Hello Onebadboy,
Sounds like a wonderful evening you're planning - one I'm sure
Madame or Mr. President will appreciate.
?Traditional Serbian cuisine has been greatly influenced by
Turkish and Greek traditions. ?evap?i?i consisting of grilled heavily
seasoned mixed ground meat patties is considered to be the national
dish. Other notable dishes include Koljivo used in religious rituals,
Serbian salad, Sarma (stuffed cabbage), podvarak (roast meat with
Sauerkraut) and Moussaka. ?esnica is a traditional bread for Christmas
Day.
Slivovitz, a distilled fermented plum juice is the national drink of
Serbia with 70% of domestic plum production being used to make it.
Domestic wines are also popular. Turkish coffee is widely drunk as
well.

??evapi is a dish commonly associated with the area comprising the
former Yugoslavia. Bosnia and Herzegovina in particular is widely
recognized as the republic most associated with Ottoman-influenced
food such as ?evapi. Some of the locations in Bosnia known for their
?evapi include the Ba??ar?ija district in Sarajevo and Banja Luka.
Tuzla is widely known by ?evapi made with beef stew. The stew is made
of beef meat, cooked bones and spices. The stew is poured on a flat
bread called "lepinja" (also somun) and few chunks of meat is left
there. Also, great ?evapi are made in Banja luka. Banja Luka's ?evapi
are multiple rolls (usually four) joined together.?
