🇧🇦 THIS is BOSNIAN food!? (Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina)

Ever since we saw @HamishandAndy jump from the Stari Grad in Mostar, we've wanted to visit the city. Not to do the jump, but to see the incredible architecture, eat the incredible Bosnian food, drink the incredible Bosnian cofffee and maybe watch OTHERS do the jump! 😄
Today we explore the old town of Mostar at first light before we dive into some of the traditional Bosnian food. We try Klepe (Traditional Dumplings drowning in sour scream), Dolma (Stuffed Capsicum) and the traditional Bosnian version of Burek whiiiiiiiiiich quickly climbed the ladder of favourite foods! Hopefully these are all reasons enough for why you need to visit Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina and try the traditional Bosnian food!
Thanks for watching!
If you enjoyed this Bosnian food tour, please give it a like! it really helps a channel like ours grow!

😆What's the best Burek you've ever had?

[@HaleyandZach]

Pekara Bobe in Belgrade 🤤

[@JordanandEmily]

How good is Belgrade food!? Bobe was shut when we were there 😞

[@HaleyandZach]

@@JordanandEmily the greasiest saltiest burek in the best possible way! We stayed at a hostel that was literally a 1 minute walk to Bobe.....we went every day!

[@DDtch6669]

I'm Serbian and all the Bakan countries share the cuisine. But Bosnia has the best Cevapi and Burek. Although I haven't tried Cevapi and Burek in Serbias region of Sandzak/Raska. By all the rumors it is the bomb.

[@milanpetrovic6030]

@@DDtch6669 Bosnia is predominantly muslim country, traditional bosnian cuisine is not based on pork and grease. Traditional serbian burek is made on grease and have different taste than bosnian diet pitas made on sunflower oil (sirnica, zeljanica etc). When I was young kid, back in 80's, burek in Belgrade was so greasy, I have to buy paint remover (razređivač) to wash my hands. 😄 Best burek ever. Evo i na srpskom. Nemasna i dijetalna bosanska kuhinja ne može da se meri po ukusu i mirisu sa autentičnom srpskom kuhinjom, onako kako su to spremali naši preci. Tradicionalni leskovački roštilj i leskovačka mućkalica, originalni niški burek itd. su za klasu iznad bilo kog bosanskog rivala. Nažalost, u zadnjih par decenija je sve manje originalne srpske hrane u Beogradu. Sa prilivom ogromnog broja bosanskih imigranata u BG, oni su od južnjaka i Albanaca preuzeli pekarski biznis i "street food" u Beogradu, ali što se mene tiče, banjalučki ili sarajevski ćevap ne može da zameni originalnu leskovačku pljeskavicu sa tucanom paprikom i ćevapčiće na kajmaku. Ne kažem da bosanska hrana nije dobra, naprotiv, može da prođe kao solidna dijeta, ali nije to to. 🙂

[@isakyhadz]

Bosnian burek is the best!!

[@JordanandEmily]

So good!!

[@KissFromTheWorld]

Traditional Bosnian food shares many similarities with its Balkan neighbors. It's described as a balance between western and eastern influences and is closely related to Turkish and Mediterranean cuisines. Bosnian cuisine makes use of many spices in moderate quantities. Dishes are often boiled and flavored with sauces made from the natural juices of vegetables. In Bosnian cuisine, recipes for many traditional dishes have been passed down through the generations and remain relatively unchanged. Happy hungry! Cheers, Domenico.

[@JordanandEmily]

You forgot to mention how delicious they are! And to be honest, all of the bulkan neighbours have incredible food too 😄

[@srdjanbasaric517]

Only what can fit under a horse's saddle can be called Turkish cuisine.

Welcome to Mostar Hercegovina and i hope you had a great time there in the South. Greets! 🫒🍷🇧🇦

[@JordanandEmily]

😊 such a great time! Thank you!

[@Timur21]

Sarma and dolma were spread in lots of countries who were under the ottomans.. Sarma means wrapped in turkish and dolma means stuffed.. Thats why we call the wrapped vine leaves sarma and the stuffed vegetables dolma. It’s a subtle distinction. I think some countries dont make that distinction though.

