Foreign Tourists Give Their Final Verdict!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Balkan cuisine is always a special experience for Western tourists, but there are &#8220;nuances&#8221; that differentiate, for example, Serbian and Albanian food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Balkans will probably never agree on who has the best traditional cuisine, but foreigners actually started a thread on Reddit precisely by asking: Is Serbian or Albanian food better?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Immediately, &#8220;fans&#8221; from both sides chimed in, though some also suggested other favorites (Romania, Hungary).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Serbia has Balkan cuisine. Albania has a mix of Balkan, Mediterranean (Greek, Italian), seafood is a big part, and then there&#8217;s our traditional food. It&#8217;s biased, but it should be Albania.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Serbian \u2013 and I&#8217;ve tried both.&#8221; &#8220;Serbian, definitely,&#8221; someone tried to close the &#8220;voting,&#8221; but there were still undecided opinions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Serbia also has some Austro-Hungarian food in the north,&#8221; some added. &#8220;The same applies in southern Albania with Greek\/Mediterranean food,&#8221; others countered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s Balkan food, pretty much the same,&#8221; opined &#8220;an outsider,&#8221; and it turned out to be the most concise description: &#8220;Grilled meat, pastries, and soups.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it seems that the entire discussion boils down to this \u2013 we can compare and debate, but for foreigners, it&#8217;s all Balkan cuisine, and they find it excellent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Ultimately, cuisines will have commonalities because it&#8217;s pretty hard not to be influenced by others. I don&#8217;t care as long as the food is good and in my belly,&#8221; they concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/bad-news-for-biden-former-president-diagnosed-with-progressive-prostate-cancer-spread-to-bones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">BAD NEWS FOR BIDEN: Former president diagnosed with progressive prostate cancer, spread to bones!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/horror-in-arilje-abuser-beat-and-threw-his-ex-from-the-balcony-then-pushed-a-neighbor-down-the-stairs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>HORROR IN ARILJE: Abuser beat and threw his ex from the balcony, then pushed a neighbor down the stairs!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/oklahoma-dashed-denvers-dreams-jokic-and-the-nuggets-remain-without-the-western-conference-finals-defeated-in-game-7-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">OKLAHOMA DASHED DENVER\u2019S DREAMS: Joki\u0107 and the Nuggets remain without the Western Conference Finals, defeated in game 7!
