Most dishes, however, can be found all across the country, with local variants. Mainland cuisine is more characterized by the earlier Slavic and the more recent contacts with Hungarian and Turkish cuisine. Examples of this are using lard for cooking, and spices such as black pepper, paprika, and garlic. The coastal region bears the influences of Greek and Roman cuisine. While more modern adaptations from the local Mediterranean cuisine, in particular the Italians.
