I’m surprised he didn’t like the Burek and yogurt combo. The yogurt gives a refreshing taste for the salty burek

@@urlauburlaub2222 Agree! Black risotto is NOT an Italian dish, this is one of Croatias national dishes and spreading such false information is offensive actually. Italians and even Spanish have similar dishes however it's not the same thing.

[@CrvenkapicaIVZNG]

@@urlauburlaub2222 Finally someone who seems to have a clue. I was already wondering about the tourist guide. He doesn't seem to know much historical about his own city. What a pity. Gareth makes such great videos about different regions in Croatia. I would have wished him - for each region - a more competent guide.

[@CrvenkapicaIVZNG]

@@urlauburlaub2222 Endlich jemand, der anscheinend Ahnung hat. Ich habe mich über den Touristenführer schon gewundert. Viel historisches scheint er nicht über seine eigene Stadt zu wissen.

Burek is one of my all time favorites. I ate it everyday when I was there.

Just back from Croacia and YES I had black risotto with squid! Delicious!!

[@Vorrutyer]

It's actually cuttlefish, not squid

[@RSVD84]

You know to me it amazes me that people actually do stuff like this in other countries. I’ve only stayed in the US but never found authentic places. I’m so jelious there’s places like this that I know I won’t experience. But living through you make me happy. I’m into all these romcoms at the age of 38 and wish I was able to experience what I see of tv and on yt. Thank you for the experiment through your channel. But I am happy with my life I can have right now and how ever long I have.

Great video, kuddos to both Gareth and Dino! Thank you Dino for showing us all those wonderful places, I definitely have to take my wife to pašticada Kod Joze for her birthday.

[@bazoo513]

8:26 - Prunes, not plums. And you _do_ roast the meat prior to simmering it in this rich sauce. Another key ingredient is _prošek_ (not to be confused with Italian Prosecco - prošek is heavy, sweet, strong desert wine, not light fizzy one.)

[@nesvrstana1950]

A prune is just a type of a plum

[@bazoo513]

@@nesvrstana1950 I think he simply doesn't know that "suha šliva" is not "dried plum" but "prune".

[@bazoo513]

@ Yes, just like raisin is "just a type of grape". You would never use fresh plums for pašticeda, just as you don't put grapes, but raisins, in some cakes.

[@bazoo513]

@@urlauburlaub2222 You are right - pašticada is the only Dalmatian dish I can think of that is prepared by roasting then long simmering; otherwise it is mostly grilling or quick boiling. Well, "brujet/brodet" is somewhere mid-way.

Oddly enough san diego some hundread years ago had a big croatian community that propelled its boom, especially in fishing industry, actually revolutionised fishibg industry world wide with invention of the reel for the nets reducing the workforce needed onboard and allowing huge nets, i mean it was a fishing industry revolution, so san diego would be adequate for certain.

@@dannyboy-vtc5741 I had no idea & that's truly fascinating. Thank you.

[@dannyboy-vtc5741]

@@redlionplumbing yeah, san diego was very popular for dalmatians because it remainded them of home, so they basically held the fishing industry there back then, and became wealthy fleet owners and subsequently into the shadows of upper class, they fulfilled their american dream for certain.

[@tomokaramolko8560]

Diocletian

[@tikt99]

You re so funny and cute 😂

[@tomokaramolko8560]

I don’t understand why Dino showed you burek. It’s not even Croatian or Dalmatian. You should check out Soparnik..this is exclusively Dalmatian from the area from Makarska to Trogir. Nobody else in the world has Soparnik. And it is super delicious and healthy. Od cheese from Pag island…or octopuss baked under the peka. Or Buzara style mytilidae

[@GarethLeonard]

Watch last week's episode for Soparnik: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGrbl3uEdqxmmdE

[@dinomestrovic]

Hi.. it's quite simple.. This is a 4 hour long food tour. Burek is our stop 5 out of 6 and around 8.30pm. Where do you find soparnik in the middle of Diocletian's palace at that time? I would gladly put it on a evening tour but it is impossible. Next year we will have a morning tour with green market (Pazar) where soparnik is included. And also, why not burek. Taking them to best burek in town (Somebody feed Phil also filmed there) and we eat much more burek than soparnik anyway. Personally I eat at least one burek a week while I eat soparnik about 2 times a year. Burek can be found in any bakery on any corner of Split while for Soparnik you need to look hard for. Octopus peka would be amazing on a tour and it is one of my favorite dishes in the world but how do you organize that if there are only 2-3 people on the tour? Peka is usually made for 4-5 people's full meal.

[@jakovcu]

But we eat burek for 600 years, we Domesticated it

[@tomokaramolko8560]

maybe you Bosnians. But not we Croats… and definitely not in Dalmatia

[@CrvenkapicaIVZNG]

@@GarethLeonard Gareth, don't get irritated. I've now looked at some of your posts. You're doing a great job. You present the homeland of my ancestors (stare slave djedovinu) so sympathetic, so human and so apt, there is hardly anything to improve. In some places, I would have liked you only a more competent guide. Thus, Split was founded in the 4th century BC at the latest. Not in the 3rd century AD.

Nur vier Mahlzeiten am Tag?! Ist die Esskultur in Kroatien inzwischen auch so weit gesunken? Muss wohl der Einfluss der EU und der Touristen sein. Bevor wir aus Kroatien 1971 fliehen mussten, gab es in meiner gesamten Verwandtschaft fünf obligatorische Mahlzeiten am Tag. Das einzige, worüber sich meine deutsche Freundin bei meiner Mutter beschwert hat, waren eben diese fünf Mahlzeiten. Nicht, dass es ihr nicht geschmeckt hätte. Sie war nur um ihre Figur besorgt. Gareth, deine Beiträge sind toll.

[@damirblazevic4823]

Nope, it is not.

[@xftbllplyr2091]

If croatian food was good, we’d have restaurants all over the world.

[@CrvenkapicaIVZNG]

The problem with Croatian cuisine is that it requires genuine, original, unadulterated ingredients if the food is to be good. It will be difficult to get the vegetables from the Neretva Delta fresh to the USA. Or putting the fish caught last night on the table for lunch in New York. I think it's really great when proletarians comment on things they don't understand. Das Problem mit der kroatischen Küche ist, sie erfordert echte, ursprüngliche, unverfälschte Zutaten, wenn das Essen gut werden soll. Es dürfte schwierig sein, das Gemüse aus dem Neretva-Delta frisch in die USA zu bekommen. Oder den in der vergangenen Nacht gefangenen Fisch zum Mittagessen in New York auf den Tisch zu stellen. Ich finde es echt toll, wenn Proleten sich zu Dingen äußern, von denen sie nichts verstehen.
