/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>14330257
probably something like

Greek = Bulgarian > Turkey > The rest is inedible old world horrors

>>14330257
for me me, its sirene cheese

>>14330274
Have you tried Croatian/Serbian/Bosnian food?
It's amazing as well.

I went on a 10 day tour around ex-yugo and the food was fucking good.
I have to agree that Greeks do the best and most amazing roast lamb and pastry though.
Turkish Grill is the best too.

>>14330257
Okay.

>>14330287
What kinda bread you got there chief? Those sausages look good.

>>14330277
Does it taste like feta?

>>14330274
as a bulgarian i think greek and turkish cuisines are generally better developed and more varied than ours, but i'd still say we beat out the rest of the balkans. yugos have good grilled shit and pastries. can't think of any redeeming qualities of romanian cuisine. their feta-like cheese, telemea is damn good i guess.
slovene cuisine seems to be more central european than balkan from what i've seen

>>14330554
The bread is “lepinja” (leh-pin-yah). Very similar to pita bread.

Those sausage you see are called “ćevapi” (cheh-vah-pi). Think of it as the Balkan cousin of breakfast sausages.

We usually serve these two items together with a roasted eggplant and red pepper dip called “ajvar” (eye-var), a Balkan style cream cheese product called “kajmak” (kai-mock) and chopped raw onions (although I prefer mine grilled/fried)

This ensemble is generally served as a single dish, and is very common across the former Yugoslavia.

t. Croatian

>>14330730
yeah it does. it's a bit saltier and less milky than feta, but it's pretty similar.

>>14330257
Where my Bulgarian niggas at
P.S. there is no "best cuisine", but Balkan cuisine is incredibly underrated

>>14330274
>The rest is inedible old world horrors
Not really, at it's worst it's just a bit simple, but there aren't any weird recipes as far as I know

>>14331402
She has skills!

>>14331455
>at it's worst it's just a bit simple

Pretty much this. It’s tasty, but not something you’d see at a fancy restaurant. If you like meat, potatoes and cabbage, then you’ll be fine.

BUREK, burek best food good food best best bureeeek

>>14332429
Don't forget the sour cream, sour cream, sour cream, dill and sour cream.

>>14332446
Even better

>>14332446
and kajmak and ajvar and ljutenica and pindzur and ...

>>14332444
A greasy burek with meat served with yogurt is just amazing

>>14330834
It would never occur to me to compare lepinja to pita bread, I would say another difference is that lepinja is usually also toasted on fat after baking when served with ćevapi. Other than that, spot on explanation.

We have a huge numbers of yugos here in Switzerland but I never happened to see a yugos restaurant... I wonder if they're themselves ashamed of their Cuisine

Interestingly a lot of albanians open up "Italian" restaurants, with fake Italian names and Italian flags everywhere, also I never saw an actual albanian restaurant

>>14332830
At least in Germany back when Yugoslavia still existetd there were lots of Yugo restaurants from what older guys say, because Yugoslavia was a popular holiday country. I'd guess after what happened in the 90s nobody wanted to eat Yugo stuff anymore.

>>14332718
I've always wondered why nobody anywhere else seems to give a fuck about kajmak. It's probably the best thing to put on bbq meat. It's like a salty cross between butter and cheese, so fucking good. Do other countries have it and I just don't know what it's called?
>>14332810
Too bad good burek is a thing of the past, there are probably like 4 places in the entirety of Belgrade where it isn't complete ass.
>>14332830
Gastarbeiters usually aren't the most entrepreneurial people. Not just that but you need a lot of money to start a restaurant especially in Switzerland and theres a very high failure rate for restaurants in general + our food isn't exactly well known. It makes a lot more sense for immigrants to work normal jobs, live in a frugal way and then move back to their home country with some savings in old age.

>>14332868

Sad, it would be nice to have more variety... We've got Thai and Italian restaurants everywhere

>>14332868
That's a shame about the burek, but I've been hoping to try to make one myself, properly, with homemade dough. I've made it already a couple of times with phyllo though and it was great.
Also I've been told that the right way to make the dough for burek is to keep it in a mix of lard and oil for half an hour which doesn't sound wrong to me but I've never heard of it before.

>mfw a whole balkan thread w/o shit flinging
50 grams of Sirene™, grated

2-4 finely diced cloves of garlic
Mix. Split between two plates .
Poach 4 eggs . 2 eggs per plate.

In a pan melt butter on low to mid

>>14330730
It's way better

>>14333057
Forgot measurement for butter. You only need 20-30 grams .

>>14330257
Ottoman Turkish heritage :)

I wish balkan foods were more common where I live. Every experience I've had so far has been good.

>>14330257

It is well known that the Ottomans have taken many things from the Balkans.

>>14333269
No you fucking retard. The balkans (also a turkish word btw it means forested mountains) were turkish for 700 years and copied turkish culture wholesale.

