Summary/Abstract: The paper analyzes the functionality of Rabelaisian sets of food and drinks in the narrative structure of the novel of Serbian realism, Milan Narandzic. The author explores how food and drinks are involved in the characterization of characters and how they shape the realistic atmosphere of the novel, as well as their role in shaping the image of society from the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The aim of this work is to determine the substitutions that take place on the background semantic plan of the work, which show that a healthy laugh is placed in the place of toxic indignation, and a cheerful feast is placed in the place of false asceticism. It is also pointed out the differences that exist between the cheerful feast at Rabelais and Jakov Ignjatović, as well as the way in which such differences contribute to the sketching of the character of modern antihero Milan Narandžić. The results of the paper show that Jakov Ignjatovćc contributed to his inclusion in the wider context of Serbian and European literature with a skillful incorporation of feast images into the structure of his novel.
