I love pork I must say.
In Kosova, traditional dishes are dairy products. Overall, the traditional dishes were quite healthy. Typical dishes are laknor, which can be made with meat, spinach or cheese; fli; mantia; petulla; krelane; bukë nore; speca të mbushura etc.
When I was in Albania (Lezha), I ate something called paidhaqe. I don't recall if it was pork or not. But it was quite good. I don't see anyone mentioning this special dish ... and I guess fish products must be popular in Albania as opposed to Kosova!? Given the seashore and many rivers and lakes.

uuuuuuu Kam harruar "bacarin" qe eshte si lakrori me miell misri. About albanians eating pork...we have a whole industry of making salami. Those who have tried the old traditional salami made in alb are very lucky. (marrim mamin e griiiiiiijme EHW) Mostly in south we eat lamb or goat meat. Because in the mountains there cant raise pigs. The head of lamb is lab's most prefered dish. ( I think the best part of lamb is the throat) But to the guests as sign of respect we serve the tail. Compared in Greece the region is like Epirus and Thesalia. We also eat fish, pestrofa (from rivers) korani (from lakes) midhje? (In Butrinti lake, Ilo Pinci specialist i midhjes dhe i peshkut) lol Paidhaqe eshte pjese e brinjeve donnie. Mund te jete e vicit e derrit, e qingjit etj. Thjesht ka ngel termi nga greket.

Yea, I wondered about that. I never remembered any cafeteria and always brought my lunch to school... Hell, now I dont even remember eating(but I do remember bringing a sugared bread and butter sandwich), I would always eat after school when I would go straight to my grandmothers house.

We always use salami for when people come over. In almost every Alb home I've been a guest in there was a plate with slices of salami around it and with something (mostly cheese) in the middle.
I've had paidhaqe maybe once in my life... I can barely remember its taste

Given the seashore and many rivers and lakes. Fish is big in Vlora... every kind. Whenever we feast fish is a center piece of it. Something we have brought with us to the US. PPl in the US dont eat fish anymore... they take pills to make up for it... From Vlora ;D

I know nothing about Albanian food. Honestly can it compare with Greek food? Greek food is just Turkish food wrapped in white&blu stripes Albanian dishes Tirana Fergese with peppers, Veal with large lima beans Tavë kosi, baked lamb and yogurt dish Peppers stuffed with rice, meat and vegetables Shëndetlie (me mjaltë) Fried Meatballs Chicken with Walnuts Lamb Stew with Okra Turkey Breasts with Estragon and Mustard Albanian SaladRoasted red peppers and onions, toasted walnuts over arugula with garlic dressing, Toss lightly and serve.

but perhaps you Greeks should be more moderate in lamb consumption; Too much lamb is no good so I agree here. .

My mouth is watering reading this. I just read the thread from the start and realized how rich our cuisine is afterall. Tave Elbasani is probably one of the tastiest dishes I've ever eaten in my life, and ironically I ate it in Prishtina, not Elbasan. With it they served mantia dipped in garlic and cheese. Wonderful! Smth new I've started to appreciate is dry and salted olives from Ulqin. I'm sure this isn't restricted to Ulqin: all Mediterraneans probably have it ... really good, I eat it with some feta cheese and a glass of milk. Also, do any of you guys eat scrambled eggs with ajvar? One of the easiest and tastiest breakfasts imo.

Besides olive oil and feta, there is nothing else that is exclusively med. All the meat and dairy products are very much embedded in Steppe culture.

^^^ You really think that is true? Is this just an opinion? Give us some examples about how Med. meat and dairy products are embedded in steppe cuisine. And don't even mention kebabs because EVERYBODY ALL AROUND THE WORLD EATS KEBABS.
