National cuisine of Bosnia And Herzegovina
Local residents are habitues of fragrant bakeries selling delicious mini-rolls filled with cheese. Cheese and coffee are some of the most delicious products offered by the Bosnian cuisine. Bosnians often eat sweets, cakes, and donuts with jam. On a dinner table, easy-to-prepare potato patties smelling of home and coziness (locally known as "Potato Pita") lie next to traditional "Begova Čorba", a thick chicken-vegetable soup unchanged since the days of the Ottoman Empire. Amazing "Tufahije" dessert - apples stuffed with walnuts stewed in sugar water - reminds us of that militant epoch. But apart from sweets, homemade pastries, and rich soups, Bosnians also eat giblets, namely kidneys and liver. We cannot fail to mention ubiquitous Balkan kebabs. In general, the Bosnian diet is based on meat. Locals are very fond of small rolls of seasoned ground beef cooked on the grill and served in a "bread pocket". They especially like smoked meat - for example, ribs. However, it should be borne in mind that many Bosnians are Muslims who do not eat pork.
