📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Urnebes is a specialty of southern Serbia: a spicy cheese salad of white cheese and kajmak mixed with dried chili, paprika, and garlic. Its name means 'chaos,' said to describe its fiery kick. It's eaten on bread as a starter before grilled meats.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a Serbian grill restaurant, a red-tinged cheese dip and bread are set out while diners wait for the meat to finish grilling.
