Utopenci are a common but spicy folk delicacy with a somewhat strange name.

They are mainly offered in pubs, where there is little or no cooking, because its preparation is actually preservation, albeit with a limited shelf life.

In households, they provide a heartier snack or a simple dinner. And why the name drowned? Because the base of sausage or other ingredients is covered with a spicy sour pickle and the ingredients used must always be completely submerged.

Drowning made from minced fish meat and vegetables is also very popular. The best side dish for drowning is homemade bread .
