Summary/Abstract: Discussing the influence of the oriental and the western cultures on the Yugoslav cookery vocabulary, the author pays special attention to the use of expressions denoting tripes. He also considers a number of idiomatic phrases and verbs like „smejati se kao lud na brašno” („to laugh like a madman when shown flour” — to be easy to provoke to laugh), „raspekmeziti se” (pekmez — jam / to become overly sentimental), „raspilaviti se” (pilav — pilaf/ to be overjoyed, to be deeply moved), „opasuljiti se” (pasulj — beans / to sober up), etc.
