The Balkan staple - cevapi with kajmak, onions and beer 🍺
Given that I have been to the old country, a food series would not be complete without one of the old staples - cevapi. For those uninitiated, minced meat rolls that you usually eat with freshly chopped onions, a pita-like bread (a bit different of course) and ideally with kajmak - a young cheese made from cream. Akbar is another standard accompaniment but I am not a huge fan personally, so none here 😊🤷🏻♂️
Depending on where you eat it the standard drink is either beer or yogurt, home made spirits are an option and if you are more ‘Western’ inclined, a Coke is also acceptable.
Here a reasonable take on the subject:

I am allergic to tomatoes…
And while ajvar shouldn’t have any, it’s a bit harder to tell in a restaurant than if your relatives have made it. So I never fully developed the connection between ajvar and cevapi 😊🤷🏻♂️
Indeed I did this time 😊
As the trip did not take it to any of the southern brotherly republics. But it’s a good choice when one needs to eat a bit, like you said. Like having it in all states of what used to be Yugoslavia 👍🏻😋
Yummy! ♥️ Cevapi Kajmak Onions Amazing Combination 😍
A small variation would be Dijon Mustard, Hot Sauce and Pickled Cucumber 🤤
Certainly a possibility 😊👍🏻
Personally not a huge fan of pickled cucumber (an oddity in the family 😂🤷🏻♂️) so don’t add it usually.
Nothing to be sorry about - all good 😁
I can still eat in my ‘traditional’ fashion and often you offer advice that I am more than happy to try out 👍🏻 Just not so into pickled cucumbers or sauerkraut 😊🤷🏻♂️
Kimchi…
I’m j the other hand is great 😋😋😋 You see, there’s no rhyme or reason and 99% of the time I am willing to try things. I draw a line at tomatoes (allergy) and raisins, apart from that I am pretty flexible 😊👍🏻
One of the Joys of Life Kimchi ♥️😊
So final Recipe Salman's Version Cevapi Kajmak Onions Dijon Mustard and Kimchi with an Ice Cold Japanese Beer 🤤😁👍
I believe Koper would be the closest place where one can reasonably sample it…
Ljubljana would have a broader choice, still 😊👍🏻 Hope you enjoy it and if you need restaurant tips, let me know 👋🏻
