Wedding cabbage (Serbian: свадбарски купус / svadbarski kupus) is a traditional Serbian dish. The main ingredients are cabbage and meat, which could be pork, bacon, or lamb and mutton. This dish is typically prepared by cooking it slowly for many hours in a big crock. It is traditionally served at weddings and other major events.
Preparation
Layers of diced cabbage and meat are boiled in a crock.

The Cabbage festival is held annually in Mrčajevci, where a wedding cabbage competition is held. The winner receives a golden pot, and the runner-up receives a silver pot. In 2012, the festival was attended by more than 100,000 visitors in a three-day span.
