  1. My husband calls it Cidak. I make it for him every Easter but no sugar. i usually add peppercorns.

    1. Thank you for your comment. Yes, it is quite common to prepare salty version of hrudka (or syrek/cidek as you call it) with peppercorn and herbs or the sweet version with dried fruits. I wish you a beautiful day.
