All through my pregnancy, the dish I most craved was Fettuccine Alfredo and that too from Olive Garden....

published Jul 13, 2022, updated May 31, 2024 Cevapi is a spicy, caseless Serbian sausage that is almost synonymous with Balkan cuisine. When we say Balkan cuisine, we are referring to dishes typical of the Southeastern European peninsula. If I had to choose one word to describe it, it would be: delicious.
