My partner has just finished her seasonal job, so for her first day of holiday she wanted a brunch reminiscent of the ones we used to have at a lovely hotel in Helsinki.
And here’s how it turned out!
We decided to set everything up as a little hotel-style buffet, just to get back into the swing of things. It was quite fun!
On the menu: blinis, cream cheese, redcurrant jelly, Swedish meatballs (köttbullar), sausages, cucumber salad, Maasdam cheese, cinnamon rolls (kanelbullar), apples and kiwis.
Unlimited coffee, cultured milk and orange juice to go with it!
Gefüllte Paprika mit Krumpirnpüree, it was really good
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
