At beginning we drink RAKIJA. It can be made from plum, apricot, apple, pear...and my favorites quince❤️. You start with rakija and MEZE. Meze is a starter: smoked meat (different types), chees, KAJMAK and some salad.
Then you go for a main meal (soup or čorba, than some meat) and wine or beer.
At the and some dessert and coffee.
And you should seat in kafana for a hours😉😉😉😂
This is awesome information. I'm pinning your comment so everyone can see it!
We had meze in Turkey, but it changes in every country in the area, even in Spain we have something similar (tapas, aperitivo) but we don't have a dedicated drink, in Turkey was Raki and in Serbia is Rakija.
Lieles prefers Rakija over Raki and I like them both 😁😁😁
We just love learning about each individual country, its people and especially its food.
Thank you for this information!
@@TheMamuchos In Serbia kafana is a cult. It's about socialisation.
You go to restoran for hour or two. But in kafana you go by day and go out by night... or day but another😂😂. Depends of music💃💃💃. Is't live that means hole night stay.
One more thing. We have summer and winter meals. For exp. Sarma is a winter meal..
Awesome!
Yes I mentioned the sarma was a winter food and how surprised I was to find it ☺️☺️☺️
@@TheMamuchos every family in Serbia has own Saint. That day we call SLAVA. My Saint day is Saint Nikola (Nicolas), 19th December. On that day my cousens, friends come to my house for a lunch or dinner. In Serbia half population celebrate the Saint Nikola and the another go as a guests. And for Saint Nikola we eat only fish and vegiterian food beacouse of lent.
That's so awesome! We also celebrate saints in Spain but it's a tradition that is dying more and more every day.
I love how strongly traditional Serbian families are.
The waiter is a character! Everything is big in Serbia
He was the perfect person to have in our video. He was the best!
🤣🤣
Lieles and Mary ..
Greetings to you and all your followers and viewers of your channel.
Greetings from the waiter who hosted you in 200-year-old restaurant, and still one of the best ..
Thank you to everyone who praised me and you are always welcome too us ..✌️
Hello Enis!! We are so happy you found the video!
We looooved our time with you there! Thank you for being so great and genuine! Can't wait to visit you again next year !
You guys are the most down to earth and respectful tourist bloggers I've seen reviewing Serbian food. I can see a real reaction instead of the usual Oh Pljeskavica is awesome, lets talk about something random right away. It takes open minded and soulful people like you to really enjoy Serbia and centuries of tradition behind even the smallest things. This is a big step up to bring the culture closer to a reputaton it deserves. God bless you.
Wow, thank you! What a wonderful message you are leaving us here.
We love what we do and like to be as honest and respectful as possible.
Fingers crossed, next year we will be going back and do a road trip to explore other smaller towns and cities along with the nature. We truly enjoyed our time there
@@TheMamuchos if coming to Novi Sad or Zrenjanin it will be my pleasure to prepare some yummy meals for you
@@colinafobe2152 ajde ne lozite ljude da idu po tim pustarama koje ni vodu nemaju, steci ce pravi utisak o srbiji🤣
We don't know what will happen tomorrow, we live today. Totally agree!!!!
Absolutely, gotta enjoy and be thankful for today
I bet that rakia is particularly good in Winter. Love your waiter!!! So nice he’s not afraid of the camera. Love that country already.
He was sooo awesome! Couldn't think about a better waiter.
Yes rakija can get you warm in a second lol
Wow! That reminds me of hot sake but with higher alcohol lol
We will have to try it ☺️
Yes we learned we have to drink it slow. Lieles has never been drunk in his life, so maybe this will do it hahah
@@TheMamuchos Heated rakija is literally the best thing in winter. You also melt some sugar before you add the rakija to the pan, so it's sweet as well.
That waiter was such a cool dude, and he seemed so full of life. It was nice that he took the time to explain everything to you guys and recommend the best dishes. Wow.. that drink looked so strong and we know it was strong, if Maria sipped even til after your food was finished LOLOL!!
He was the best!! Yes Rakija is very strong and we spent about two hours there, at the end we were losing light lol
He is full from Rakija 🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤫😢🤪😁
Hahahaha either or worked for us! Hahaha
He was wonderful
I love Serbian food! 😋😋😋😋
Sooo good, right?
da.
You are a beautiful couple! Glad to see you are having a great time in Serbia!!!!!
Thank you! 😃
Great Food, great couple, great waiter, great city, great video! 5 minutes in was enough to subscribe to you guys! :D
Welcome aboard! Thank you so so much for your super kind words!
