What's your favorite Balkan food?
Dude, awesome video! My favorite balkan food is definitely cevapi
We have been traveling around the Balkans for 2 months and we have LOVED the flakey pies. Our favorite was probably the zeljanica (spinach and cheese), but we also enjoyed the krompiraca (potato), sirnica (cheese), tikvara (pumpkin), and the burek (meat).

There is not such a thing as "all their own" in balkans. We shared the culture expecially the food
@@denissaliaj9459 Yeah, but we do have Ajvar atleast. 😄
@@bananamen2316 crushed peppers? Which country doesnt have crushed peppers? Pepper trade came from the sea. Do you have a coast? From Southern America to Spain then ofc to Venice. Durrës was part of Venice so of course we would have had peppers and ajvar way before you bulgarians had it. ❤ 🌶 still there is nothing wrong with it i know for instance that bulgars had yoghurt way before we did 🇦🇱 🇧🇬 dried peppers marinated oiled etc are ways of preservation so ofc its a Ship/Storage Food.
I am from Australia 🇦🇺 but i come to Australia when i was 4 years old, my background is Macedonian 🇲🇰 every time i go back to my country Macedonia i cry 😢 how much i miss it the country the people something about it that draws me to Macedonia amen 🙏 will never stop going back ✈️ we are so blessed 🙌 we can travel
My parents got killed by Macedonians NOT by Albaniabs remember that, Macedonia was, is and always be a poor bad place
Quick question. I was born in Chicago but all my family is from Macedonia. I'm really wanting to move to Brisbane (good weather and low crime rate, compared to here) and was wondering how hard it is to get citizenship in Australia as an American? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
@@davidalexander843 Brisbane is a great city. But it's pretty difficult to get Australian citizenship. You'd have to marry an Aussie girl or have a very valuable skill that employers need.
The food looks great over there.
The food looks amazing and so does Skopje. I need to put this place on my list! 😁

Went for the first time last year the food is insane. I am from Australia but have Macedonian background, and just want to say how soothing it is hearing you call us by our name "Macedonia" and nothing else.
Hopefully you visit again, locals love tourists and look after them well! 😁
Well you went to Skopje but only tried the food in Carsija which is very mice but there is so much more you’ve missed :)
Try the wine and the rakiya.
This was an amazing video but you should have tried pastermalija wich is like meat pie and try musaka wich is actually greek but instead of using eggplants we use potatoes

13:16 in Bulgaria we add more of this sweet sauce in the cake. It's very tasty❤
people from these balkan nations get on edge if you mention the name ottoman, because when you say ottoman people think turkish xD and these balkan nations are too proud for all that. But to some extent i understand, because the ottoman empire wasnt just turkish, but multiethnic. The balkans were an essential and important part of the empire, contributing to its developement. So these traditions and cultures and food are not simply turkish (ottoman), or macedonian or greek or whatever, they are shared between all of us... I just wish we would all choose a common name to call them, something that belongs to all of us. Like when foreigners use bakan hahah, only balkan has a lot of negative conotations, so maybe we will pick some other term later on 😅
when he called xhiza yogurt 😑

Mekitsi are made when a baby is born and brought to the home. Tavce gravce, traditional beans cooked in clay pot is hearty. The language is Albanian, I don’t even hear them speaking Macedonian! Kashkaval and feta are everywhere. The Ohrid trout is only found in Lake Ohrid and is delicious in soup. Shopska salata is the best! You need a baba to feed you…it’s the only way to feast in MK!
And you need to try boza too!

Which ancient historian states that the city of Skopia or Scupi was part of Macedonia?
Which Ancient Historian claims that all of Macedonia including the south which is now: "Northern Greece" my arse is Greek? Including Alexander the Great. Yet, they were known simply as Hellas - Greek cities!
Have you read anywhere or heard a professor mention Alexander the Great King of Greece? Yet he belongs to them just like the name Macedonia. They don't even know what religion they are, they swing from Catholic to Orthodox.
They celebrate Christmas in December when in fact if you are a true Orthodox it's in January, and they celebrate Easter with the rest of the Orthodox nations. Go figure.
So Captain Jack, before you go on further with your BS Scupi Greek invented name. I suggested you zip your mouth cause I have a lot to say.

