Sooo...to those acquainted with balkan cured meats...any opinions on the smoked/cured/dried pork loin? I got one of these, I think its a suva svinyska prsuta or something. Scared the dickens out of my wife for how red it looked when sliced, it being pork and all, but quite interesting. We think we still prefer suva govedina on the whole but it was nonetheless rather an interesting product.
For dinner last night I had a huge plate of suva govedina, the prsuta, ljuta kobasica, cheese, roasted red peppers, green olives, black olives, dill pickles, celery sticks, green peppers, cucumber, ajvar and crackers. Oh, and lots of beer. The wife had friends over so I holed up in the mancave and watched Michael Caine affect a poncey British officer (still, a VC recipient, though) in "Zulu". Such a frightfully entertaining, albeit grossly inaccurate, movie.
