Times are changing, and with them, customs evolve, but when it comes to food, fortunately, in Srijem and Slavonia, traditions have remained steadfast. Even today, they will welcome you wholeheartedly, in a hospitable manner, offering only the finest specialties and the best wines, as befits this part of Croatia. Respect for tradition, ingredients freshly arrived from the fields, a rich table - all prepared with love and passion, these are the reasons why even the strongest characters succumb to the offerings of Srijem and Slavonia.
A Srijem breakfast would not shame royal courts. Hosts will proudly tell you that the best way to start the day is with cracklings, irresistible kulen invented here, bacon or švargl, goat and cow cheeses, and freshly baked soft poppy seed roll. No meal is skipped here, and the only dilemma is which roast to choose - whether the boneless fish stew (fiš), or goulash (čobanac), grilled carp or pike-perch...
And desserts! They come in all shapes and sizes. For an aperitif, a shot of aromatic rakija (fruit brandy), and alongside the meal, the renowned wines of Srijem vineyards make the experience complete and unforgettable.
