That regime with its sick ideas (we are all Serbs) has been destroying all the countries around Serbia (Bulgaria, Croatia, BiH, Montenegro, Kosovo, Slovenia and Serbia itself) for the last 100 years and that regime has killed more people together than Jasenovac. The facts about Jasenovac, no one said that people are not killed there, but that number you say is a fraud, even the Jews say that number is too high. You do not mention the Serbian Nazi regime.

      Well i would think that you have a croatian restaurant in san diego, not sure ofc, but san diego had a lot of croatian immigrants, mostly dalmatian tho, who mostly went for the fishing industry there and achieved their dreams afaik, i think it was in san diego, not sure, but a croatian there invented that reel for retrieving the nets from the sea so it wasn't done by hands, deckhands, that changed the entire industry and made it an industry world wide in fact.
      So i guess you will find some croatian place there, probably more with the mediterranean food tho, and not the continental one, but can be both ofc.

    Ohh man. Its fabulous watching you wax lyrical over the Kremsnita, which looks suspiciously like an Australian vanilla slice. Common as donuts down under although quality varies depending on where you buy them. We even make a mocha one. I suspect might be more polenta than standard custard considering the location. The food looks divine, as does the locale...rather envious and adding Croatia to my bucket list!

    For the best burek, you should go to Dolac market

    • @CrvenkapicaIVZNG

      Even as a child I got a burek there, when my mother was shopping with me by the hand, on the Dolac.

    I know this is an off the wall question, but do the windows there have screens?
    The mention that Zagreb looks like traditional Europe paired with the shot of the old man smoking his cigarette with a traditional grip is excellent.
    Your first Croatan dessert...you know it's good when he has it smeared all over his face.
    All I can say about the street sights of Zagreb...and especially the girl on the cable car...is Wow!
    Thanks so much for visiting this corner of the world, which seems to me to be too neglected. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the series. And the food.

    Love, love, love it! I haven’t been yet but 50/50 chance we’ll be there in Sept. If it doesn’t come together then next year for sure. Croatia intrigues me because it has beauty in landscapes and people with a complicated, tumultuous history. It’s unsettling to know that it wasn’t that long ago that this area was a total battlefield.
    That museum was quirky and cool. Food is heavy and delicious, just what you need to offset war torn memories. Great to see a glimpse of overlooked Zagreb before the touristy coast. But my favorite part was after the cable car, that cheeky “hi” to the passerby as you walked down. You were definitely feeling yourself. Can’t wait for the next one.
    P.S. What is your ethnic makeup? You look like a local.

    Tood to meet Helena. That museum seem strange and I hope it was free or a low admission .Your lunch looked delicious. You mentioned noticing all the beautiful people in the city. Not only women! Good for you being open minded and more embracing and accepting. I had a friend from California you loved to go to a certain part of Croatia ,I'll have to ask her where.
