmak.

Pura is another popular breakfast meal. Pura simply means "polenta" in Bosnian, and we eat it of course with kajmak (cream) and fresh cheese.

This series of posts just got its 4th part. All of these posts show diversity of Bosnian cuisine in spices, techniques and types of meals. Just like everything else in Bosnia, even in the food you can feel history, different influences, nations and cultures that passed this place or settled in it.

Food and drink is very important part for many cultures so it is for Bosnian. Main part of any celebration is food. When you invite your guests to come over, what you put on table for them to serve themselves is something that is of big importance to any household, because it shows the way you treat and respect your guest. There are no limits, actually, people here make their guests eat as much as they can, even “force” them to take some more.