You mentioned being to Bulgaria, but it seems it's not in your videos. Maybe I'm missing something. Anyway, I appreciate your detailed story about Skopje, covering all aspects and controversies. I'm bulgarian and so far few channels have spoken about the bulgarian point of view, since Greece has a bigger international influence.
I'll keep following your travels through the Balkans, stay safe !

Ok, why didnt you go to a traditional macedonian restaurant? Why didn't you go to small local places to try food that is part of our culture. I really think you were misinformed by albanians that we as macedonians do not have our culture, but duuude you are so wrong. Everything you have filmed in macedonia so far seems like paid albanian propaganda. Try searcing macedonian culture, our music, our dances, our meals, our rituals, our monasteries, our caves, etc. Im everything but nationalist but this is not cool. Do your research

Now, why is that?
THE TRUTH ABOUT MACEDONIA & WHY GREEKS WON’T ADMIT AND WANT YOU TO KNOW
Here we go again! This is just typical of the Greek-biased machine spinning its wheels of deceit.
Greece claims that the name "Macedonia" is exclusively Greek and no one except Greece has a right to use it. If that were true then why hasn´t Greece complained about other countries, the USA for example, using the name "Macedonia" for several of its towns eg: a county in Ohio, USA. There are approximately 21 places called Macedonia in this world including the USA, Columbia, Romania, and Brazil.
What Greece means is that ‘it doesn´t want the country Macedonia’ to use this name. However, if anyone has any right to use this name then, for obvious reasons, it should be Macedonia the country!
Aside from the fact that the name Macedonia was NEVER Greek, not in prehistoric, not in ancient, not in medieval and not in modern times, then how does Greece justify the name "Macedonia" being Greek? Well, in this case, Greece doesn´t have to justify anything; it only has to "declare" because that is how Greece has been operating over the last two centuries, unchallenged!
You see, Greece has been "allowed" to get away with all sorts of things like declaring (not justifying or proving) that Greece is a homogeneous nation and all Greeks are descendants of the ancient Greeks. In this regard Greece has been "allowed" to push the envelope to the limit, bordering on the "bizarre", without ever being asked to explain itself or justify these claims. Now, if Greece can claim it is a homogeneous nation of pure Greeks, descendants of the ancient Greeks, without once being challenged, then why not "declare" that the word "Macedonia" is Greek and only Greek? Who is going to dispute that?
If Greece can answer when did the name "Macedonia" become "exclusively Greek"? only after it discovered that the Republic of Macedonia (North Macedonia) now, was about to declare its independence from the Yugoslav Federation in 1991. Why didn´t Greece voice concerns in 1945 when the Republic of Macedonia became a Republic in the Yugoslav Federation by using exactly that very same name? Why the concern after all these years?
Was it by any chance that when the Republic of Macedonia declared its independence from the Yugoslav Federation, Greece was caught by surprise and didn´t know what else to do so it "invented" the name issue!
Greece, for almost a century, has been struggling to smother the Macedonian identity living on its own soil since Greece illegally invaded, occupied and annexed Macedonian lands. Then all of a sudden an entire nation of Macedonians gained their independence just next door. Panic-stricken, not knowing what to do, Greece invented a problem in hopes of putting the Macedonians on the defensive.
What if these Macedonians started to complain about how their compatriots in Greece were treated over the years? What if those who were wronged, exiled, had their citizenship taken away, had their lands and properties confiscated, families and relatives jailed, abused and murdered, what if they start complaining? We can´t have the world know about that now can we? So, why not then "invent" a problem for the Macedonians to focus on; like they can´t have the name "Macedonia" because that name is exclusively Greek!
If Greece suddenly assumed "the victim role" and without being provoked declared, as it is used to falsely declare, that "Big bad Macedonia" wants to usurp their so-called "Greek name" because this nation of bad people has "territorial aspirations" towards its own non-existent northern province also called "Macedonia", then perhaps it could get some attention. Perhaps if it screamed "rape and murder" long and loud enough then someone might hear and come to its rescue.
Greece could only have done this in panic mode and without thinking because it doesn´t take a genius to figure out that:
(1) Greece acquired these territories that it calls its "northern province of Macedonia", which by the way did not exist as a province, illegally and by war and conquest, and
(2) The Macedonian territories never at any time belonged to any Greeks. Macedonia never belonged to the so-called ancient Greeks and Macedonia never belonged to the artificially created Modern Greeks.
