To take on Gjorce: approx 25 min from Skopje's Centre, with "London bus". Weather canceled a sightseeing trip.

Sopska salata

But good food can always bring up the mood, particularly home-made traditional specialties. Often begin meals in Macedonia with salad and a dash of Rakija (strong spirits).

Here: guaranteed fresh produce Šopska salata.

  ... with raw materials harvested directly from the family's Garden.

The family's oldest member enjoy work on plantations and have full control on them …as well as on chicken coop.

  Another starter - "Podluceni piperki" – pepper fruits with garlic - in oil, vinegar,salt and parsley.

Macedonian/Balcan food

Time for the parade number: Dada Katas homemade ”Tavcé gravce”, a kind of baked beans that often are served with sausages – but this time with meat. Fantastically flavorful. White bread is also a must on the Macedonian dining table.

Night in Gjorce

   Evening of Gjorce.

   Next day: much work was laid down by the host people to make this specialty "Pita so sirenje" – a sort of pie made of rolled thin dough filled with white cottage cheese.

That was preceded by šopska salata and a dash rakija.

Mnogu vi Blagodaram, for these days!