[@JordanandEmily]

Oh wow! That's so cool to know! So many things seem to come from Turkey!

[@Timur21]

@@JordanandEmily yeah lol.. the ottomans influenced a lot of culture around the mediterranean area

[@juliannedean537]

Now we’re back from our holiday (no we didn’t video our trip), I can catch up on what I’ve missed. Isn’t that the bridge Hamish & Andy jumped off, can’t remember which one jumped but I remember the bridge. It was quite a few years ago. Stay safe, miss you both, love you, mum.xx 💕💕

[@JordanandEmily]

Yeah it is!! We were thinking of that when we were there hhaha Love you miss you!❤️❤️

[@damirbato5686]

Oh and btw the so called "Cheese Burek" you ate in Croatia in Bosnia is called Sirnica :)

[@JordanandEmily]

Thanks for that 😄 we have messed up a lot of names! Especially in Serbia apparently

[@lestat8656]

This Dolma and Sarma thing is really funny. They both originate from Turkish. Dolu= full, doldurmak= to fill, dolma=something that's filled up. Sarmak= to roll, Sarma= rolled up So if you fill a vegetable with filling it is dolma. But if you roll it on a leaf or cabbage, it is Sarma 😉

[@JordanandEmily]

😄 that's so interesting! We had no idea that the names meant that, makes a lot of sense though, they are all pretty similar!

[@lestat8656]

@@JordanandEmily Yea it is impossible to know without knowing Turkish but that is the logic! :) Another interesting concept is Donair and Shawarma. Dönmek= to turn. Döner= something that turns. Hence Donair. Same thing with Shawarma, comes from the word "çevirme". Çevirmek= to turn, rotate. Çevirme= something that rotates. Arabic pronunciation of çevirme became shawarma over time. Since you guys are foodies, hope this information is useful to you somehow :) your videos and travels are great, very inspiring! Thank you for sharing and all the best from Canada 🙏🏼❤️

[@queensabina9983]

So you actually have to pay 25 euros to adventure your own safety and life The coffee tastes the same not a surprise since it was a part of the Ottoman Empire for a very long time. The city itself definitely worth a visit🤩

[@user-jl9cg2im5q]

Omiljeno mesto u Bosni i Hercegovini!

[@JordanandEmily]

Ours too! ❤️

[@waynosfotoscameras]

I am from Australia too. But my GF is from Bosnia and born in Popov most (most, means bridge) Pita means Pie and Burek is meat only. This does not just apply to Bosnia, all Balkans countries refer to different fillings by different names, and of course the best Burek is in Australia and made by my GF lol. Also Sarma can be made with grape leaves or Cabbage leaves. Kajmak is actually not sour cream, it is what they call in England Clotted cream.

[@JordanandEmily]

Hahahah you are a lucky guy! Such easy access to Burek is a dream!

[@waynosfotoscameras]

@@JordanandEmily Yes I am very grateful. I made a video of her making Burek on my channel, if you are interested. She is very skilled at making Pita. The video is called “Art of Burek”

[@bestescapes]

I just did the same thing. From Dubrovnik to Mostar and I made videos of both lol. I think we were there at the same time

[@JordanandEmily]

Oh no way! How funny - we will check out your videos 😊 we didn’t end up making one in Dubrovnik because we were only there super quickly!

[@Kurtalan1234]

Dolma and sarma are 2 Turkish words, Dolma is “stuffed “ sarma “wrapped “ you just had dolma and they are cool too. But I would strongly recommend chard leaf sarma. The best of all.

[@JordanandEmily]

Oh, thanks for the recommendations!!

I am from Bosnia and I eat all kinds of Burek (Pitas) regularly, and my mother makes it amazing! But the best burek that I ever had is the Burek ispod sača in a bakery next to the road in Jablanica (a town 30 km north of Mostar). Please, don't show this comment to my mom! :)
