    Serbian language is so wealthy that we have hundreds of ways to congratulate the religious feast days, especially the Easter, which is mostly contributed by many dialects in the Serbian language. For the example, there are many ways to wish "Happy Easter" in Serbian: 1) Srećan Uskrs! 2) Sretan Uskrs! 3) Srećan Vaskrs! 4) Sretan Vaskrs! .... or just use simple greeting "Happy feast" - "Srećni praznik". If you use, any of these phrases, surely that you wont make any mistake but the problem is that is not usual greeting. The most common Easter greeting in Serbia is "Hristos vaskrse" (Christ is risen). The reply on that greeting should to be  "Vaistinu vaskrse"   (Indeed, he is risen).

Let's learn what is meze? A Serbian version of fast food for the dearest guests

    Before any explanation, we would like to point out that the Serbian version of "meze" should by no means be equated with what is meant by "meze" in Turkish national cuisine. Also, "meze" in Serbia is not an appetizer either, because after "meze" neither main dish nor dessert follows. To put it simply, "meze" is a fast-prepared food for guests who do not have enough time for a traditional lunch but have enough time to eat something in a short amount of time, even in small quantities, because it is contrary to the Serbian tradition for the guests to leave Serbian house without being fed.  "Meze" does not include long cooked foods, but includes foods that are quickly cut, served and put on the table. With "meze" plates are never placed, not even a cutlery. . Meze is served in one, two, at most three plates (if there are more plates, it will become lunch, not "meze"). But the essence of the ...
