Summary/Abstract: Dietary practices of both areas have been determined by the long-term influences of the cultural traditions of central Europe on one side, and the Balkans and Asia Minor on the other. The author uses the example of a menu from the 17th C Varaždin, a butcher’s guild Easter feast, to demonstrate the abundance and the variety of the foods consumed. The other example is from contemporary Cernik, showing the content of a festive dinner at St. Peter and Paul’s day
