Abstract: In this paper I will analyse two directions in which selective tradition operates in the case of Žrnovo foodways. The first refers to makaruni, a special type of pasta that over time became a representative heritage food for Žrnovo, Korčula Island, Croatia, and a strong marker of its identity. The second direction follows the developments around a once typical, but a now forbidden Žrnovo food.
