Hunting for the BEST BBQ street food in Serbia 🇷🇸

[@milan4383]

Thank you guys for representing Serbia in this beautiful way❤

[@DaliborSavic]

Let me correct you, we DO NOT like snakes! Like at all! BUT, becouse they are terrifying for us we want to see them just like an atraction in a sense of thrill...that's it.

[@emilianozapata2530]

Snakes are not be killed as soon as you see them in Serbia,we have a story of our ancestors sometimes taking a shape of a snake,and staying around the house from which the person who died came from,to keep it safe and guard it from bad spirits.

[@amarillorose7810]

@@emilianozapata2530 That's right, they are called "čuvarkuće". The house guard snake (čuvarkuća) appears as a mythical creature that usually lives in the foundations of the house or in the hearth and it is usually white. It is believed that the snake guarding the house represents either the progenitor of the family, i.e. the first ancestor who formed that family, or in some regions it is the ancestor who was the most meritorious and stood out for something. Killing that snake was considered to bring bad luck and a sin.

The cheese mix at 3:06 is called urnebes and its a spread made by mixing pavlaka, chilli peppers, garlic and mustard/some oils. Urnebes can also be translated roughly to english as.. hell of a mess/disaster Edit: I think it is clear that Balkans are not vegan friendly

[@booreeto]

the spicy cheese "salad" is called Urnebes or in literal translation Pandemonium salad :) a bit of cottage cheese, garlic, pepper, oil, smoked paprika, and chilly powder ( u can add a bit of vinegar, noticed u liked it) :)

'mukalica' is a stew with grilled meat.

[@NenadTrajkovic]

Leskovac is the capital of traditional Serbian barbecue... Widely known for its secret mixture of meat and spices for pleskavice and ćevapčići. I wish you a good time! For music: there are two schools of traditional Serbian trumpet music, western Serbian (Zlatibor etc.) and southern Serbian (where gypsy orchestras predominate (masters like legends of trumpet music - Bakija Bajić, Fejat Sejdić and others))

[@Brave2standalone]

Serbia is 'foodie's paradise' - Serbian food is what I miss the most living in LA. And 'snakes in Serbia' is a new trend - I don't remember seeing them while growing up there!

[@dj_m19]

definitely not a trend! just an exotic element added to rostiljijada as an event

[@VojvodaSloboda]

i have to (biasly) agree, but only if you like meat. otherwise it a vegans worst nightmare haha!

[@DaliborSavic]

There is no competition in a sense of competition with others for biggest pljeskavica, just one group of people (from some restaurant) make biggest pljeskavica ( that is bigger than last year) for Guinness world record and that's it...after they make and done with it the audience eat that pljeskavica and it's over....

[@abadaba2812]

@3:10 - Urnebes, probably can translate to English as HellsWrath, it's abasically cheese/kajmak with chili, often garlic and chef's recipe. Leskovac is famous for peppers, all sorts, sizes, hotness and imagine what u can do with it. Grill them, use them in meals, make salads.... Try Moravska Salad - my favorite!

Leskovačka mućkalica is a dish made from leftover meat from the grill: burgers, kebabs, smoked pork neck, smoked pork back, fresh pork, a little smoked bacon... And all this in a good sauce made of onions, tomatoes, and finely chopped red pepper - baked on the grill or on the oven and then pilled , plus a little of oil (not much), salt, pepper, garlic, carrots, sweet and hot paprika and little bit of parceley.

[@fungitorix]

There is no rule as to how much meat should be added. You add whatever grilled meat you have and as much as you think is necessary. That's why Leskovačka mućkalica always has a slightly different character. It is also important to add a little sugar to the tomato paste. Potatoes are not necessary, but can be added. Here is one of the recipes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2HOiat8dsiqiqc

[@fungitorix]

This recipe is the recipe of a woman from Leskovac, and it was inherited from a great grill master who prepared a grill for President Tito and his guest presidents from all over the world. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJWQfIBjlK1pfdU

Urnebes is cheese, mostly cottage cheese, the soft one, with paprika spice (aleva) and garlic, sour cream, oil, and people add their own spices to give it their own spin.

[@zoranmarkovic1123]

Let me correct you, we also like foreign music, but at events that are of a national character, where local culture or customs are promotes, you will hardly find foreign music. There are events such as EXPO and the like, where foreign performers perform, or concerts, of course. We are very proud of our traditional music, although many foreigners are not enthusiastic about it, but at the end of the day it is for us and our traditions that we cultivate.

[@zoranmarkovic1123]

It's nice to see your enthusiasm for Serbia and I can say that you two are very good promoters of our homeland, for which we are very grateful. Keep enjoying!

[@amarillorose7810]

"Urnebes salata" is a traditional Serbian salad that is typically served as side dish, usually with barbecued meat. It is made with a combination of cheese or clotted cream, oil, garlic, chili pepper or any type of mlevena and tucana paprika. The salad is named after the Serbian word for “chaos”, which refers to spiciness.

[@Sarmozord]

That is not really correct what you said. Urnebes is more of a condiment then an actual salad and urnebes does not mean chaos (chaos on Serbian and English don't really mean same), urnebes is more like some kind of disorder or mess and disorder should be perfect meaning for it because of the ingredients that are used.

[@amarillorose7810]

@@Sarmozord I didn't say anything wrong, this is a type of salad that is usually served as an appetizer or with grilled meat. The meaning of the word "urnebes" is complicated because it does not have only one meaning, "hilarity" is probably the most accurate meaning but it can also be "pandemonium, hoopla, rumpus, ect.". Disorder is "poremećaj, nered" and mess is "nered, zbrka".

