TOP 5 MACEDONIAN FOLK SONGS ABOUT FOOD

Macedonians love to eat. We even sang about food in our old folk songs. We also loooove to sing about drinking wine and rakija, but I'll make a separate drinking songs list :)
Macedonian folk songs are part of the rich folklore heritage of our people.
Folk songs originate from the farthest past. Their author is unknown (anonymous), and preserved with oral transmission from knee to knee.
Macedonian folk songs began to be recorded in the middle of the nineteenth century, during the Revival.
