4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks!This answer was the most accaptable because it was pure translation. Perfect! I already knew the explanation of the above saying, so that is not what I was looking for, but thanks to all who have tried to explain it further ! Your explanations were quite ineteresting. :) Above saying is actually made and commonly used by Bosnian "burek pie" lovers. They are simply trying to let people know that "burek pita" is above all other pies. :) Thanks again..."

igra riječi

Nema ekvivalenta u engleskom, to je samo igra riječi koja hoće reći da su sve pite ženskog roda (sirnica, zeljanica, krumpiruša...) dok je jedino burek (iako vrsta pite) muškog roda.

Pozdrav!

All the pies are queens, but burek is the king.

A može i ovako :)
