Pihtije (Serbian Cyrillic: пихтије) pivtija (Macedonian: пивтија) or pača (Bulgarian Macedonian: пача) or piftie in Romanian is an aspic-like originally Serbian dish generally made from low grade pork meat such as the head shank and/or hock made into a semi-consistent gelatinous cake-like form. Some recipes also include smoked meat. Pihtije is commonly just one component of the traditional meal (or an appetizer) although it can be served as a main dish.
