Have you ever done a socially-distant scavenger hunt for food? Even if you don't want to be indoors sitting around people this is still a great way to find new food and have an exciting time. Because you can't lock down Mother Nature!
When we were in Ohrid Macedonia we jotted down a list of traditional Macedonian foods we wanted to try on a sticky note. Then we went out to find them!
We had a time-limit impossed on us since everything shut down at 8 pm (20:00); which made it more challenging.
But we found a lot of options available via take-away.
Not everything. But still a lot. And we were able to keep our social distance since we could not sit down inside restaurants.
The dishes that we tried to find this week were:
🥗 Shopska Salad: made from tomatoes, cucumbers, onion/scallions, raw or roasted peppers, sirene (white brine cheese), and parsley. (This is also Bulgaria's most famous and national salad). (𝗪𝐢𝐥𝐥'𝐬 𝐅𝐚𝐯!)
🥘 Mućkalica: stew made of barbecued meat and vegetables. Its name is derived from mućkati, meaning "to shake, stir, mix". (Also a Serbian dish).
🍲 Tavče gravče: This meal is beans, peppers, and seasoning baked and served in a traditional unglazed earthenware pot. It is considered the national dish of Macedonia. (𝐊𝐚𝐭𝐲'𝐬 𝐅𝐚𝐯!)
🌶 Ajvar: A condiment made principally from red bell peppers, eggplants, and oil. The relish became a popular side dish throughout Yugoslavia after World War II.
🥞 Mekitsa (plural: Mekici): made of kneaded dough made with yogurt that is deep fried. (Also a traditional Bulgarian dish).
🍒 Rakia (Cherry): One of the most popular spirits. Found all over the Balkans but in Macedonia they have options with a cherry flavor.

Glad you enjoyed your travels in Macedonia! We appreciate you calling us by the name we like to go by. I'm sorry that this video might cop some dislikes from our neighbours to the south because of the name in the heading. Politics aside, we hope you come again!

All this food looks delicious! 🤤 We've been loving the traditional Georgian food so far and honestly we think we may have to go for a food scavenger hunt of our own 🤭 We have never heard of or seen any of the foods you guys got and that is probably one of our favorite things about traveling, the interesting foods you find around the whole 😍🌎
