I have just remembered one, Ruska Salata (Russian Salad). I don't actually know if it's Russian but it's served in Macedonia and it tastes great.  Yes, it is Russian Salad. In this case, looks like chicken was substituted with ham. There is also apples, beans and potatoes. All of this is mixed with creme, yogurt and mayo. They should also have:  I was introduced to Kefir in Russian and I love it. |

Pankration: the ancient sport of Greek wrestling. However to answer your question, I do not know since I have never been to the steppes. I do live in Turkey and know almost all the foods mentioned are cooked and served here, just as imam bayildi is served in Greece  |

Almost all the foods are also made in Turkey. Exactly, which explains why most countries in the Balkans share the foods they eat. is that tableclothes a balkan thing...? i have an aunt that put that kind of things in the new Plasma TV when it was closed... wtf!!!! Haha, my mother puts those things on everything too. They should also have: I was introduced to Kefir in Russian and I love it. I have never had that before. Does it taste very different to normal yoghurt? |

It tastes like yogurt, yet it tastes like buttermilk. A combination of both. Thick but drinkable. A bit lumpy, too. It sounds intriguing. I'll have to try it one day. A couple of more meals I've thought of, but I can't find pictures of: - Plain rice with spinach on top and entire cracked eggs on top of the spinach which cook in patches. (not a fan of that one) - Kasa, where it's flour mixed with something in a pan that you dip bread into with some meat patties scattered throughout. (It's only good when hot, otherwise it loses it's taste) |

I hate Kefir Yuck!! tastes sour Yes it does, a bit. But if you consider how it is made, your choice of words is correct. I normally do not sweeten Kefir, but I guess one can. |

I agree with whoever said most of these are common meals in Greece as well as in Turkey. I am Greek and grew up with a lot of this stuff or at least food that was very similar. I also visited Turkey where most of my meals were very similar to these listed as well.

I love Ayran the yogurt drink we have in Turkey. Yes, all the foods posted can be found in Turkey. We also have Russian salad - Rus salatasi with mayonaise and potato and peas. Fasulye, I really like, as well as Iskender Kebab is my favorite |

Musaka, pita, burek, turli tava, sarma and polneti piperki look delicious!!! I would love to try them!
By the way,most of the dishes look Mediterraneanish.

I think the reason why many of these dishes are similar throughout the Balkans,Greece and Turkey is because either they were once under Ottoman rule or close proximity with each other.
Nikola,the fourth and fifth picture that you posted look good!
