France must have won the FIFA World Cup, but Croatia won the hearts of people from all over the world. The passionate team fuelled everybody\u2019s interest in the tiny nation. Many are chalking travel plans to Croatia and if you are one of those, you would love to know, what to eat in Croatia? Here goes.<\/p>\n

Croatia\u2019s cuisine varies from region to region, for a physically small country the sheer variety and rich cuisine is indeed astounding. Thanks to its geographical position and events that took place in its history, the influence of the cuisines of other countries has been enriching and has enhanced Croatia\u2019s cuisine. The influence of pasta came from Italy, the art of making wine from Greece and the delicious sarma (mince meat rolled in vine leaves or cabbage) from Turkey. Like us Indians, Croatians too attach a lot of significance to festive food or food related to festivals. And just like us, events from one\u2019s life like birth, marriage or initiation to religion has specific food served. For Christmas Eve and Good Friday it\u2019s cod. New year it\u2019s pork, carnivals and public festivals means doughnuts or krafne and so on. For Croats, irrespective of the occasion, festivities aren\u2019t complete without lamb, squid, fish or pork.<\/p>\n

Regional Choices<\/h2>\n

Yet again, just like in India, the traditional Croatian food varies from region to region. In fact, there are dishes you\u2019ll find in one region and it\u2019ll be unheard of in another. Amongst the most popular is the Dalmatian food. It is from the Dalmatian coast of Croatia and the islands. It is primarily seafood with an emphasis on seasonings, greens and olive oil. It\u2019s more of Mediterranean food. Istrian cuisine is similar to Dalmatian cuisine and yet it has its signature dishes and unique cooking ways. Manestra is a typical Istrian dish, it\u2019s basically bean soup flavoured with meat and other seasonings, so is Fuzi, a dish which has Istria\u2019s stamp. Fuzi is hand rolled pasta. Zagreb cuisine is akin to central European cuisines. Meat preparations with an aside of tubers and cabbage. The Slavonian cuisine is essentially pork based with red paprika being the main spice. None of the other regions uses red paprika as Slavonia.<\/p>\n
