From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kačamak or kachamak (Cyrillic: качамак) is a traditional Bulgarian, Serbian, Montenegrin and Bosnian dish made of corn flour, potato and, sometimes, feta cheese or skorup. Similar to the Italian polenta, it is prepared by boiling the mixture thick or rare depending on taste, and then mashing while the pot is still on the fire. It is usually served with milk, plain Yogurt, sour cream or sometimes with bacon. Although it was once regarded as a poor man's food, it has grown into the everyday cuisine and is often found in restaurants.
A small curiosity is that the term most probably comes from Turkish kaçamak - usually used when someone committed a slightly naughty act that should be hidden.