Where are you watching us from?
@@TheMamuchos Thanks for having me! You guys really have a lot of personality, can't wait to watch many more of your adventures :D I am currently watching you from Vienna, the heart of Austria :D
haha "when it comes to Serbia, everything strong!" lol
And big hahaha
Everything except our economy ROFL :D
@@abc-eq9so we live life, not he us ..
the economy is a relative thing ..
we all have as much as we need ..
.. and a smile always ..
best regards .. relax ..
@@enisimeri9587 I agree! Best to you to
“I got my eye on it” “well I got my fork on it” 🤣🤣 he got you there Maria LOL
The love is real hahaha
I love how Maria's eyebrows start dancing with the first sip ahahahaha :D
Hahaha my brows would tell you my darkest secrets hahaha
Wow guys, you've tried my favourite serbian dish, sarma🤩 I really didn't expect them to serve that dish in the middle of summer😂 If I knew I'd definitely recommend you to try it first 😊
Yes we didn't find it anywhere before that day but when I saw it I knew we had to try it.
You made our trip amazing! Thank you for sharing all your reccomendation and knowledge
Spring cabbage
Actually when we making a toast that's when we look each other into the eyes.
Great! Thanks!
@@TheMamuchos idk if I would translate it as toast (not in the meaning of classic toast when smb is speaking)... when we "chin chin" our glasses that is when we look into each other's eyes. Idk if there is any history about it but it is considered a bit let's say rude not to do it, not trustworthy.
@@freee8838 toast is correct. To toast is to chin chin hahahaa
And yes we have the same in Spain but we actually have to keep eye contact whole we drink lol
Strange customs lol
That “light breakfast” 😂😂
Can you imagine??
we eat so much..but have good genes,and not have too fat people...
@@toxicgamers1113 that's true!!
😂
@@TheMamuchos also, this is also all ORGANIC food, no GMO or other shit chemistry,poisons...
This is what real Travel channel should look like
Thank you so much Stevan! Thank you so, so much
Rakija is medicine. Drink it anytime.
Will do!! We got a bottle of homemade rakija, and we have it with us.
@@TheMamuchos that will not siffice - buy at least a dozen litars
Hahahhaa
“I know there’s food there and that’s what’s important” TRUTH 💯
Hahahaa main motivation for all of us
Yes, I knew this would be positive.. going to find this question mark restaurant if we ever visit Serbia 👍
Sooo good! Worth the visit
thank you SO much for promoting serbia
what a hidden gem! People don't know what they are missing and we didn't even get to scratch the surface, we have to go back and visit Nis, Novi sad and more
“You drink it slow, you die, and then you keep the conversation going” 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 I was not expecting it to be that strong. The one we had at home wasn't that strong at all
Maria: I have my eyes on that
Lieles: well I have my fork on it
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hilarious!!
Love couples that keep it real!!
We can't fake it hahaha
Welcome to Serbia :)
Enjoy in our food,music,and everything you can find :)
Try the drink called "Vinjak"
Thank you!! We really enjoyed Serbia! We will try it when we return!
@@TheMamuchos You're always welcome to our country wish you guys all the best ❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thank you guys for representing my city in such a nice way ! Cheers !
Thank you for having us and being so welcoming! We can't wait to be back
Drooling over the feast you ordered!!
Sooo good!!
This rakia is dangerous 🤣 Love the story of this kafana. We would’ve totally done a shot!!! Hahaha 😂
Hahaha I mean instinct tells you to drink it as a shot no? That's why I had to say some about it lol
The Mamuchos Haha We actually had it as a shot 😂
Rakija connecting people ✔
@mysterychemistry yes that's what we heard but we have several comments here on the channel saying we are wrong and it must be drank at once!!!
We are so confused now lol 😂
@mysterychemistry your fellow Serbians might not like us hahaha
Now imagine all that food home made, 10 times at least tastier than any restaurant, mom's and grandma's know how it's done :)
Also warm recommendation to everyone visiting first time as for Rakija, first taste one's made of honey or quince, those are newbie friendly and tastier than plum.
