    When filming in Balkans feel free to speak up especially in Bosnia. We are very loud people. When I came to US in the 90's as a refugee I was still in High school and there were many other Bosnians there so during English class the teacher would always tell everyone to keep quiet but not us Bosnians and when the others complained why she doesn't tell us to keep quiet she just told them "they can't help it, they are Bosnian!"

    The bean "soup" is pasulj. You also have to try kljukuša or glavuša, but im not sure if you can get that in a restaurant. The "cream cheese" is kajmak. I miss bosnian food. Its so good. Dont forget potato burek and roast lamb.

    Great videos!
    One thing I might add regarding the traditional drinking of Bosnian coffee. How we usually drink it is, if it's for more people, you stir the top (foam - we also call it kajmak :D) and spread the foam evenly to the cups - you do it first for the guests. You don't stir the bottom because you don't want to mix the coffee grounds (toz - should stay at the bottom of džezva), which causes bitterness. The thing about the sugar cube - usually we don't drop the whole cube in the coffee (if you want to put sugar in the coffee you can put the crystal one). We take the cube and dip an edge of it in the coffee (which makes the cube softer - so you don't break your teeth) and then bite a bit of it and then take a sip of coffee and so on. Drinking coffee is a social thing, so be sure not to drink it too fast.
    All the best in future adventures!

      @IfWeGoTo  Před rokem

      Thank you so much! Very happy you enjoyed it! Thank you for the extra tips on the coffee, when we go back we will have to find a traditional version!! That foamy part is the best!

    I am so glad you visited my birth town. I was only 21 when war started and had to leave my Sarajevo to save my little brother and pregnant sister. I live in Chicago for the last 23 years and I am so glad to see my city at least like this. Your videos reminded me of the childhood and my young adulthood. I have not been back there yet but planing to go maybe next year. My both kids never saw Sarajevo and now they are grown up and will go on their own. BTW the cheese spread on cevapi is called KAJMAK. It is made from the milk cluster and my favorite. I try to make it here in US but it's not the same. Thank you again for visiting my country for me the prettiest in the world and I have traveled all over but still thinking so many cultures in one place you don't see very often. Visit again and this time maybe to Adriatic coast ♥️😘

    • @IfWeGoTo
      @IfWeGoTo  Před rokem +1

    Burek or pita isn't exactly an Ottoman dish tho. Even Turks call it a "Bosnian burek" because it isnt the same dish as in Turkey. It has some Ottoman influence but it's mostly pre-ottoman in origin. Pitas or dough based dishes were present from middle ages in the Balkans.
    Ps: i must also mention that Balkan immigrants in 19th and 20th century carried over some of the Balkan dishes to Turkey. For example "Inegöl köfte" are actually a Bosnian ćevapi carried over to Turkey. So the exchange goes both ways

    • @IfWeGoTo

    I loved how knowlegeable you are about our food. You didn't like the pitas, so I have to defend them! It depends a lot where you eat them. Home-made pita, which is the real thing, is a completely different story, it's not easy to make because the dough is supposed to be extremely thin so it easily breaks. What you had is the fast food version with ready-made dough which is thick and dry, so they bathe it in oil. About the coffee, again, it's different when you have it in coffe shops. I'd say they prepare it carelessly, and I saw in your video how grainy it is. That's not preferrable at all. About the cevapi, there are 3 main types of cevapi in Bosnia. In Sarajevo they cut the onion in small pieces and put it in water overnight. Eww. It should be a fresh onion, served on the side in slices so you can pick it up with your hand. Cevapi are a finger food, so I don't respect the Sarajevo kind of cevapi (even though I'm from Sarajevo). And the meat recipe varies too. Beans are life. Our desserts are rubbish. Thanks for visiting, and sharing.

    • @IfWeGoTo

      Ahh thank you!! We did like some of the pitas, but totally understand what you mean!! Home made is probably delectable!

