There probably isn't a Serb who doesn't return to his childhood, at least briefly, after hearing about popara (bread porridge). This traditional Serbian dish of stale bread and water belongs to the group of foods we call "food of the poor" because in the old Serbian households often there was nothing to eat besides that. It is usually prepared for breakfast, when there is a lot of old bread. First you need to pour water into the pot, season it with salt and then add a little butter or fat. When the water boils, cut the bread into pieces, put them in the water and mix until the bread has absorbed all the liquid. If there is some homemade white cheese or kajmak (http://on.fb.me/1b1Hl0B) in your fridge, be sure to add that as well into popara, because it makes it much tastier. So the next time when you decide to throw the old bread away, remember that generations of Serbs grew up on this dish and that you shouldn't throw away food.
-----------------------
Вероватно не постоји Србин који се на помен попаре не врати у детињство, макар на кратко. Ово традиционално српско јело од бајатог хлеба и воде спада у ону групу јела коју називамо "сиротињским", јер у старим српским домаћинствима често није било ничега што би се уз њега јело. Спрема се обично за доручак, кад се у кући накупи доста хлеба, тако што се у шерпу сипа вода, посоли и у њу дода мало путера или масти. Када вода прокључа, у њу се додају исечени комади хлеба и меша док хлеб не упије сву течност. Уколико се у кући нађе домаћег белог сира или кајмака (http://on.fb.me/1b1Hl0B), они се обавезно додају у попару, јер је тако много укуснија. Зато када следећи пут помислите да баците хлеб, сетите се тога да су на овом јелу стасале генерације и генерације Срба и направите попару.

Srećno Badnje veče!

Today the and the Serbian Orthodox church celebrate Badnji dan (Christmas Eve)! The name "Badnji dan" comes after "badnjak", a log that is brought into the house and placed on the fire on the evening of Christmas Eve. The felling, preparation, bringing in, and laying on the fire, are surrounded by elaborate rituals, with many regional variations. The tree from which the log is cut is preferably a young and straight oak, the tree that has always been sacred to Slavs. The burning of the log is accompanied by prayers that the coming year brings food, happiness, love, luck, and riches. The Serbs have inherited those customs from their ancestors and we keep them to the present day. HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVE!!

Данас је Бадњи дан! Назив Бадњи дан је добио по бадњаку који се на тај дан сече и пали. Бадњак је дрвена облица која се код православних Срба обредно налаже на ватру домаћег огњишта на Бадње вече. Дрво за бадњак, најчешће храст, сече се ритуално рано ујутру на Бадњи дан. Обичаје око Бадњег дана Срби су наследили од својих предака и и даље их одржавају. За бадњак се сече грана храста, који је код Словена одувек био свето дрво, а Бадњи дан је пун ритуала и симболике, живописних радњи и сви су они повезани са породичним култом и култом огњишта. Нека вам је СРЕЋАН БАДЊИ ДАН!

Have you felt Fernweh recently? 🤔

For all of us trapped inside our homes during coronavirus who long to travel, the Germans have a word for that: fernweh, or a pain to see far-flung places beyond our doorstep.

Đurđevdan, or St George’s day, is one of the most popular holidays and slavas (family patron saint’s fests) in Serbia. It is related to many folk traditions, some of them quite similar to those related to Beltane/May Day in Northern Europe, including preparation of water with seasonal flowers which is supposed to bring health and wealth to home and gatherings in forests. Đurđevdan is especially popular with the Roma community in Serbia who normally gather in parks and forests to celebrate it. This year, however, it will be marked as the last day of curfew.
