Probably most popular Croatian traditional dishes are: Purica s mlincima, Pašticada, Kotlovina, Štrukli, Black risotto, Peka, Fritule, Paštafažol, Brudet ect
@@MultiRispo Sarma is actually Turkish (Otoman) traditional dish, although very popular in Croatia it is not traditional Croatian dish. Sinjski arambašići are traditional Croatian variation of that dish :)
@@EvanRamani you must go to the tourist office and ask when the competition in Fish Cauldron is in Slavonia then you will see that Dalmatians have no idea how to prepare fish 😁
The fact that Croatian kitchen is in fact mix of Influences. Living in continental Croatia the best for me are the meals with roots from Turkish and Hungarian kitchen. Turkish: all sorts of grilled meat like Ćevapi and Pljeskavica, stuffed vegetables like Sarma and Punjene paprike, than meals from dough: Burek, different pitas etc. Hungarian influence with its red paprika which is added in various meals like different Gulash ( čobanac,), sausages like Kulen and kobasica, river fish dishes like Fiš paprikaš etc. Not less important is Viennese (Austrian) kitchen influence with various dishes like Strudel, Knodel and off course Schnitzel. So, we have very very rich and diverse kitchen and all of that is enriched with a litlle bit of our way of cooking. In Dalmatia you have Mediterranean cuisine with Italian influences. So choose as you wish and enjoy. Such a diversity you won't find anywhere else in Balkan. And just to add, Croatia is only half Balkan. That's the root of this diversity.
Outrageous - here an undereducated Balkanese stuck in the former Yugoslavia explains to me that I do not exist as a Croat. The fact that after the war Zagreb was flooded by uneducated newcomers, without any awareness of who we Croats are, does not mean that the statements of these uneducated newcomers are accurate. Not even with regard to our eating habits, our cuisine.
Try some kulen and cvarci and slanina as well as fish paprikash from Slavonija/ Baranja region, dalmatian and istrian prosciutto, istrian pasta with truffles and olive oil, dalmatian fish and octopus ''ispod peke''', scampi on buzara or on grill from primorje region, janjetina (lamb) ''ispod peke'', roasted pig (odojak) with baked potatoes, Purica (turkey) s mlincima from Zagorje, livanjski and istarski cheese, black( squid ink) rissoto, pašticada, punjenje paprike ( stuffed bell peppers with minced meat and rice) and sarma ( similar as punjene paprike but instead of peppers its cabbage and its a different sauce. I think i covered 80 percent of national/ some regional top meals lol .
Thank you for that list! I appreciate it a lot! I will def try them. I might make a part two of croatian foods and just film while trying them. lol Thanks again and happy Easter!
@@EvanRamani I would soooo like to see you try sarma, filled paprika (punjena paprika), škampi na buzaru or dagnje, pura s mlincima, kulen, čvarci, paški sir (has a certificate of origin). I don't believe noone mentioned this to you who you asked. Those I mentioned are probably smth every single Croat has tried and regularly has at home. 😊
You have to ask what is the most popular food in Zagreb. If you go to other parts of the country you will get totally different answers. Every region is different.
You should trie Pura da Mlincima …. In the area of „Moslavina“ you can get it. There’s a restaurant called „Kezele“ check it out, it’s worth a day trip with friends, and order on time. Some foods require a pre-order.
Lady at 3:13 probably does not speaking english, she asked you Do you need something?, and probably if she were english speaker she would guided you really well.
I take my "Cevapcici" with few extra squirts of olive oil in my "lepinja" (bread), then also loaded with chopped onions and topped off with "ajvar" (red pepper and eggplant relish). Also, don't buy burek in regular bakery where it is mass produced like bread. Go to some mom and pop place where burek is all they make. You'll see and taste the diff.
That's Octopus! Someone else recommended it on tiktok too. Idk man, i've had bad a experience w/octopus but i'll try it soon to see if it's good. I might be going to Split. Was gonna stay in Zagreb but waited too long and most of the accommodation here is rented now lol
lol ya. Been too long. Tried to find it while i was in Ukraine...two places that were just crap. One got me sick for like 2 weeks. Seemed pretty simple to make, i thought lol. Have a great weekend Zoran!
Rozaliya and I had plans to go to multiple cities in Croatia but she's Ukrainian and has other responsibilities now because of war. I want to see Rijeka and other cities but with her since she wanted to see them. So, yes, but not now. Ajvar is tasty with everything! Even alone! one of the best things ever invented. I was buying it in Moldova from the store and it was below average there. Have a great day Esther!
@@momirkoo Balkan food is just on another level for sure! Have you tried the Struki? That's Croatian right? What am i talking about, there is like 99% chance that you already tried it lol. Curious what you think of it
@@EvanRamani Nothing special.. Actually i just tried to make a soft joke with croatians.. Ajvar, ćevapi mostly come from Serbian region... Because of that, no hard feelings.
you are boring with burek, cevapi and štrukli.... Best croatian food: Čobanac, Fiš-paprikaš, vinski/pivski gulaš, pašticada, peka, brudet, kotlovina....
i'm not Iranian. Nothing against Iranians but i'm not one. What cursing? You're talking about how i'm literally joking? about the different personality i acted out? Mari...It's supposed to be funny...i'm joking in the video. you don't enjoy my attempt at making people laugh, then just don't watch. You know? I won't be offended. Have a great night.
@zoranmarkovic1123 We bought it, but officially, zagorski štrukli is older in record. Croatian make them in many ways and are different and are way nicer and more famous .
@@annelentur This is simply not true, and if we are completely precise, this dish was created in Austria, in the environment of Austrian Slovenes and the very name of this dish is actually of German origin and not Slovenian, nor Croatian. The first evidence of the preparation of this dish dates back to the 16th century, when in 1589 the court chef in Graz wrote down a recipe for boiled tarragon štruklje. Boiled or baked štruklji were also a dish on monastery menus. As a middle-class holiday dish, it is said to have established itself in the 17th century, but even before that this dish was present on farms among the peasant population, today štruklji are often on the menus of restaurants and taverns as a side dish to meat and sauces or as an independent dessert. Some people mix the names of two different dishes, namely, one dish is štruklje, and the other is strudlji - (roll, originally swirl), which are usually dessert. In addition to štruklje, various other types of boiled and whitened dough such as zepki, žlinkrofi or krapci are known as specialties or unique specialties in Slovenian cuisine. Of course, there are many more, but I do not intend to list them here. I understand that you believe that you are right, because the domestic secular public convinces you of this, but what you claim is not true. I don't want to be offensive, but there are several examples of appropriation of Slovenian cuisine and winemaking by Croatia, but I don't want to discuss that either, but I wish you all the best.

I love when my mum makes Sarma or punjene paprike
Any home cooked meal with the locals is 1000 times better than anything you can get in the streets.

We were in Porec, they have one restaurant.... Oooh My God... I thought, there is no place in Europe could cook like this

My favorite Croatian dish is brudet, a spicy tomato-based fish stew, from the Dalmatian region.
Fish and tomato combo is fire!
Just watched your videos for 2mins and i love it already .
Subscribed & keep up the good work !!
