Oh! Greek yoghurt is nice. And pavlaka. Ooopss over there in Foca do you call it Pavlaka or Vrhnje? My wife calls it "Vrhnje", i think she needs a little "serbification" ;D!! I'm from Zenica and most of my family is in the north.

That 'li' and 'n' is an urban myth... only few Patrinoi pronounce it that way, Lemnioi and Chiotes pronounce it always like that.... It is almost 100% certain that after a definite random of posts, you start lying to your self. You have been acting like that for ages. You are a machine of self - deception.

pita and burek are 2 very different things a pita is from a rolled out dough while a Burek is from many very thin rolled out doughs that have been layered on top of each other and once baked has a crunchy phillo pastry texture on top and bottom and 8 or so soft inner levels with filling.
stinging nettles ..
in Serbia we make stinging nettle patties and serve with a home made tomato sauce.

True enough. Though in Bosnia Serbs say burek instead of meat pita.

Since when Balkanians started to claim Pite and Byrek as Balkan invention? Sarma and Dolma is also Balkanian? What about Ajvar and many other foods that Balkanians eat also? Balkanian? All of these foods came from east and entered in to the Balkans in ottoman era.

Actually they were probably brought over by the Magyars/Huns. No, The foods are eastern, moustly persiatic(iranic) passed to the ottomans, with them came to balkans. Sarma means 'a wrapped thing' in Turkish, from the verb sarmak 'to wrap' or 'to roll'. Dolma (Turkish: Dolma, is a verbal noun of the Turkish verb dolmak (dolmɑkʴ) "to be stuffed") is a family of stuffed vegetable dishes in the cuisines of the former Ottoman Empire and surrounding regions such as Russia, Iran and the Caucasus and Central and South Asia. The name Ajvar comes from the Turkish word havyar, which means "salted roe, caviar" and shares an etymology with caviar. Börek (also Burek and other variants) is a family of baked or fried filled pastries made of a thin flaky dough known as yufka (or phyllo). It can be filled with cheese, often feta, sirene or kaşar; minced meat, or vegetables. Probably invented in Anatolia in the early Ottoman period, it became a popular element of Ottoman cuisine. Börek has its origins in the Turkish cuisine (cf. Baklava) and is one of its most significant and, in fact, ancient elements of the Turkish cuisine, having been developed by the Turks of Central Asia before their westward migration to Anatolia. Börek in Turkish language refers to any dish made with yufka. The name comes from the Turkic root bur- 'to twist', (similar to Serbian word savijača (from savijati - to twist) which also describes a layered dough dish). Baklava (Ottoman Turkish: باقلوا) is a rich, sweet pastry made of layers of phyllo dough filled with chopped nuts and sweetened with syrup or honey. It is characteristic of the cuisines of the former Ottoman Empire and much of central and southwest Asia. The history of baklava is not well-documented. It has been claimed by many ethnic groups, but there is strong evidence that it is of Central Asian Turkic origin, with its current form being developed in the imperial kitchens of the Topkapı Palace.

I think Duke John is the only fully Balkan person here. Simply off the fact that you can throw him anywhere between Slovenia and Turkey and he will find a way.

qifsha greket . Anyway, every morning I ake up and make some eggs, my housemates are astounded by the fact that I put djath on my eggs. I also sprinkle it on buttered bread. On salads... on practically everything. It must be horrible for my cholesterol. Always buy Bulgarian though. Much better than anything those a-holes to the south can ever make. Hell the Poles make some really good ones also. Plus I feel more comfortable giving money to Bulgarians than those a-holes to the south.

All of these foods came from east and entered in to the Balkans in ottoman era. lol this reminds me of when you go to a Greek restaurant and they only have Greek delight and Greek coffee. Kudos in a way but still it doesn't change the reality of where it originated. Some time in the last decade in Serbia, Turkish coffee seems to have become just a black coffee or short black. I prefer to call it Turkish coffee.

Naah man, you can throw me between Finland and Albania and i will find my way, just like last summer, all alone, just me my car and a s**tload of good music. Balkans has been influenced so much buy foreign elements that many seem not to know it or just ignoring it.

I prefer to call it Turkish coffee. The coffee that is boiled up with džezva/gjezve can never be Greek coffee, it is indeed a turkish style of preparing a coffee drink that is served in findjan/fingjan, this style of coffee drink also entered Balkans in ottoman era. Maybe in future we will start to see Greek,Albanian,Serbian,..., Pizzas? ;D And the cheese, my personal favorite white cheese is this: www.teitelbros.com/store/images/IMG00313.jpgBulgarian white cheese. And the yogurt: www.valio.fi/images/tuotetiedot/tuote/280.jpgIt is exactly the same yogurt like my father does at home. Thous two products are one of the basic stuff that can be found in my fridge.
