TYPICAL MEALS
-------------

BESIDE THE STANDARD EUROPEAN CUISINE PRESENT IN ALL
RESTAURANTS AND HOTELS, SPECIALITIES FROM THE GRILL
AND THE ROASTING-SPIT (LAMB, PORK, POULTRY) ARE VERY
POPULAR. SOME SPECIALITIES ARE AS FOLLOWS :
THE DALMATIAN SMOKED HAM, SALTY PILCHARDS, SHEEP
CHEESE, PEPPERED SLAVONIAN SAUSAGES, PAPRIKA-FLAVOURED
SALAMI, ETC...
EXQUISITE HORS-D'OEUVRES ARE SEA-SHELLS (OYSTERS, MUSSELS,
DATE-SHELLS) AS WELL AS SCAMPI, GRILLED OR "NA BUZARU"
(COOKED AND FLAVOURED WITH A LOT OF AROMATIC SPICES).
FISH MEALS, BRODET, THE FISH STEW (SEVERAL KINDS OF FISH
SAUTED IN A TOMATO SAUCE WITH GARLIC & SPICES) IS VERY
SAVOURY.IN THE CONTINENTAL REGION, THE PEPPERED FISH STEW
WITH FRESH-WATER IS FAVOURED. SCAMPI, PRSTACI (SHELLFISH).

FROM MEAT SPECIALITIES, WE POINT OUT THE FOLLOWING :
THE DALMATIAN "PASTICADA" (BEEF STUFFED WITH LARD
AND ROASTED IN WINE AND SPICES), THE STEAK A LA
ZAGREB (VEAL STUFFED WITH HAM AND CHEESE, THEN FRIED
IN BREADCRUMBS), THE CUTLET A LA ZAGORJE (WITH SAUSAGES,

IT IS ROASTED OR SAUTEED IN A SAUCE OF VINEGAR,
OLIVE OIL, WINE, PROSECCO AND PRUNES WITH ROSEMARY.

TYPICAL DRINKS
----------------

BESIDE FOREIGN ALCOHOLIC DRINKS, YOU MAY TASTE THE
DOMESTIC BRANDIES : PLUM-BRANDY, HERB-FLAVOURED
BRANDY AND WALNUT BRANDY. FURTHER, THERE ARE MANY
SORTS OF WINE, BUT KING OF ALL WINES IS DINGAC,
(15-16% OF ALCOHOL), A THICK RED WINE FROM THE
PENINSULA OF PELJESAC. THEN THERE IS THE KORCULANSKI
GRK (14-15% OF ALCOHOL). A SERIES OF OTHER THICK
RED WINES SHOULD ALSO BE MENTIONED : THE VISKO,
HVARSKO, KASTELANSKO AND THE ISTARSKO "VINO".
IN THE NORTHERN COUNTRY PARTS THE ALCOHOLIC CONTENT
OF THE WINES DROPS, BUT THE ACID CONTENT GROWS.
PREDOMINANTLY WHITE WINES WITH PLEASANT FLAVOUR,
LIGHT AND SWEET TASTE ARE BREWED HERE. AMONG THESE,
WE WOULD LIKE TO STRESS THE FOLLOWING :GRASEVINA,
RIZLING, TRAMINAC, PINOT, SOVIGNON, PLJESIVICA, ETC...
