Cesnakom proti prasacej chrípke
Dopyt po cesnaku sa v Srbsku zvýšil po tom, čo ho ľudia začali jesť ako ochranu proti prasacej chrípke. Ako hovorí jeden obyvateľ Belehradu: z vakcíny sa môžete ochorieť, od cesnaku budete len zapáchať.
Belgrade's open-air markets were a welter of busy customers on Friday, pushing and shoving to buy one item - garlic.
In Serbia, garlic has long been regarded as a good luck charm and a guard against many ailments. As far as the public is concerned, that includes the swine flu pandemic, which recently has spread in Serbia and triggered near panic among the local population.
That is now evident in Belgrade's produce markets, where the price of garlic has shot up, thanks to a sudden increase in demand. The smell of the little white cloves also has become prevalent in public places as people munch on them as if eating apples.
"Garlic is the best, forget the vaccines," said Marko Jankovic, an elderly Belgrader, with the pungent smell of garlic obvious as he spoke at the crowded Kaleniceva Pijaca market. "From the vaccine, you can get sick. From garlic, you can only get bad breath."
