(ooo that rhymed)
Been cooking a lot lately, trying to recreate dishes from places I want to visit or have passed through, and the Balkans keeps coming up as a region where the food varies way more than people expect. The gap between what you eat in Sarajevo versus what lands on the table in Thessaloniki versus a random grill spot in Belgrade is bigger than most travel content admits. The food content online tends to flatten everything into cevapi and baklava and call it a day, which is a disservice.
What I'm curious about is whether people from the region notice a sharp cutoff where the food culture changes, or if it's more of a gradual drift as you move through different areas. Certain techniques, spices, or dishes that are completely normal in one city and basically absent two hours down the road. I've been trying to figure out which recipes are genuinely regional and which ones got claimed by three different countries simultaneously, which seems to happen a lot based on what I read.
Also just want to know what the actual home cooking looks like versus the tourist restaurant version. Those two things are rarely the same and the home version is usually the one worth learning. ymmv depending on which family you land with I guess.
Just for knowledge purposes,
Could Balkans comment something about their culture?
I’m trying to get educated more on the region, would help a lot if i got small fun facts rather than having to read a big paragraph in Wikipedia (that explains literally the most basic thing on earth)
(Note: i know ‘Balkans’ isn’t one country, don’t think otherwise. I mean the general region, include your country before writing please...)
Представям ви Гориво - Балканизираната версия на Fuel, която записах това лято 🤘🏻
I'm from Montenegro, since I love history, over last years I realised some things nobody ever told me before while growing up. In fact, Albanias and people from Montenegro are very similar, yet still sometimes hate on each other in political way. Isn't it sad?
I've seen also d n a analysis done in Texas on males from tribes of Montenegro, it has shown that biggest tribe have same strongly dominant haplogr. as northern Albanians. How is this possible?
Usually, some Serbs use height as an argument. Actually, I noticed that Malisors are very tall, yet even Serbs out of Belgrade are usually shorter, so is irrelevant information.
I'm an orthodox, my tribes are Vasojevic, Kuci, Bjelopavlic. By d n a it has shown that we are same genetically to some northern Albanian tribes and people, which has shocked me honestly..
I love all Balkan countries normally, especially including ex Yugoslavia ones, but also Greece, Albania and Bulgaria.
What Montenegrins and Albanians think of this what I said, do they agree?
