The World | Europe | Bosnia and Herzegovina

Bosnian-Herzegovinian cuisine is influenced by Greek, Turkish, and Central European cuisine, but the overall influence is Turkish. With its Mediterranean climate, a great variety of grains, fruits, and vegetables are produced, which make up a good part of a healthful diet that also includes soured milk, cheeses, beef, lamb, and fish. Spices are used moderately. Cabbage is a staple vegetable that is found in many recipes, and Bosnia-Herzegovina produces excellent wines.
