What Somun is
Soft flatbread dusted with flour, served with cevapi.
Somun is listed as a bakery item in the Bosnia and Herzegovina guide, where the index tags it vegetarian and mild. That is the useful shorthand, but it is not the whole story: the same name can cover a breakfast version, a street version and a restaurant version with different garnishes and prices.
