So today I am in Belgrade Serbia which is my favorite place on earth. Today I’m
going to show you guys this special event or venue that is like very very unique to
the Balkans called a kafana. They serve snacks and drinks and these musicians come and play
live music which is pretty crazy. It's like mostly Balkan folk songs but it's a bit of everything
You'll see in a second. We're in Skadarlija right now and if you've watched my previous Belgrade
video this is probably the fanciest street in all of Belgrade and the kafana that we're going to is
right here. Joining me today is Dave from Serbia. No he's from Australia but he's visiting me
because I’m trying to convince him that Belgrade's the coolest place.. in the summer at least
What do you want? Like snacks? First drinks and then we'll figure out for our food. Beer?
Beer and rakija? I’ll do beer for now. Rakija? Okay beer
and rakija. As you might know I’m not the biggest fan of rakija but
gotta do it for the culture I guess. By the way this is Oghi, one of my main homies in Serbia
First shot of rakija today. Yeah this is apricot. I did the whole video on rakija so.. Okay. What's that
one? It's a plum. Okay. Do we take a shot of it? No we sip it. This one, these ones are good
This is good rakija so we're supposed to like sip it. Let's not pull a "Nicola and Nadir in Zaokret"
hahah have you seen the video? Alright Živeli (cheers)
Cheers. Welcome my friends
Eye contact is important
You just downed it? But you didn't know? Okay. It's okay. You're not supposed to down a
good rakija. You're supposed to sip it. This was actually good. It was good though. Oh man. Oh that was good
Yeah yeah. Imagine this.. imagine this on a cold night. Decent yeah. Oh man I feel it. Yeah (rubs chest)
And this is how you differentiate a good one and a bad one. Yeah. Yeah basically the bad ones start
burning up your head and your mouth and the good ones actually give very comforting feeling you know.
Comforting.. Cheers
He will make like a bit of lamb and a bit of veal made in this way
and like you can share it. Okay yeah. Yeah. We are getting lamb (and veal)
What is in here? It's tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and a bit of chilies and feta cheese on top
(This used to be called a "girl's dream") Now it's called "boy's envy". That's what he said
This is lamb
All right let's go. Let's get involved
That is healing my soul. The musicians are here and like
s***'s going wild. People are joining in and dancing. This is like what a kafana is all about
and we got a lot of food. More than I thought we're going to get. We got this.. what kind of
salad is this? Shopska is what it's called. It's basically cucumbers, tomatoes, chili and feta cheese
We got.. veal
literally still being cooked right now in front of us
and they give it with clotted cheese. If you remember kaymak from Turkey. It's like.. it's
basically that clotted cream sorry not clotted cheese and it looks delicious
Excited about this
Oh my god
This is good, This is good
This veal is impeccable. This is so good
Okay now I’m gonna try the salad.
Nicely refreshing and wet when compared to the
veal which is probably not very hydrating by itself
I love it, like editing videos. First person who's ever said that
That's what a kafana looks like. Ajde ciao. That is it for this video. Like comment subscribe if you want to or not
if you don't. Catch you guys on the next one from probably somewhere in Serbia
That bus is gonna murder these people
