Serbian cuisine is a rich blend of flavors influenced by various cultures, including Mediterranean, Hungarian, and Turkish traditions. It features hearty dishes often made with meat, bread, and fresh vegetables. Popular ingredients include pork, beef, and chicken, often prepared through grilling or slow-cooking methods. One of the most famous dishes is ćevapi, small grilled sausages typically served with flatbread and onions. Other notable foods include sarma (cabbage rolls) and ajvar (pepper-based condiment). Meals are often accompanied by rakija, a strong fruit brandy, reflecting the importance of hospitality in Serbian culture.
