During winter, when a slava (the feast day of a family’s patron saint) is celebrated, the drink of choice is Šumadija tea or mulled plum brandy.

Palic Wine Route Routes
The entire Palić region lies on sandy terrain near by the prehistoric Pannonian Sea. That’s why wines from this area are commonly referred to as sand wines. The sandy soil, a moderate continental climate and top grape varieties yield very appealing wines. The Subotica-Horgoš area has a winemaking tradition that goes back well over 2,000 years.
Serbian Fish Soup Traditional dishes
The secret of this Serbian recipe is in the slight, almost unnoticeable thickening of the soup. The old masters achieved this by sewing some maize flour into a little cloth bag and cooking it in the soup (much like a teabag). You can achieve the same effect by stirring a teaspoon of the finest corn flour into few water and adding it at the end of the cooking, then bringing the soup back to the boiling point.
