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 enskog roda (sirnica, zeljanica, krumpirua...) dok je jedino burek (iako vrsta pite) mukog roda.
Pozdrav!
