St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church of McKeesport-Duquesne will add new features to its annual “A Taste of Serbia” festival, along with perennial menu favorites.

The two-day event at the church, located at 901 Hartman St., is slated for Sept. 30 from 3 to 7 p.m. and Oct. 1 from 12 noon to 7 p.m., a spokeswoman said. In addition to pre-orders, walk-up orders will be taken while supplies last. A new courtyard festival tent provides protection for outdoor seating rain or shine. Also this year a Kafana bar will offer beer, wine, slivo, soda and water.

The church’s boneless slow-roasted sliced lamb sandwiches and award-winning 12-ounce haddock filet fish sandwiches again top the menu. Fish sandwiches and pierogies are available on Friday only, while lamb sandwiches may be ordered both days.

Two other favorites return: Cevaps, six grilled skinless meat sausages served with onions, a roll and kajmak spread, and Burek, a savory meat and cheese pie in phyllo dough, the spokeswoman said.

Stuffed cabbage rolls (sarma), traditional sauerkraut and red kidney bean soup (grah i kupas), halushki, Serbian potato salad and Serbian coleslaw round out the main menu. Unlike mainstream salads prepared with creamy dressings, Serbian salads are mixed with an oil and vinegar dressing.

Sweet treats include apple strudel, palacinke, cinnamon roll love knots, fried doughnut krofne, pineapple pita, kifle apricot or nut horns, lady locks, and a bakery sampler. Nut rolls and apricot rolls are back plus orders may be placed for the holidays.

Pre-orders by credit card accepted from September 11 to 25 by calling (412) 287-6249. Cash or credit cards are accepted for walk-up orders. Pre-orders also may be placed online at www.stsavapa.org.
