Snacks from Serbia

Serbian snacking is Plazma, the biscuit you crush into milk as a kid and still buy as an adult, and Smoki, the peanut puffs. Burek from a pekara. Vanilice sandwich cookies. Kajmak on bread. Slivo is a drink. This is a named biscuit factory and a puff, not only ćevapi — those are a meal you can also nibble, but Plazma is the kiosk.

Smoki Peanut-flavored puffed corn snacks, a kiosk bag.
Burek Phyllo with cheese or meat from pekaras, the morning pastry.
Vanilice Tiny jam sandwich cookies with vanilla sugar, a homemade and shop sweet.
Kajmak on bread Clotted cream-cheese spread, a savory nibble.
Oblanda Layered wafer sheets with chocolate cream.

Plazma is not a generic tea biscuit. It is a brand that became a verb: in milk, on trips, in recipes. Smoki is the puff. Pekaras sell burek that oils the paper. Vanilice are tiny, powdered, jammed, a tray sweet.

Kajmak on bread is the savory. Pack Plazma and Smoki. Burek is hot.
