Traditional Meal
The simplicity of preparation but also the spice of taste characterize the food prepared in Herzegovinian households. Sometimes it was difficult to imagine a worker's meal in a field without meat dried on the smoke and sheep or cow's cheese. Today, this ordinary pastry meal becomes a prized appetite in many restaurants. The voice of the taste of the smoked ham of Herceg-Hague is already beyond the borders of Herzegovina. Homemade cheeses, prepared in a special way in a sheep's cheese, are valued and expensive traditional delicacies. Also, in the vineyards of Herzegovina, often guests would be served with meat or apricots of cheese and grapes to which white wine would be sown. The lovers of traditional gastronomy in Herzegovina have many reasons why the Herzegovinian ham is of special taste or why cheese from the mill is unique. For Herzegovinian prosciutto they say that special skills are needed to prepare. The correct position of the dryer, exposure to cold winter wind, the proper choice of wood that is stored in the drying room and proper storage are part of the traditional instructions for preparation. Today, meals, which were an integral part of daily diet in Herzegovina, served in modest wooden pots symbolize the old way of life and find a place in better restaurants. Croatian Post d.o.o. Mostar has issued an airstrip with two commemorative stamps in the sutisku, a small 4-page print, a first-day envelope and a maximum map.