>>14333276
>copied turkish culture wholesale.
Not really. Most of us aren't muslim and while there are some cultural similarities (definitely for food, we took a lot of their stuff), it's nowhere near wholesale.

Many of you are christian ottomans. its a thing. it is wholesale. it is also why you have a perpetual identity crisis because you feel you must deny it and pretend it isn't so.

>>14333292
This food is eaten where-ever turks went. from delhi sultanate india (with more spices in many cases but the same recipe) to the balkans. cope.

>>14333303
Standard fare with a dumb foreigner thinking he knows better than people that live here lol no worried bud keep it up.

>>14333302
дa
>>14333306
why are you replying to me? you don't even know what i'm saying.

Consider how much American influence there is in the Balkans and that's only a 30 year cultural supremacy. Now consider 700+ years (in some parts of bulgaria and greece it is closer to 800 years). You are ottoman-people. You have turkish culture. It is not something you can erase. You can merely try to deny it like a schizo and have mental illness and societal-psychosis.

>>14333308
>Standard fare with a dumb foreigner thinking he knows better than people that live here lol no worried bud keep it up.
I know that it conflicts with your agenda of pretending to be dutch protestant europeans so that the Eu supports you. I know that it conflicts with your internal romantic nationalist propaganda designed by russian academics. Cope.

nobody is saying there isnt an influence of turk food on balkan food you inbred baboon fuck off already. always has to be one annoying twat like you in threads like this.

>>14333344
You schizo. Every single food item you have and eat and celebrate is demonstrably, provably turkish. You ONLY eat it because TURKS owned that clay and you were part of Turkey.

>>14333346
No, I said kajmak. I don’t care what mutts call it

>>14333354
>nobody is saying there isnt an influence of turk food on balkan food you inbred baboon fuck off already. always has to be one annoying twat like you in threads like this.
Its not 'an influence'. There is maybe 'an influence' of austrian or italian food. The core and essence and substance of balkan food is Turkish food.

Like you are Turks who are christian. simple as.

>>14333356
yup, i said as much in my post which you would have understood if you actually knew the languages like you claimed
you're only a shitposter interested in being cancer. like i said already: ok great, you're right, you can leave now.

>>14333358
>The word kaymak has Central Asian Turkic origins, possibly formed from the verb kaymak, which means melt and molding of metal in Turkic.[1] The first written records of the word kaymak is in the well-known book of Mahmud al-Kashgari, Dīwān Lughāt al-Turk. The word remains as kaylgmak in Mongolian, and with small variations in Turkic languages as qaymaq in Azerbaijani, qaymoq in Uzbek, қaймaқ in Kazakh and Shor, кaймaк in Kyrgyz, kaymak in Turkish[1], gaýmak in Turkmen, კაიმაღი (kaimaghi) in Georgian, and καϊμάκι (kaïmáki) in Greek.

This is like Americans liking Pho and claiming that it is actually American. Or Samoans claiming that American food like spam is actually Samoan.

You were basically german-cuisine tier. Yes.

>>14333367
>chickens
yes.
>garlic
probably.
>yogurt
absolutely.
>The word is derived from Turkish: yoğurt,[6] and is usually related to the verb yoğurmak, "to knead", or "to be curdled or coagulated; to thicken".[6] It may be related to yoğun, meaning thick or dense. The sound ğ was traditionally rendered as "gh" in transliterations of Turkish from around 1615–1625.[6] In modern Turkish the letter ğ marks a diaeresis between two vowels, without being pronounced itself, which is reflected in some languages' versions of the word (e.g. Greek γιαούρτι giaoúrti, French yaourt, Romanian iaurt).

Always got along well with people from Balkans. Except turks, fuck turks.
Also what's with them and wearing gold chains and big as fake gold gaudy rings. Also every Albanian here has a Mercedes, even if there house is falling apart, they got a new Mercedes. Must be really status obsessed.

American here, they never even taught us about your shitty countries. But I know the boot is Italy

Balkan threads are best threads

Canadian here, I just came in here to poke the powderkeg and say that I hope Erdogan shacks up with Putin so they can be on the losing side of WW3 and we finally get to enforce all of Sevres

Learning serbocroat atm. How do i pronounce the aj in words? I saw earlier anon spell out the pronunciation for ajvar with "eye-var." Is that always the case? Is daj in dajte pronunced "die-tay?" Ive been pronouncing it like i would for da, "dah-tay."

Does the j do that to other vowels? Like broj should be pronounced "bro-i?" Hvala brati!

>>14335989
>Is daj in dajte pronunced "die-tay?”

First half right, second half kinda off. “Die-tay” would be written like “Dajtej” (not a word) but the correct pronunciation would be more like “Die-teh”.

But that is a good observation on your part. “Aj” will be pronounced as “eye” in 99.9% of cases, as in “čaj” (ch-eye) and “majka” (my-kah), for example.

Good luck in your studies, anon!

>>14335989

if the j is at the end of the word it's usually pronounced as an i : Broj (broi), znoj (znoi), loj , daj (dai), znaj (znai).