Awesome!! We would love to try homemade food. 🤤🤤🤤
Maybe when we go back next spring
Thanks for the advice on the Rakija! ☺️
@@TheMamuchos If you do come back, food will be waiting, just write :))
@@ZEMUNBRE awww thank you so much ! Thank you from hearts!! We will
Actually, I would never go for sarma in a restaurant, homemade (and, I agree, only in winter time) rules. As for meat dishes, Serbia is the paradise country,
@@user-wy5wq5cg6i but we didn't know people to ask them to cook sarma for us, plus it was August I don't think anyone wants to that in the hot summer
Great rock montage introducing the dishes!! 👍👍
Yeahhhhhh! 👨🎤👨🎤👩🎤👩🎤
That looks so hardy and delicious along with some stunning views!! Looks like a place I would love to visit!!
Yes you would love it, and history is super rich here
Kako da vam se zahvalim za taj vaš nesebični trud u kom moju zemlju prikazujete baš onakva kakva i jeste ...... nego samo da vam posaljem hiljadu poljubaca....HVALA VAM
Hvala Vam mnogo! Srbija je u našim srcima! Hvala vam!
I always love watching all the extras you put at the end. They always make me laugh haha
We love reading this!! We wonder sometimes how many people get to it actually lol
Hey Maria and Lieles!! So great to see you guys, and learn about this Kafana. We have never heard of this before either, but are glad that you're explaining to us what it is.
Happy to hear that girls! It make us happy sharing with you all what we learn in our travels
Great video guys, glad you had fun in Belgrade!I wanna correct some of the things about the customs here if you guys don't mind.We don't look at each others eyes the whole time while drinking, it would have been very weird :D Just when you say "cheers" (živeli) and after that it's all back to normal :D And rakia is not really for "slow" drinking in my mind, if you take one large sip or two the flavor is much more pronounced whereas while just taking a small sip doesn't let you feel it the proper way.Long rant indeed, hope it shed some light.Hope you guys visit again and make another awesome video.Cheers!
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing this!!
We have heard so many things about drinking rakija
We feel we need to be adopted by Serbian parents and learn all from the beginning lol
Good thing we have you all!!
Much love
Looks like Goulash is recommended by you guys. It does look like a winter meal which is served hot and it's comforting too.
We would love to try that one day!
Very delicious! Yes I bet it is the best meal for a cold day
Yum!! I love trying new dishes especially when we travel. The magic of travel! 🌍
Totally agree
Great video! Delicious food! Thank you for sharing info about Kafana!
Happy 2022!
Happy you enjoyed it!
Ooo that cabbage dish looks super tasty!!!
It was delish!
👍🏽 another good food feature. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks guys
Oh it was a much shorter trip than I thought. I thought you guys were there for long term. Really cool how you have all this history while you guys are eating.
We were there for a month and 3 days hahaha so it was slow travel. Hahaha but it really flew by.
I (Maria) love the history of the Balkan countries and I get obsessed reading about it more as we landed there
Oh yea, I got epidemic sound using your link. So glad I did, makes a huge difference.
Thank you so so much Carl! I still have to tell you the story of what happened with it! But it's soooo truly appreciated
Floating camera trick!! LOL.. love these end bloopers.. so fun! 😄
Hahaha our waiter was awesome
Omg I don’t think I could sip a shot like that 😳 you guys are brave 😂
Hahaha it's very flavorful actually, but burning when coming down
Edited: Mashed potato and meat, one of the best combo ever! (Bread and meat is good too 😆)
Totally agree
@mysterychemistry yes potatoes, bread, it's all magical lol
Simple and magical
@mysterychemistry omg I can't remember why I typed bread a month ago! I think I meant the mashed potato in my head but typed bread. Oops sorry, my bad!
"Sometimes they say drink it before food, during food after food..."
And all three of these statements are true! Rakia is just like Hungarian pálinka when it comes to the rules of drinking it. You should only drink it if one of these four conditions are met: it is morning, it is noon, it is afternoon, or if you feel like drinking one. :D
hahaha we like those rules hahah
Thanks for the insight 😊
@@TheMamuchos you're welcome. :) I'm a Hungarian person with Croatian, Serbian, and Austrian ancestry. Love your channel and your enthusiasm to try out all things truly local! Please do reach out if you ever choose to visit my country, would love to be a free guide!
@@MrZebeda we truly wanted to go to Hungary this year but Lieles isn't allowed yet as an American citizen. But we will def let you know. It would be an honor to have you as guide. We will let you know
@@TheMamuchos Yeah it is a bummer that so many travel restrictions are in place. :( Hope to see you both when all of this is behind us!
Bread on bread!?! I've got to get to Serbia! LOL Glad to find your channel; I look forward to more of your videos!
