Bread and Porridges
Bread is the basis of Serbian meals and it is often treated almost ritually. A traditional Serbian welcome is to offer
the guest with just bread and sault; bread also plays an importrant role in religious rituals. Some people believe that it
is sinful to throw away bread regardless of how old it is. Although pasta, rice, potato and similar side dishes did enter
the everyday cuisine, many Serbs still eat bread with these meals.
In most bakeries and shops, white wheat bread loafs (typically 600 grams) are sold. In modern times, black bread and various
graham bread variations regain popularity as a part of more healthy diets. In many rural households, bread is still baked
in ovens, usually in bigger loafs. Also, the following breads and porridges are part of the traditional cuisine:
