A new Deli shop was opened recently near my office. And now, I'm there three times a week. It's all small-scale production from a meat producer in Kumanovo, their own pig farm.

The taste of everything is phenomenal - when they ask me what I want to buy, I say "everything!".

Name of the shop is "Baba Marini" - which means "Gradma Maria's" in Macedonian.

They also sell wood oven-baked smoked pork meat. It's heaven! Didn't take a photo of it.

You can also buy some excellent Macedonian vine, specialty local cheeses, purified lard and other products

This was near my lake house in south of N. Macedonia.

It's a huge car, both wide and long. 7-seater, the last row backs fold and make a very big trunk.

Probably leftover from the former Yugoslavia times. I think it's a prop for a movie they are making in the area.