Serbia is awesome! Really good food and we heard food gets better outside Belgrade
Hope you go and enjoy it
Sarma and the goulash looks yummy!!! 😍😍😍 Lol Lieles trying to remember the name... sarma hahaha!! Oooof!! U had me at that mash potato and that gravy meat, fat is my friend, love them fats 😝
That's right! You love your fat too!! Haahha
Lol "we eat bread on bread", i like that! Glad you two had such amazing food over there too!
Bread on bread is the perfect balanced diet
I'm Serbian and really you guys were able to experience Serbia and some of what it has to offer- especially the food!!! Ziveli!!
We looooved our time there. We will be back and go into other parts of the country ☺️ ziveli!
So cool that you guys got to experience a classic traditional kafana experience at the oldest one in the country! This is a perfect Mamuchos experience - food and booze!
That's right!! Yes and unfortunately we miss the live music because it was a Monday, but they have a live music too.
great video guys!!!
Thanks so much!
A great story and great food make for a good video!
Thank you! An honor coming from you
Love the floating camera trick! we should try next time! :)
Hahahaha
Ufffff.... give us all of that light breakfast! Yes to Sarma!!! Beautiful food shots.
Thank you guys
We learnt a lot about Kafanas from you guys today. That's so interesting! So to us, it sounds like a bistro or pub :D
Thanks guys, yes more like taverns and they have live music as well
Thanks for visiting Serbia 🇷🇸 hope you had fun
We loved our time there and hope to be back next September ☺️☺️
Heyyaa guys! finally got to catch up youtube haha, miss you guys videos :)
Miss you guys too!
hvala super ste dobro dosli
Hvala vam. srećan što ti se svideo
"I have my eyes on that" "Well, I have my fork on it" LOL!!
No remorse hahaha
We have never seen the dish Sarama with cabbage rolls before, but sounds really good and glad to hear the meat was tender in this dish as well. That's too funny that Maria is not a fan of a lot of veggies, but great they were able to blend them down in the gravy. That always gives such a wonderful flavor! Did you guys say you had this meal for breakfast?? Wow.. that's a heavy breakfast for sure! But too funny the waiter had mentioned it wasn't a lot of food! We would be so stuffed!! LOL.. Like what he said "live for today" that's speaking truth! Great video and love you guys to the mother effin' moon and safe travels!
Thank you girls !! No we had it for early dinner, but the waiter was saying serbians have that for breakfast and a while pig for dinner hahaha
Yes I like some veggies, but not fancy veggies lol
The sarma was really good though.
We love you to the mother effin' moon!!
The goulash with the mashed potatoes looks delicious! I can see how the meat is just falling apart. The best goulash I've ever had was in Hungary. Watching your video just reminded me how good it was 😅
I believe that's where is from, Hungary. We might have to take a trip to Hungary and check the sources lol
Maybe when things get better, if you guys go back to Poland, we can meet in Budapest and check together 😁😁
Finally a video about Rakija hahaa.
Watched your previous video mentioned about it.
That’s like a strong brandy, isn’t it?
Yes a strong brandy made of fruit
Love the question mark concept!!
Haha yesterday saw The Batman trailed. The Riddler was in Serbia? 🤭🤔
Oh we have to watch that trailer.
Yes the question mark "name" is so interesting, we had to showcase this place
Love you guys...hope you had great time over there....
We absolutely loved it and we are going back later this year for Rakija season! 😊😊😊
@@TheMamuchos make aure you dont stop drinking rakija before you hit the floor....greetings from Melbourne
Hahaha that's what we heard we have to do hahahaha
Serbian living in Melbourne? Is there a big community there?
@@TheMamuchos yeah bro...lots of Serbs here in Melbourne and even more up in Sydney...i am from Banjaluka,second largest city in Bosnia...got here in Au after war started in 1992...love it here but chevapi,burek and rakija is what I miss here...actually lots of original Serbian rakija you can buy here but original burek and chevapi I struggle to find...love you guys...keep drinking bro...one rakija,two rakija,three rakija floor....
@@diablomauser7108 You are from Bosnia!!! We are going to Bosnia soon!! We will check Banjaluka then!
Wow, you have been there for a long time!
We know how passionate Bosnians are with burek. hahahah
Thank you for your message brother! Stay safe and hope to meet you one day! We will cheer for you!
