We actually had Burek for dinner on Thursday! 😂 There's this bakery that does Balkan baked goods and we buy it from there. We started buying it during Lent because they have some vegetarian version with feta and spinach.
Their bread is also incredible. They have this sort of wood-oven flatbread and we eat it with stuff from our favorite Turkish delikatessen.
Bavaria has a lot of people from southeastern Europe because of the wars.
yeah, the Sorbs and their seed truly are a prodigious high quality cohort
and they all love germany, thus the gastarbeiter meme, and how many germanic words they use
all i can say is that their language is prettier and more elegiant, similar, grammatically but a much easier thing to wrap your tongue around
honestly, when i think of which ethnic group i want my near future wife to be
yugoslavian. end of.

If you took the Slavs out of Germany, the eastern half would be empty of people. Including me! 😂
My mom's family is Bohemian. From Egerland. They were driven out, after the war, but they're actually more Czech than German, according to her DNA test.
yes, eastern germany is really western yugoslavia
Our village, too. So many of the wives are Slavic. Amazing.
you can find crap food in every country
you can find mostly good food in yugoslavia, you have to go there to see it... belgrade, novi sad, banja luka, sarajevo... maybe sarajevo is the crappiest, but also the most muslim
oh yeah... uzice... home of the most amazing egg and bread breakfast dish ever invented, the Komplet Lepinja
i was super disappointed i didn't get to actually eat one! the fools! but i was fed one by a boy from that town a couple years before i went there and it was so energising ...
I have a thing for shakshuka
i'm not familiar with that... looks like some kind of egg borscht
It's paprika and tomatoes, instead of beets. And a bit spicy.
i wasn't aware that borscht was beets... never been that interested tbh, but i ate a lot of tomato based soups in serbia
tomatoes are new to europeans, only after tehy came back from south america
every so often i see ladies around madeira who look classically yugoslavian... even the golden curls and the pudgy noses and the sound of portuguese is so similar to yugoslavian, it's almost like the vulgar latin skipped spain but spread west and east... the sound is so delightful
My very first job in Germany was at a Turkish delikatessen, so I actually know how to make all the pastes and salads, and things. But I usually just buy it because then I get 10 different things, instead of one or 2.
yeah, the turks do it pretty good too...
bulgarians are terrible at it though, in the big cities
but out in the villages the bulgarians make good food, it just isn't the same standart overall as serb/croat/bosnian/montenegrin... and true to the language, the macedonians are a bit meh also at this stuff... both of them caved in to the pig-chicken centric garbage of EU the moment they were asked
