The aim is to measure the quantitative aspects that are identified in the four qualitative consumer studies, WP 5,6,7,8. The main purpose of this work package is, eventually to quantify with the same methodology the different aspects of food behaviour, image and values that are given to food product by local consumers and that would have been identified in the previous case studies work packages. The objective is to obtain quantifiable data on several aspects: • Understanding of consumer behaviour related to food (main habits, drivers and demands) – consumer purchasing, cooking and eating behaviour and habits, • Understanding of perceptions and attitudes concerning different aspects of food products – health dimensions, modern vs. traditional, attitudes toward special product categories (fruit, vegetables, meat and fish, fat, dairy products, bread…), • Understanding the implication of consumer trends for products in focus of our interest, • Understanding how people live and plan their lives – life style of consumers, • Understanding of consumers’ segmentation (concerning attitudes, demographic profile, psychology, purchasing models). IPSOS lead this quantitative study and frame the data collection process with the appropriate scientific requirements and methods. FOCUS-BALKANS DL 9.2_partie1.doc FP7 KBBE 2007 1 4 GA 212579 1. Presentation at the 1st open Seminar in Belgrade The 1st Open Seminar took place last October in Belgrade. It focused on the results of the quantitative survey undertaken by IPSOS Strategic Puls, which surveyed over 3 000 consumers in the WBCs. 120 participants attended this seminar, and 4 movies have been made and put on the web site of the project. FOCUS-BALKANS DL 9.2_partie1.doc Consumer quantitative survey -WP9 - © 2009 Ipsos 1 Consumer quantitative survey Quantitative research in FB The main aim of quantitative research of WP9 in Focus Balkans project is analysis of drivers and determinants of food consumption behavior in targeted segments (fruit, food with health claims, organic food and traditional food) in WBC To measure the quantitative aspects that are identified in the four qualitative consumer studies: WP 5, 6, 7, 8 To quantify with the same methodology different aspects of food behavior, image and values, that are given to food product by local consumers in all 6 WB countries © 2009 Ipsos Consumer quantitative survey Quantitative research in Focus Balkans – methodology Data collection method: ad hoc face-to-face survey, performed at respondents’ home Target population: citizens of WBC aged 18+ Questionnaire size: approx. 20 minutes Sample size: 3085 in total, around 500 per country Sampling frame: based on the data from Census, vital statistics and the migration data Sample type: national representative, 3-staged stratified sample © 2009 Ipsos Consumer quantitative survey THEORETICAL BACKGROUND The aim of the quantitative survey is not to test one specific theory, but to give more precise data about attitudes toward and consumption of targeted product in WBC. It is difficult for 4 product categories (fruit, organic, traditional products and products with health claims) to find one model which fits for explanation for consumption of all products. Different models are useful for different predictions: . Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen & Fishbein, 1980) – strong in predicting rational consumer behavior preceded by cognitive processes, wit high personal involvement . Different dual models: MODE model (Fazio, 1990; Fazio & Towles- Schwen, 1999) & Purchase cube model (Baumgartner, 2002) & In the dual-process model of (Kahneman, 2003) strong in predicting automatic, spontaneous consumer behaviors with low involvement .

  • National Dish
    National dish From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_dish A national dish is a culinary dish that is strongly associated with a particular country.[1] A dish can be considered a national dish for a variety of reasons: • It is a staple food, made from a selection of locally available foodstuffs that can be prepared in a distinctive way, such as fruits de mer, served along the west coast of France.[1] • It contains a particular 'exotic' ingredient that is produced locally, such as the South American paprika grown in the European Pyrenees.[1] • It is served as a festive culinary tradition that forms part of a cultural heritage—for example, barbecues at summer camp or fondue at dinner parties—or as part of a religious practice, such as Korban Pesach or Iftar celebrations.[1] • It has been promoted as a national dish, by the country itself, such as the promotion of fondue as a national dish of Switzerland by the Swiss Cheese Union (Schweizerische Käseunion) in the 1930s. Pilaf (O'sh), a national dish in the cuisines of Central Asia National dishes are part of a nation's identity and self-image.[2] During the age of European empire-building, nations would develop a national cuisine to distinguish themselves from their rivals.[3] According to Zilkia Janer, a lecturer on Latin American culture at Hofstra University, it is impossible to choose a single national dish, even unofficially, for countries such as Mexico, China or India because of their diverse ethnic populations and cultures.[2] The cuisine of such countries simply cannot be represented by any single national dish.

The project started in 2010 and finished in July 2012. Seven European countries participated in it – Croatia, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Poland and Spain. Members of the project group contributed to the creation of this material most importantly by providing the most essential information about their country but also in many other ways. The main idea of the project was to train “alternative” tour guides out of the unemployed, retired, students, housewives and other socially deprived categories of people who, however, have genuine interest in their country, their culture, customs, language, and who might be interested in sharing their knowledge and expertise with visitors to their country. One of the aims of the project was to raise awareness of the local values which often remain hidden from the eyes of the public, as well as initiate and encourage the researching and learning skills.

Б: Е сад, како бисмо објаснили шта је кисели купус? А: Кисели купус. Кисели купус је заправо само најобичнији купус који је стајао дуже време у сланој води. То је заправо јело које постоји у Немачкој. Немци јако много једу кисели купус па верујем да се заправо он троши, само што није толико познат и коришћен као у Србији. Он је, како да кажем... Просто добио укус, зачињен, као салата рецимо, киселкаст... Б: Да, није нешто ни слатко ни слано, негде између. Доста подсећа на јела из кинеских ресторана, али је врло присутно као додатак у многим другим... Многим српским јелима. На пример, сарма. Сарма је једно српско јело које је млевено месо са неким зачинима и често пиринчем, омотано у лист... А: Да, обичним, бибер, со и... Умотано у листове киселог купуса. Једноставно, кад се месо издинста, скува пиринач, помеша, дода се мало сланинице, сланине; сланина је, да, свуда је има, умота се у листове киселог купуса тако да све изгледа као, као неке ролнице рецимо, као ролнице; и онда се наслаже у шерпу и све се то дуго, дуго, дуго, дуго, дуго, више сати, по четири-пет сати крчка. Иначе сва српска јела су... Већина српских јела се јако дуго кува; пасуљ, сарма, подварак, то се све из више фаза кува. Обично се прво кува по сат-два, онда се или крчка у рерни или се запече или..

  • Balkan Culinary Nationalism and Ottoman Heritage
    Kevin Kenjar March 5, 2007 Balkan Culinary Nationalism and Ottoman Heritage Of the many and varied vestiges left by the Ottoman Empire in southeastern Europe, perhaps the most prominent stamp has been left in the kitchen. While borders shift and empires come and go, sometimes as quickly as it takes for a despondent diplomat to affix a seal onto a treaty, culinary traditions are often slow to change due to the nature in which they are promulgated. Culinary traditions are often passed down along a familial, and historically maternal, line, with each new generation learning the recipes, eating habits, and tastes of their ancestors. This almost genealogical reproduction of culture, combined with the regional specificity that has historically limited cuisine prior to the advent of consumerist culture, has made culinary tradition a prime candidate for national sentimentalists. In the desire to portray ‘national culture’ as something unique and externally bounded, culinary traditions have gained powerful symbolic value; national dishes not only serve as the expression of the national spirit, but the very substance with which the national spirit is fed. However, due to the relatively recent diffusion of romantic nationalism into the former Ottoman lands in Europe (i.e. the Balkans), not to mention the duration of Ottoman rule, many of the culinary traditions deemed as “national” are not particular to a specific nation, but rather relatively common throughout the lands of the former empire. However, taking into consideration that it is a common