Unic style of kafana, tasty food, love Question Mark
Happy to hear, hope next time we go, we get to meet people and see more of it, the music, the people and more
“Is he driving or not?” 😂
Hahahah
DRIVING THE INVISIBLE BATMOBILE 😬
wow over 100 years!! hahaha rakija "it'll wake you up" the waiter is so nice! Yummmm sarma and goulash looks so good! wow that is a huge lens on the canon camera! what specs? oooooh that's what kafana is lol. hahahhaa magic camera, need to learn that one!
Hahaha yes food is delicious there
That is my (Maria) camera the mark 6d ii with a 24-105 mm lens. I mostly use the 85mm and this one for photography
That sounds so interesting, if we make our way there I would love to dine there! Love it!!!
It's such a beautiful spot!!
Serbian Kafanas were probably the first coffee houses opened in Europe...a place where you could order small “meze” (a sampler plate with cheese, prosciutto and fermented olives) a Turkish coffee or Slivovitz...be alone or with your friends, and spend the whole day talking about different issues or just relax...before going home to relax...hahaha
Kafanas were places where only celebrities and important people of the past would go to. Before, you could see actors, writers, painters, sculptors, musicians...etc. ...and they all would have their special table where they would sit and enjoy. Unfortunately, nowadays in Belgrade there are only few Kafanas left that are in business... :’(
Thank you guys for sharing this great video ...I’m originally from Belgrade, however I haven’t been back 25yrs... :’(
Thank you for sharing all this important info we didn't share!
Love how much character there is in the Kafanas.
Something to enjoy and celebrate!
In what part of the world are you these days? 25 years is a long time!
@The Mamuchos my pleasure :-)...
there’s an old tradition in Belgrade (older generations know it...something that’s being forgotten now) when you start going to one Kafana you “claim it” as your spot, and that would transfer to your son and grandson as it would become their spot as well...
also there are “Birtija” (Bir-tee-ya) these are not real Kafanas, back in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s a bunch of these Kafana copies would open up so regular Joes could go, listen to some live loud “pop-folk” music and get drunk....
My great grandfather’s, then grandfather’s, and father’s spot was Orashac Kafana :-D www.restoranorasac.com
I live in California :-)
@@docaristic9898 that is amazing!
Wow
Thank you so so much for sharing this
Really, so cool!
What a nice place. I pinned it in my maps so we can go next time we go.
Stay safe out there! California is such a beautiful state.
Thank you so much for sharing this. ☺️☺️
Ooh all that looks so good 😍😋 I’ve never seen Serbian food before. Any dish with rice is usually pretty good, that cabbage dish would be delicious, if love that one.
Yes we were oblivious to Serbian food before getting there too. Sooo good, anything with rice does it for us too
If you're an Aussie who still lives in Australia, there should be plenty of Serbian restaurants. Serbian population in Australia is pretty high so you shouldn't have much trouble finding a place that serves Serbian food. Cabbage dish is called sarma.
We knew about the big Serbian community in Chicago but didn't know about Australia! That's good to know
Looks like a great meal you enjoyed TFS hope you are both well have a great weekend Cheers 👍🍷🍺
You too guys! Did you start the road trip!?
@@TheMamuchos Not yet hopefully next week we are in for some wet weather here ☔️🌬next couple of days 🙂
Stay dry !!
Nice video my friend,.. 👍👍
Thank you 👍
María, eat your veggies 🤣 Cafanas are officially on our list. We also have a hard time getting the same thing but there’s always that dish you love.
Hahaha I don't like to go fancy on the veggies. I'm more of a traditional veggie eater hahah
There's a restaurant in NYC call Kafana, in case you ever go
The Mamuchos Good to know
Gulaž was my go-to meal in there:)
Nice review(y)
You are no longer in Belgrade? Or you mean in that restaurant?
@@TheMamuchos Yes, I now live in the UK. But when I lived in Belgrade, my go-to restaurant for goulash was that restaurant\kafana'
@@kusocm Awesome! Thanks for sharing! Stay safe
We Serbian love all people with big heart ♥ 🇷🇸😉
❤️❤️
About rakia.... as Snoop Dogg say's drink it evry day. There is no need fo special time or you dont need to eat before you drink... best food when you drink rakia is hard cheese and dry meat (like pršut), ćevapi isnt bad but this first combination is magical... also to add, Sarma meat is mix of pork and beaf... also kafana is more modern term, original term was KAVANA the plase for koffe, there is also other names like mehana, krčma (maby oldest term), taverna, konoba, gostionica.... its got diferent name because of diferent purpose like if you are in konoba you are probably in montainius region and there is restaurant+hostel (some sort of), or if you are in Krčma you are probably come in perifery or vilage and you drink there (rakia, medovina (honey spirit) or vine), taverna is in town, gostionica is just place where you can eat... also we got vilage (selo on our language), and katun (its tribal "vilage" on montains)...
