"They both loved good food. Krleža liked choice food, but he ate little. Mrs. Bela loved to dip a morsel of bread in the baking juice on the serving plate, to which Krleža always reacted: - But, Belice! – And she would retort: - Well, I'm fine. That's just us locals, so why not soak the bread in this delicious baking sauce! –“
