and a beautiful synagogue.
Ok, the synagogue is abandoned, but that wasn't due to the Serbs.Subotica is technically in Vojvodina, but now that the term Yugoslavia isn't used, that is an autonomous province within Serbia.
There is a large Hungarian population here too, as this was part of historic St. Stephen's Hungary. The market speaks to that. Here I am walking past the paprika.
This is a squash called patiszon, which is very popular in Hungary served breaded and fried.
This is the poppy seed paste that is so commonly (and not deliciously, as far as we're concerned) used in making pastries in this part of the world.
We, of course, ate the most obvious Serb dishes.
This is a cevapi sandwich. Cevapi or cevapcici (the diminutive) are hand-formed, grilled links of minced meat. The best part of these stands, where they grill them, is you can go nuts with the toppings.
I don't think Serbs go overboard quite as much as we did. It can get a little messy to eat.
Finally, as far as burek goes, it wasn't that good here.
We prefer the Albanian burek we get at Tony and Tina's on Arthur Ave. in the Bronx.
