In this travel vlog our 2021 Macedonian lockdown continued. Instead of being in Bitola, we were in Lake Ohrid Macedonia. Everything (even supermarkets and pharmacies) closed down at 8 pm (20:00).
Have you ever done a socially-distant scavenger hunt for food? Even if you don't want to be indoors sitting around people this is still a great way to find new food and have an exciting time. Because you can't lock down Mother Nature!
When we were in Ohrid Macedonia we jotted down a list of traditional Macedonian foods we wanted to try on a sticky note. Then we went out to find them!
We had a time-limit impossed on us since everything shut down at 8 pm (20:00); which made it more challenging.
But we found a lot of options available via take-away.
Not everything. But still a lot. And we were able to keep our social distance since we could not sit down inside restaurants.
The dishes that we tried to find this week were:
🥗 Shopska Salad: made from tomatoes, cucumbers, onion/scallions, raw or roasted peppers, sirene (white brine cheese), and parsley. (This is also Bulgaria's most famous and national salad). (𝗪𝐢𝐥𝐥'𝐬 𝐅𝐚𝐯!)
🥘 Mućkalica: stew made of barbecued meat and vegetables. Its name is derived from mućkati, meaning "to shake, stir, mix". (Also a Serbian dish).
🍲 Tavče gravče: This meal is beans, peppers, and seasoning baked and served in a traditional unglazed earthenware pot. It is considered the national dish of Macedonia. (𝐊𝐚𝐭𝐲'𝐬 𝐅𝐚𝐯!)
🌶 Ajvar: A condiment made principally from red bell peppers, eggplants, and oil. The relish became a popular side dish throughout Yugoslavia after World War II.
🥞 Mekitsa (plural: Mekici): made of kneaded dough made with yogurt that is deep fried. (Also a traditional Bulgarian dish).
🍒 Rakia (Cherry): One of the most popular spirits. Found all over the Balkans but in Macedonia they have options with a cherry flavor.
