Jelena (00:08)
Dobrodošli u još jednu epizodu našeg podkasta. Danas razgovaramo o hrani koju Srbi najviše jedu.
Sada je u Srbiji period kada su slave, slava je jedna porodična proslava u Srbiji.
Ovo je jedna religiozna proslava i tada zovemo goste kod nas kući. Nevena, šta tradicionalno spremamo, koju hranu pravimo za slavu?
Welcome to another episode of our podcast. Today we’re talking about the food that Serbs eat the most. Right now in Serbia it’s the period of slavas. A slava is a family celebration in Serbia.
It’s a religious celebration when we invite guests to our homes. Nevena, what do we traditionally prepare, what food do we make for a slava?
Nevena (00:48)
Slava je ili posna ili mrsna. Kada je slava posna znači da ne jedemo ne jedemo ništa od mleka, ali jedemo, na primer, ribu. A kada je slava mrsna, jedemo sve.
Jedemo i meso, pijemo mleko i tako Na slavi ljudi često prave hranu od svinjskog mesa, dakle od svinjetine. Ovo je takođe najpopularnije meso u Srbiji.
A slava is either fasting or non-fasting. When a slava is fasting, it means that we don’t eat anything made from milk, but we do eat, for example, fish. And when the slava is non-fasting, we eat everything.
We eat meat, drink milk, and so on. At slavas, people often make food from pork, that is, from pork meat. This is also the most popular meat in Serbia.
Jelena (01:33)
Da, svinjsko meso se jede puno u Srbiji i postoji jedno jelo koje ima uglavnom na svim slavama od svinjskog mesa i koje ja ne volim, a to jelo se zove pihtije. Ovo jelo je specifično zato što ima neki želatin, a pravi se od mesa.
Pork is eaten a lot in Serbia, and there is one dish made from pork that is usually present at almost all slavas and that I don’t like, and that dish is called pihtije. This dish is specific because it has some kind of gelatin and it’s made from meat.
