Croatia food
Croatian food reflects a mix of Mediterranean, Italian, Austro‑Hungarian, and Balkan influences, with clear differences between the coastal and inland regions. Along the Adriatic, seafood, olive oil, and grilled fish are central, while inland cooking focuses on meats, stews, sausages, and baked dishes. Well‑known specialities include čobanac (a spicy Slavonian meat stew), purica s mlincima (roast turkey with flat baked dough sheets called mlinci), pašticada (a slow‑cooked Dalmatian beef stew), and sarma (stuffed cabbage rolls).