      Hahah it's funny you say you love beans too, everyone we asked in Bosnia said beans were their favorite dish!! As for desserts, we enjoyed what we tried but I'll take your word for it haha!

    • @sweetLemonist
      @sweetLemonist Před rokem +1

      Lol and as a bosnian I have to defend our desserts :)
      It all depends who makes them. My mom is a specialist when it comes to old traditional dessert. She uses just a fraction of the recommended sugar, no oil just good butter and always some lemon with it. For example, you could eat a whole bunch of baklava's and not feel too sugary at all, while it's impossible to even eat one when you buy them somewhere.
      I'm sorry but I think a tourist can't really judge the food of a place they visit. You have to go local, break into some homes and force them to feed you..jk

    Really high quality video content. I enjoyed watching and I wish you to come back to my country as soon as possible and enjoy even more next time. I am interested in whether you had any preconceived notions about Bosnia and Herzegovina before you visited it. What opinion did you get about her through the media?
    And yes, one interesting fact. All tourists who come to Bosnia and Herzegovina praise our citizens for being cheerful, kind, open, hospitable and that is really true. We are good to "foreigners", but we are very bad to ourselves. Unfortunately, our people do not take much care of the environment, infrastructure, and the laws have yet to be harmonized with the laws of the European Union. Unfortunately, you are a big drawback for us, even though we are declared as the cleanest nation in Europe. 😇😁♥️

      Thank you so much!! We definitely want to come back one day, would love to see more of your country! It is beautiful!
      For preconceived notions, not for us really. You learn about it a little bit in school (the former Yugoslavia, the war, etc), but I feel like in America they really focus on American news/history and elsewhere is minimal. It’s sad really.
      And yes, Bosnians were amazing to us! But it’s sad to hear it doesn’t carry over to your own people too, but I’m sure that will continue to improve with the integration into the EU? Or do you not think?

      @@IfWeGoTo Look. After the war, Bosnia and Herzegovina was all destroyed, stolen. Today, after almost 30 years, many reforms have been carried out, society is slowly integrating into the European Union, but again there is a lot of work ahead of us. This year, we banned the construction of mini hydropower plants. The first in Europe and that is a good example, but at the same time, due to political reasons, the European Union did not give us candidate status for membership negotiations and now we have to wait for the elections to pass, for a new government to be formed, and only then will we get it. So, we are just wasting our time, and the citizens have no more time, they spend their whole life waiting, and that is why they leave. It is especially difficult now, due to Russia's aggression against Ukraine and inflation in Europe. But I am optimistic, it will certainly be better from next year, when we should become a full member of the NATO alliance and when we will open negotiations with the EU. Sarajevo is currently experiencing a boom. A new railway is being built, new battery-powered trolleybuses have arrived, new trams are coming soon, pregnant women receive 500 euros per month, public transport is cheaper than in August, demolished facades are being restored, the construction of a wind farm in Sarajevo will soon begin, and maybe we will become the host city again of the Winter Olympics in 2030, if Barcelona wins the hosting. Namely, since they do not have the conditions, part of the games would be transferred to Sarajevo.
      All in all, the next 10 years will be years of reform for Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦📈📊🤗

    It’s all identical to Turkish food (I spent 9 years in Istanbul) minus the Turkish vegetable dishes and their healthy breakfast. Can’t see any Mediterranean influences here. Not great for those of us who don’t eat red meat and very heavy. I’m on my way to Sarajevo from Belgrade in a few days, but will make sure I have access to a kitchen, so that I can make salads etc!

    • @IfWeGoTo
      @IfWeGoTo  Před 7 měsíci +1

      There are definitely similarities but we found the two to be quite different!! I agree that it’s super meat heavy cuisine. Even in dishes we didn’t expect meat (like bean soup) we discovered it. There are some vegetarian options at some restaurants though!
      A kitchen is a good call, the local markets are great! :)
