    Great video guys! 👍 I am glad that you liked our food, just one small correction, "Štrukli" are not from Slavonia they come from a region in northern Croatia called Zagorje!
    Oh and Lieles pronunciation of “Mlinci” made me laugh to tears! 😂😂😂
    I hope we will see you in Croatia again soon.
    Stay safe and healthy and keep enjoying life!

      Thank you so much for the correction. We will pin your comment so people can see it.
      We def have issues with our pronunciation hahaha
      We truly hope we can go back and enjoy the islands and the north part of the country.

    • @mariaandbryan

      It was delish, even Lieles ended liking it and he does not like cheese, he says the only two cheeses eligible for his taste is manchego and the burger slice cheese 🙄🙄
      Can you believe it?

Of course, it took some time and practice for him to get better. On the other hand, Maria still has nightmares every time that drone takes a flight lol

    1. Not liking the flavor but still accepting it- great way of learning
    2. Giving a try to all the regions
    3. Giving a try to traditional and (today) common dishes
    I mean this is the best, the most balanced and most fair food review I saw about Croatian food.
    But hush, there are stories to be told, stories that would make your stomach grow in decadence and stories that would make your stomach curl: there are wine soups, there are dormouse recipes, there are Roman gravies made out of sundried sweetwater fish guts, there are vinegar and salt based fish and vegetable recipes that made great empires survive harsh winters, there are soups made out of stone, there are sweetwater fish and ground paprika goulashes people committed suicides over(when they didn't nail down the recipe), there are almost extinct beef (boskarin) goulashes, there are (other almost extinct ibex- muflon) stews you need to earn by swimming 6km marathon- once a year, there are the best truffles in the world... there is a lot! I have just started.

    when you next visit Croatia you should try more food from Slavonija region like Čobanac (meat stew prepared in a cauldron over open fire) and Fiš (Slavonian fish stew prepared like Čobanac but using river fish), both are spicy , made with hot paprika powder usually from Baranja region

    • @mariaandbryan

    I am a Croat and I am glad that you like our food and our country. There are more videos on UA-cam where Americans and other visitors talk about Croatia and food here... but, there is always a but.
    I have noticed in you, but also in others, that you do not eat food as you should.
    The rule of thumb says that each bite should be chewed up to 32 times (depending on how hard the food is). Eat slowly and not very hot or very cold food (taste is lost) .This way you can feel the taste of food better, because the taste is felt in the mouth and the greater the pleasure of consuming the same, (if you like that food), but the biggest gain is for your stomach, because with well-chewed food it does not bother with digestion, ie. it is easier to digest food.
    Avoid just swallowing food like a crocodile. ;-))
    You will see that this advice is not with malicious intent.
    I’ve been chewing food for 70 years so I know something about it. :-))

    • @mariaandbryan
      @mariaandbryan  4 роки тому

      Thank you for the advice, I (Maria) am from Spain and I usually take much longer to eat my food compared to my husband. Yes, totally understand where you coming from. But if we chew food 32 times on camera, most people might want to strangle us hahahah
