    Albanians have a light breakfast? That must be a modern thing, because our breakfast are as fatty as they come. Lots of pastry with cheese and the good old dhalle! And then what did they do to the fli? Sweet fli? Who’s ever heard of anything like that? Interpretation indeed, but definitely not the real deal. The real fli is salt and savoury. Wtf 😂 talk about ruining the traditional Albanian cuisine by bringing in some fusion of some sorts.
