In Greece, the traditional Easter meal is mageiritsa, a hearty stew of chopped lamb liver and wild greens seasoned with egg-and-lemon sauce. Traditionally, Easter eggs, hard-boiled eggs dyed bright red to symbolize the spilt Blood of Christ and the promise of eternal life, are cracked together to celebrate the opening of the Tomb of Christ.

In Neapolitan cuisine, the main Easter dishes are the casatiello or tortano, a savoury pie made with bread dough stuffed with various types of salami and cheese, also used the day after Easter for outdoor lunches. Typical of Easter lunches and dinners is the fellata, a banquet of salami and capocollo and salty ricotta. Typical dishes are also lamb or goat baked with potatoes and peas. Easter cake is the pastiera.

In Russia, red eggs, kulich and paskha are Easter traditions.

In Serbia, paretak are traditional Easter pastries.

In Ukraine, there are several traditional Easter foods including paska (bread) and cheesecake desserts.[1]

gollark: It is IN NO WAY subliminal pizza advertising because I DO NOT work for pizza companies in any form. __*This is NOT true*__. I have not in any way been sponsored by pizza companies. There have been no advertising agreements whatsoever with any companies producing pizza or otherwise to have me subliminally advertise pizza, as my profile picture is not a pizza. *Since it is not a pizza*, this is obviously not pizza advertisement whatsoever. No monetary exchanges or otherwise have occurred with companies engaged in pizza production for any reason relating to my profile picture. *It's not pizza.* There were no deals, under-the-table or otherwise, with pizza companies. No pizza companies pay for any kind of subliminal advertising involving me. **I'm DEFINITELY not** paid by pizza companies to have ANY subliminal pizza advertising, actually. It is not a pizza. People say that it's subliminal advertising for the delicious pepperoni pizza offered by PizzaCo, but really it's not. __It has never been a pizza__. My profile picture is not, will not, has not been and cannot be, in any way whatsoever, a pizza.
