all right welcome to serbia everybody full disclosure ivana and i have no idea what this says
we're imagining it says like serbia or something but uh despite ivana's i think serbian name
uh we have no idea what this says we actually just stood on the opposite side of the sign
and began filming and realized the e was backwards without the e maybe the p we would be on the
opposite side right like total tourists but here we are we've actually been here for three days so
far which means we've been three consecutive days without eating meach and it's not a coincidence
the sun has not shown once in three days three days of rain because as we know from our 90 days
in romania if you live a life without meech you live a life without light wow so today
ivana and i are going to try and rekindle that flame by trying something called
chavapi i think it's pronounced trevapi visually it looks almost identical
to meech although there is some differences in the recipe we will see if there are some differences
in the taste and in the flavor first things first welcome to all of our new serbian
viewers ivana and i are in fact not romanian we were just there for 90 days
we are full-time travelers we've been going for like three years uh canadians actually right ivana
is an indonesian canadian with a serbian name do you feel like you're back at home in serbia
not yet oh yeah okay fair enough with that uh we're gonna go try first time ever trying to
vape and to be honest this is the best weather we've had in three days so hopefully we can
eat the food and then after we eat the sun will shine it'll be a metaphor for things to
come yeah all right uh with that let's uh the wind is blowing let's get out of here let's go
wow what a find guys this little tiny restaurant full of locals with tons of meat on the grill
ivana and i were debating should we go to a fine dining for our first experience or should we have
like a street food sort of greasy you know hole in the wall diner we chose the local restaurant and i
think we chose right the food looks amazing here didn't realize it's more like a burger
so at the last minute i was put on the spot what ingredients do you want i had no idea what i was
doing so i got onions cucumbers and some sauce i was hoping for pickles i will say a big shout
out to the two ladies working there yeah they didn't speak english and they didn't want to
be on film very much it was okay they said but they were very kind of hilarious in helping me
trying to help me pronounce things and they were yeah quite uh helpful people
so how many chapapes in there uh good question how many pieces of meat i think five five five
damn i wasn't prepared for what toppings do you want when she said once you put it in the bun
it started saying this this that i was like oh no i have no idea so anyway here goes it does
look like little it looks like sausages with no skin yeah um and the two ladies there were just
five stars ladies they were so cool they had not a single word of english when i said hello
they looked at me like this guy it was really nice it was a fun experience okay here we go
impossible not to like oh it's like um so the meat itself is quite salty
and quite garlicky try the meat by yourself maybe quite garlicky um
like breakfast sausage like a little small sausage does it taste like meat
i wish i had pickles in here i will say i wish i had mustard too we're going to refine our order
over the next uh month or two in serbia why would they eat it i like to get some mustard stir i'm
thinking about mix oh you're eating this different in serbia so you i think you prefer mitch then
not a competition because he said yeah i always have mustard i have uh this the thing mustard and
pickles with mix with meat uh this is more like thousand island salad dressing kind of like uh it
was a big mac sauce that's a bad description but kind of like that um i wish it were a little bit
pickled in there with mustard i'm talking about meat either way guys it's very good it's five-star
food this is something you can eat every day so is it like me okay all right let me try mine
now one more thing when we first arrived to serbia that first person we talked to said this beer
is the greatest beer in the world now i'm not gonna drink a beer in public at the church here
as you can see probably the wrong idea but we will try that later on in the video and this to
be honest is really good beer food because it's salty garlicky and it's a burger it is kind of
amazing this could be better than meach if i can perfect the toppings i want i just in the spur of
the moment i just started pointing at stuff um five star food we'll eat this almost every day
to be honest this is really good it's a go-to meal it costs for two burgers and two drinks
yeah uh eight twenty eight twenty eight dollars pretty darn good and the ladies
they were hilarious anyway you tried on it all right i got mine pretty saucy look at that sauce
i got a little bit of i don't know what the chili sambal look like spicy yeah i think
this one is going to be spicy you always want it yours looks better than mine i think the
more sauce might be the way to go sauce it up maybe let's see don't be shy first bite
does it feel heavy
good job thumbnail thumbnail it yours looks like it weighs
five pounds oh new jacket this is this is the wrong food for new jacket
good job ivana tell me you like it though tell me the meat tastes like meat right
yeah let me just try the meat uh yeah it looks like a little sausage
breakfast sausage burger with cucumbers on it it's different mitch is more bouncy the consistency oh
you're right about that you're right about that you are a food expert aren't you meat is more
bouncy because they put the what is it bicarbonate something oh yeah yeah to make it sort of like
juicy and bouncy yes you're right about that it's not as bouncy as much right
yeah flavor yes the texture is different it's similar though it's similar mince meat with garlic
in it some spices they grill it same it's similar right similar but the way they eat it is different
again this one is comes in a bargain burger and i've seen the chaffavi put inside a pita bread as
well right like into a bun or a pita bread or like a like a shawarma like a yes shawarma because our
friend george said uh serbian food is turkish food but better right so maybe that shawarma
thing is a turkish influence oh yeah maybe so they like it they like to eat the chaffapi
like a sandwich yes here in serbia i quite like it as whereas in romania the mitch they just eat it
with a little bit mustard or pickle and bread on the side yeah that's it there you have it
which would you say which would you say you prefer it's not fair to pick favorites but if you had to
oh they're both good they're different they're different i still need two which one do you
like right now i would say meech because i had it probably 50 times in 90. you like much better but
i need to perfect my trivac really really yeah oh this one's pretty good sometimes i find me i like
mitch but i find meat sometimes too salty that's why i like it this one is good the but most of
the flavor comes from the sauce to be honest on this one yes but they're both good i wonder if
you can ever get a chevape burger with cheese on it like a cheese chevape so someone's doing that
in serbia somewhere there you have it guys all right let's eat and then we'll maybe if i can
find somewhere to sneak this beer i was told it's the best beer you could ever have okay let's eat
all right lesson one of trevapi it gets better and better as you go down because the sauce and
the onions and all the good stuff absorb into the bread and fall to the bottom and bring napkins
that's lesson two bring napkins uh i'm sure it's all over my face but so far so good stay tuned as
i perfect perfect my chevape order i gotta figure out a serbian accent now i'm speaking serbian
all of a sudden i'm speaking something i barely speak english i speak half a language over here
but uh pretty good good first meal in in uh uh for giovapi experience yes really good
all right we're gonna end this vlog in style
drinking a beer at a skate park what's cool better than that i just realized this is a z
ah okay looks like a three right interesting or backwards e yeah there you have it i will
say shout out to george literally the first person we met outside the airport i said what
should we do in serbia what's the most important thing he said drinking this beer true fact right
so how is it i mean it's great it's ice cold it's cold outside it's it's awesome
um i will say this will be my new go-to serbian beer huh it would have been
uh nyxico because this is i think the most common one or one of them one of
the most common ones uh but we're gonna go for this word which i still cannot pronounce
that try to say try it try it it was written on the menu at the restaurant
zion chat school something like this designer testicle all right
anyway i'm in five stars uh beer and chiffon chip was really good that's cool thanks for watching
guys hopefully in a few days or tomorrow we'll get some better weather and we can go museum
cathedral fortress learning exploring meeting people yeah this is our usual
style but we've got three days of rain anyway thanks for watching see you tomorrow
