There is а Bulgarian version only with pork meat and cumin, in addition to the salt and the black pepper. Honestly I think this is the best version, as I do not like beef meat. But Croatian and Serbian - they are identical, are not bad, Bosnian and Turkish - they are also the same, are less good to me, and Romanian is the worst. If I liked beef - then Bosnian and Turkish would be the best and probably Bulgarian and Romanian the worst, soda inflates the size, but deflates the flavor. Just as flavor, Bulgarian has the most, because of the cumin, but the overall taste is less meaty.

It's translated as beef in the video although it's not quite "beef" as we know it in the West technically. "Juneće meso"/"junetina" is meat from a cow aged 1-2 years, that weighs no more than 450kg, and hasn't given birth yet. It fits between veal and beef, and this distinction is more common in the Balkans... But the point is, if you make ćevapćići at home using regular ground beef, they'll still be good but won't be quite the same.

It won't taste the same because what you buy at the store is bad quality beef, which has been kept in massive numbers and fed with grain the entire time. Cevapdzinici get their meat from farms, from villages, where the cattle has a good life, and eats grass.

Romanian cuisine doesn't have cevapcici, it has mici, and that is mostly a different dish. Comparing the two dishes is like comparing weisswurten with bratwurst. They are cooked similarly but have different spices, different meat cuts and different taste; mici are known to have been around for some 150 years at least but nowadays are traditionally eaten with mustard; cevapcici are morea meaty and mici have a more spicy and garligy taste (those made according to tradition have lots of spices). Anyhow, real traditional Serbian street food is plejskavitza, not cevapcici (and that one is really goid).
@MrAkatta6 ай бұрын
The recipe for the romanians Mici is way more complex and looks like a real recipe since is not only one type of meat with salt on grill.The romanians are using baking soda for their mix of beef and mutton or beef and pork just like the turkish are doing on some types of kofte so that makes the meat to be bouncy and juicy .Mici have 4 sides,they are not round and this shape allows you to cook it on 4 sides.Another key ingredient which make them stand out is a garlic bone broth beef .Mustard and fresh bread are the cherry on the cake.

You see the difference just by looking at them. And all the ingredients are a big NO in Bosnia. Try serving your Mici in Bosnia and call them "Cevapi". What do you think the reaction would be? They would all say "What is this? I didnt order this! Where are my Cevapi?". Maybe if you find a blind man he would take a bite, but immediately spit it out. Not because its bad, but because the taste is different and unexpected with all the ingredients. You can not trick us that easy with our own food! It would probably be the same reaction if I served Cevapi in Romania as Mici, dont you think? So its not about the name/language. They are different dishes! They look different and taste different. Try serving pizza with pineapple in Italy! What would happen? And thats only 1 ingredient (the pineapple) wrong. I think you should be more proud of your Mici. Im sure its not that bad?

If it looks the same it doesn't mean it is the same thing. The Romanians started to eat pork more since the Ottoman invasions. The Ottomans would steal all the halal food and, as you might know, they do not eat pork. That is why the most dishes in the Romanian cuisine are based on pork meat: ciorba, sarmale, mici, grilled. In comparison with cevapi or cevapcici, mici has beef/veal, sheep/lamb and pork in it. The fat and the seasoning makes the end result a lot different. One thing is for sure: every East-Europan nation has its roots and individual tradition. We are all proud of our home lands and welcoming whoever wants to enjoy life with us. I am 100% sure that we won't start a war over cevapcici any time soon. :))

Most beef used in Balkans is actually a babe beef "Veal". Unfortunately there is no name for beef "teenager" in English language. Suggestion for the name might be Boris Johns (on)

as a bosnian who tried all of these and more, i can confidently say, the best cevapi come from Travnik (bosnia). Theyre just a bit different from Sarajevski cevapi but you can taste the difference, its just better.

that is just stupid what you just said. you basically said that you prefer Chinese food to Balkans food. what does that have to do with ćevapi and their variety? it like commenting on hamburger types by saying you like spaghetti bolognaise better.

Not true. I am comparing sausages only. Despite they have different tastes with different meats. They are sausages.

@@mxweng ćevapi are not sausages. Sausages are, by definition meat products inside a skin or artificial tube of some sort. ćevapi are specialy shaped pieces of minced meat. I come from culture of sausages and ćevapi and for us it it not even similar, let alone the same.

These places have similar ones to bosnian and serbian versions though. Romanian lands were not included in the Ottoman Empire nor the Soviet Russia, just had to pay tribute to protect the population. So this is also visible in the food variation, more porc, extra ingredients etc.
