"Eurocrem" vs Nutella


"Eurocrem" is like a Serbian nutella. It is the same type of food. Both of them are sweet, and have the same look, but the taste is of course different. The difference in taste between these two is not that significant, unlike the other food from Serbia. Both of them are good. I like both of them the same.

Serbian vs American food

Serbian vs American food

In this link a guy from America talks about the difference between American and Serbian food. It is good because people can see what kind of experience Americans had with Serbian food.

Serbian vs American plum




On the left hand side are Serbian plums and on the right hand side are American plums. Even though they are the same fruit it is obvious that they have differences such as color as well as a little bit different shape. I had chance to try both of them and the taste is so different. It is so weird how the same food can have such a different taste in different cultures.

Typical American food

 Typical American food consists of Hamburgers, Cheeseburgers, Hot dogs, Donuts and so on. Comparing these posts with the previous posts it is easy to see the difference between Serbian and American food. American food consists of Fast food while Serbian consists of ours grandmothers recipes.


Typical Serbian food

A typical Serbian food includes food such as "cevapi", "prsuta", "sarma" and lots of other foods. These names cannot be translated because there is no name in English for these types of food. These pictures are the best example of typical Serbian food.


Serbian vs American sweets



Like everything else, the Serbian and American sweets are different. The pictures on the left side are Serbian sweets and the pictures on the right side are American sweets. These pictures represent the same type of sweets in both countries.

Serbain store in Chicago

The first picture represents the Serbian store in Chicago. Even if people are so far from their own home they still can find their food in other parts of the world, which is amazing. The other pictures represent what people can find inside. I was in Chicago for Thanksgiving and I visited this store. I was so happy because finally I was able to eat food from my culture.

Serbian pie vs American pie


Serbian pie is one of the traditional Serbian foods. Serbian pie doesn't even look like American pie and the taste is completely different. Serbian pie is crispy while American is more like a cake. The pie in this picture was made by my best friend and it is one of the best pies I had ever tasted. I look forward to trying this pie again.

Serbian vs American pancakes


People in America call Serbian pancakes crepes, but actually it is not the same food. Even if it looks like the same food the taste is different as well as the way in which people make them. I had an opportunity to try American pancakes, crepes and of course Serbian pancakes and the taste is so different that I couldn't even believe how much different it actually was. No matter how we call them, they are always going to be considered different food.