Ohhh all this information is so cool! We hope to experience some of those on our next visit. We visited some konobas in Croatia and saw that they also used those places as winery and supply rooms back in the days.
We must try it with the hard cheese and dry meat... that has to be so yummy
Hear what you are saying about food and restaurants you get to like, super to try different foods but when you find something you like, you just have to have it again!👍💕
That's right!
Thank you guys for your input!
What's your favorite food in England?
The Mamuchos Elaine loves shepherds pie! Fish and chips is another favourite! If you guys come to England, we’ll definitely have to take you a British chippy!😎👍
Love fish and chips and shepherd's pie! Def my two favorites as well
All the food looks so yummy
They were delish
The way we Serbs drink rakija First,second and few of thirds
hahah that is the way to go!
Kafana rings a bell - think there is a Serbian restaurant in NYC called Kafana
Yes there is, I believe it's in the lower east side. Never been but I remember seeing it
You Guys, made my Day ! Pronouce -Saarmaah-
Hahah Thank you so much! Saaaarmaah 😁☺☺
I love lieles food reviews...his expression is awesome! "Taste this cabbage! Woot woot so good"
He is one of a kind!!
We are all about meat and potatoes and can't forget about the bread.. YUMMY! That's wonderful they have goulash on almost every menu in the area. We love that dish and the gravy to sop up in the potatoes and bread is always amazing! It's rare you get tender meat at a restaurant.. so you know it's great when you can get that quality.
Correct, if the meat is tender you know they made it with love!
Meat and potatoes is the best combination ! We enjoyed eating in Serbia
Oooh Kafana, don't know what it is but looking forward to watching!
There's a kafana in downtown NY! You guys should go check it out and show us ☺️
I am from Serbia and I am SO PROUD AND HAPPY to see other people enjoy Serbian food. You should also visit other cities: Valjevo, Novi Sad, Kragujevac...
And we are so happy that you enjoyed the video. We are planning to go back and visit all those cities when we do a road trip! Let's hope we can do it in September when many people make homemade Rakija :)

Sounds great, we are planning to go back next year, we see it is very close to Belgrade. What would you recommend that we eat or do in Sabac?
Thank you for this!
Sabac, or how in the old times people like to call it little Paris.
Awesome to know
"Goulash" is Hungarian origin and it literally means translated from hungarian "cattle meat" or correctly "meat(dishes/soup) made by herdsman". So many neighboring countries like serbians, croatians, slovaks, romanians, ukrainians/russians, etc...accept it and changed a bit on their own style in comparison with original hungarian and called it by their own name but the root hungarian name "goulash" keeped. Sarma is Turkish/Middle Eastern origin, and it has meat variations in other regions by religion's customs and their traditions. In balkans we usualy use sour cabbage for making rolls but I've seen in middle eastern that they just cook a half raw cabbage just that it became softer so it could be stuffed and rolled. Also we have domestic (home-made) "Pilav" which is baked rise + onions with usually chicken meat. I think it's turkish origin also, cuz I've seen Uzbekistan meal called "Pilaf" which is made with beef I think and lots of carrots, peas, raisins and many spices. You just type on Google "wedding big pilaf" you will see how it's all made for I dunno 300 ppl, on wedding. Another real Balkan dishes is "Prebranac"(pronouncing "Prebranatz") in Serbia which means "well picked beans", in Macedonia they call it "Tavče na Gravče" (pronouncing "Taav-che na Graav-che" ) which translates as "Beans in baking Pan" but in reverse order and in Diminutive context.
Love your comment. Yes, I am sorry I should have said that the dish is Hungarian and share I ate Goulash at a Russian restaurant, not that it is Russian.
Yes pilav comes from Turkey but just like your example with sarma, it has tons of variations all over the Middle East and some Balkan countries. We made a video about pilav and other rices around the world earlier this year.
Prebanac is probably my (Maria) favorite Serbian dish. I love beans and I can eat Prebanac every day.
THANK YOU so much for all the info, clarification and food facts! We know this is super helpful for people who watches our videos and for ourselves as well.
God bless you people 🇷🇸☦️🙏
❤️❤️ Thank you so much!
