Re: Discovering Balkans: The true spirit of Belgrade

Thanks, Rob! Yeah, pljeskavica is a great dish, one of my favorite grilled stuff. There's also "punjena pljeskavica" (stuffed with cheese, ham and mushrooms) and "gurmanska pljeskavica" (stuffed with cheese, bacon and a bit more spicy). Both are great too, I highly recommend them.
