Goulash, paprikash, beans, mu\u0107kalica, stews, cracklings, cicvara, and everything else that can be cooked and prepared in kettles, cauldrons, pots, jars, dalandaras, and on the grill were prepared\u2026 and a pig was also roasted on a spit, just to ward off bad luck and for the sake of tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toasts were made with homemade brandy, wine, and loza, and it was all washed down \u2013 with song!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
