Thats “Daće” old slavic pagan tradition. In Vojvodina where in my town there are lots of Hungarians,Romanians and others and always look at us super weird when we eat food next to the cemetery

We also have 'daća' after the funeral. But not on the cemetery. Traditionally was in the house of person which died organized by family, and in modern time mostly in restaurants.

Do you eat every time when you come to the grave? This is what i meant, not really at funeral but when you later visit.

Did locals on your islands eat snails and frogs? One of the rate Serbs which ate snails for sure and maybe even frogs were those from Bukovica and Ravni Kotari. The first and last (for now) time i ate snails in one Bukovica house. Alberto Fortis in 1774. wrote that real 'Morlachs' don't eat frogs. According to anothet source from 18th century Orthodox 'Morlachs' don't eat frogs and snails and Catholic 'Morlachs' eat. Orthodoxes claimed Catholic will lost their souls because of that. Obviously in Bukovica and Kotari Orthodoxes started to practiced that later.

No. Only after the funeral and on 40 days, but not in the cemetery as i already said.

There is old proverb:

"When you go through Bosnia - don't sing, every Bosnian will sing better. When you go through Serbia - don't dance, every Serbian will dance better. And when you go through Macedonia, don't dance or sing!"


I dont agree that we Krajina Serbs are like robots, we do like to relax and have a good time.
I dance very good Užičko kolo on every wedding I was invited.

Only in ex-Yugoslavia who are closest to cold robot mentality are Slovenes and Croats.

I noticed you look down on Serbian Serbs, and that is bad of you.

He does. I hear it regularly, wont say “hate” it is strong word but some Krajina Serbs and Bosnian Serbs have shitty attitude towards Serbs from Serbia and and the opposite.

Pagan customs were absorbed into our Christianity as a compromise. there are lots of other tradition that are actually pagan.

Within generation all differences and animosities will be past. Marriages between members of various regional groups are high.
Also, we already speak ekavian dialect, especialy us who came as small children as refugees and almost all life are here in Serbia.

These cemetery feasts were never absorbed by Christianity and were always condemned, at least here. They are condemned as a form of unconscious ancestor worship. Church here made a great job in 2000s-2010s to eradicate Pagan smell from popular Christianity.

Please, give me the link where i posted something for what we can say it is anti Serbia Serbs attitude!
I never spat on Srbijanci. Earlier i was sharper towards Montenegrins (because of political reasons), but never towards Srbijanci. Feiichy once said i am most anti-Montenegrin member of this forum ever, it was before you arrived here. I said i had better experiences with Montenegrins than with Srbijanci on average in my life. That is not against Srbijanci, it is my personal experience with these parts of Serbian ethnos.

Prejudices, poison darts and rivalry among different regional groups inside of one ethnos exist in all ethnicities. We saw fights at regional basis between various Croatian users here: Feiichy vs Insuperable, Hrvoje vs Insuperable, Hrvoje vs Robocop, Insuperable vs Robocop, Feiichy vs Robocop etc. Among Serbian members something similar has been seen only when Hazmantik attacked us Krajina Serbs. There was also fights between various Greeks at region basis here.
