The photo shows pita or burek. Pita’ (pie) is a generic name for various dishes made of dough, whereby its more specific name is determined by the filling it contains. Burek, however is just one type of pie, filled with minced meat. There is a famous – and untranslatable – Bosnian saying: ‘Sve su pite pite, samo je burek pitac’, which would, very loosely translated mean something like ‘Every ‘pita’ is a Queen, but burek is King.‘ For the truest experience, yoghurt or ayran (salted yoghurt, diluted with water) – is a must when eating pita or burek.
