Traditional Food and Tourist Offer of Istria : Characteristics of Istrian Regional Identity
نویسنده
چکیده
Characteristics of Istrian regional identity at the turn of the 21 century can be considered in the context of traditional food as a tourist offer of Istria. The main characteristics of Istrian traditional meals are simplicity and modesty as well as togetherness of the Roman, German and Slavic cuisine. The global trend of coming back to authenticity and health food are cleverly used by the tourist communities from Istria in their work. In traditional-religious celebrations, nourishment takes over a more important place each day, especially for those meals that were consumed in the past. In newer times there are festivals organized exclusively to honour the traditional meals so they would be preserved from oblivion, but also as a specific tourist offer of the peninsula.