Greece has successfully created a "distraction" for the Macedonian people, particularly for the Macedonian authorities, leading them to focus on non-issues like the so-called "name dispute" instead of focusing on the real problems that the Macedonian people have with Greece, that Greece is desperately trying to avoid and to cover-up.
And what may these problems be?
Well, for starters not having recognized the Macedonian minority living inside Greece! and Greece does not want to recognize a Macedonian minority because Greece´s aim all along has been to "eradicate" the Macedonian identity. Why would Greece want to recognize people which, for more than a century, it has been hell-bent on eradicating?
In its attempt to extinguish the Macedonian identity, Greece illegally expropriated Macedonian lands and committed many atrocities against the Macedonian people. Greece, for example, has been exiling Greek citizens because they were Macedonians and for years has been expropriating their properties and lands without compensation.
So where does Greece stand with regard to the Macedonians?
One can´t trust what Greece says; one has to observe what Greece does and how it behaves around the Macedonian issue in order to understand what is going on! Who is better qualified to give you insight into Greece regarding the Macedonian questions than a Macedonian, who has relatives who lived and experienced Greece first-hand.
Greece´s aim is to eradicate the Macedonian existence once and for all. It is not that Macedonians don´t exist it is Greece´s adamant wish that Macedonians do not exist that gives away its attitude towards them and its long-term aim to eradicate them.
Since it conceived the idea of "acquiring Macedonian lands", Greece has been fanatical in its aim to deny the Macedonian existence. That fanatical attitude has not changed from the day it acquired Macedonian lands to this day. Today when Macedonians are recognized worldwide, Greece still aggressively maintains they don´t exist. This is why Greece´s behaviour has nothing to do with the "name" and everything to do with the Macedonian identity. Greece wants to destroy by removing the name from the Macedonian people and removing the Macedonian identity. not only inside Greece but everywhere, including inside the Republic of Macedonia ( North Macedonia).Also, the name, the language, the Macedonian ethnic identity, everything! Just as it had destroyed everything Macedonian inside Greece by denying the Macedonian existence, by changing peoples´ surnames to a Greek surname, by renaming the Macedonian towns and rivers to a Greek name. Macedonians living there were forbidden to speak the Macedonian language, they had to speak and claim they are Greek. Erasing Macedonian writing, by destroying Macedonian monuments, Greece has for a long time and even today attempted to do the same outside of Greece. By banning the Macedonian language, assimilating the Macedonian population into the Greek fold and by exiling, torturing and murdering the nonconformists, Greece has amply proven its hatred for the Macedonian people both inside its own borders and outside.
Greece doesn´t care about the name It never did since 1913 when it acquired Macedonian lands right up until 1991 when back then the Republic of Macedonia declared its independence. Every Macedonian knows and those who experienced life in Greece know first-hand about Greece´s hatred for that name and everything it represents. For almost a century Greece has desperately tried to bury that name in the darkness of hell.
Many Macedonians know very well that (1) Greece is not after the name. The name was only a ploy, a ruse to distract them from focusing on real issues.
The name Macedonia is a name that has existed for over 3,000 years; a name passed on to them by countless generations, a name that is not theirs to "negotiate", bargain with, sell, or give away!
The Macedonians, particularly those in charge, have been blinded and deafened by this "name dispute" and forgotten the real issues.
1. The name "Macedonia" is autochthonous and belongs to the Region and to those who lived in that region the longest. Only they have the right to call themselves "ethnic Macedonians"; not the recent settlers, invaders, and conquerors who acquired it by force of arms.

Really?
As i know Skopje in 1900 had only 150 albanian families in the ottoman census.
According to the statistics of the Bulgarian ethnographer Vasil K'nchov ( Macedonia. Ethnography and Statistics ) since 1900 , 31,900 people lived in Skopje, of which 13,000 Macedonians , 15,000 Turks , 1,920 Roma , 800 Jews , 450 Vlachs , 150 Christian Albanians , 50 Greeks , 30 Circassians and about 500 others. [11]
In 1948 in Skopje census lived 52.000 macedonians and around 5000 albanians.
How is possibile that it is albanian city? Did you informed about it or just talking ?
The old bazar in Skopje was made by turks! Albanians were only soldiers of the ottomans, this is why there are many albanians in the old bazar lol