[@arizonad8012]

It seems you fell in love with Serbian cuisine :) I'm visiting my hometown of Nish in October and I can't wait to eat some real food :) Also muckalica is literraly mix meat dish [like grilled leftovers].

[@ToxicFarm]

Side dishes or additions to the burger are so good, that sometimes you don't even need the pljeskavica-meat. Especially for vegetarians, or if you're not very hungry and want to have a lighter dinner... Add vegetables, cheese, and a urnebes salad to the scone... without meat.

[@nekotamo4477]

I must say, as someone who grew up in Serbia, although Serbia is a small country, there is a lot of difference in culture across the country, especially between north and south. In Vojvodina (and Belgrade) there is a lot of western influence. Novi Sad looks much more like Vienna. In Vojvodina (Novi Sad, Subotica, Zrenjanin etc) people have their own cousine (Paprikaš, gulaš, valjusci/nasuvo, gomboce, štrudle) they preferer tamburitza, rather than trumpet, also there is a Exit festival (huge music festival in this area) in Novi Sad, and people do like the western music, even the fashion is different, and difference between an average person minds from north and south could be compared with a differences between New York and Texas. Belgrade is a mix of all. Belgrade is the city which is known for the best night life in ex Yu, because, you can find there clubs and bars with all kind of music (Jazz bars, bars with rock and punk music, clubs and festivals with house and trap music, and of course clubs and kafana's with folk music). I'm from Belgrade, and for me, there is some kind of a cultural shock when I go down there. In the western Serbia (Bajina Basta, Uzice..) live Dinaric people, they are very tall, loudly, and their cousine include pršuta, kajmak, domestic cheese, lamb meat, komplet lepinja, pecenje... In the east live people who tend to be very superstitious, they have magical rituals, and there is a influence from the Romanian food and habits. In the south Serbia there is a influence of Bugarian, North Macedonian and Roma culture, and I like their cousine, 'cause it's very spicey and they made the best Ajvar in Serbia. Also, there is a language barrier between the north and south, so we can barely understand each other. I don't want anyone to be offended, this is just my opinion and every part of Serbia have some good and some bad sides. And last but not least, me and many Serbians are grateful for your promotion of our country. Thank you, JLW, u are the best.

[@tierlists1]

Guys I highly recommend you to eat any kind of hunted wild animal products here. I am a hunter myself (no license btw) and I personally really prefer to eat dishes made out of animals like wild boar, deer, roe deer, rabbit, pheasent... many others... especially the stew, gulas (goulash) or as the roasted meat, out of freshly hunted and baked wild species. You also HAVE TO TRY dried meat (šunka, kobasica, kulen..) made out of wild pigs (mangulica) especially, and you can't believe how well it goes with kajmak. You can look for them in some certain restaurants, but just go find for some hunting clubs that sell these dishes. There are many hunting clubs here, and it's quite popular to find them anywhere, basically you have them in any bigger or smaller city or town, just not really all of them publicly sell the meat they hunt. No need to thank me, enjoy Serbia!

[@COCOGROCOSHOW]

That insanity about snakes is totally new in Serbia imported from God knows where . In fact it is not about LOVE for the snakes ,it's about money . Serbian mentality is to better make 1000 dinars doing NOTHING then work hard for 8000 dinars . Serbia is now one of the biggest construction sites in Europe specially Belgrade waterfront but average age of workers there is 45 years old and very few young Serbians work there . They have to hire workers from other countries. Right now in Serbia there is going on some crazy culture that is SHAME to work hard for living . Idols for young Serbians are criminals , starlets, folk singers in this exact order . Any how ,enjoy your time in Serbia. Cheers from Ontario !!!🍺🍺🍺

You make big mistakes, call it beginner mistake 🙂you eat at at those open barracks on grill fest. You eat gurmanska pljeskavica and they give you prepared one (you dont know how much time it spent on grill waiting for you to come and dust fall during that time 😉 ) Fast food Ema, Bibac and Asterix you need to wait for few minutes for pljeskavica or any thing to be prepared on grill. If you want good Leskovacka muckalica you should went to some local kafana or ethno restaurant. I am so sorry you didnt find competition for bigest pljeskavica in the world but you were about some 15-20m from it ( or side from main street, Sop Djokiceva Kuca and it was during the day but you were not far from it) at 5:40 behind you (or behind blue parasol-sunshade-sun umbrella) is tin sheet metal which grill maestros from ethno restaurant "Koliba" use to flip the biggest pljeskavica on the grill. If you eat pljeskavica or cevapi the only thing you need too add it is a lot of fine chopped onion and nothing more (that is traditional way, the modern way is with a lot of toppings but you lost flavor of pljeskavica or cevapi) Better luck next time

that addition to the burger at 3:00 is called "urnebes'' and it is made from hot pepper, white cheese, salt and other spices. sometimes there is also garlic. ''urnebes'' means - noise, roar, uproar, disorder, break, chaos. per example; 'when you say that something is, say, funny or hot '(smešno or ljuto) and you add ''urnebesno'' it would be translated ''hilariously funny'' or ''hot'' or, as you use, ''stupidly _______''.

it HAS to be with garlic, otherwise is not urnebes taste...garlic actually defines urnebes taste, but sometimes people put little garlic so people thinks there is no garlic in there.
