Nothing wrong with souvlaki or gyro. You MUST have it over bbq though. Commercialized versions of it do NOT hold a candle to what we do here in the summer.;)
As for cevapi, mebbe.

oh all this food talk is making me hungry, specially some of the yummy food.

When I bought a large frozen box to take home after a a cultural grocery shopping spree, it's the only close thing I could get up here in Aurora. (I know, shu-up, blasphemy, I KNOW!)
I LOVE KAJMAK!!! its soo expensive but soo tasty! my dad get's the in etobicoke... soooo fattening ... drool.. i want some!

You'd think we were talking about Béarnaise sauce or Crème brûlée or Cincinatti Chili or any of those complicated dishes that chefs can never quite agree on the preparation or even the origin of. Aside from some minor variations on the amount of garlic and pepper and a few "fancy" additions like spinach or cheese, I haven't seen much dispute and certainly don't taste much of a difference.
Strange how I only ever seem to hear this nonsense about the bland Eastern European specialties. I've never heard an Asian tell me that there's a well-kept "secret" to perfect Thai red curry even though there are 50 different recipes for it.
lol, im not bullting you. i have no idea how they make it. i just know that the original cevapi from bosnia dont have any pork meat in it. there is hundreds of variations and none of them can even come close to cevapi from zeljo on bascarsija.
same deal with leskovacka pljeskavica (burger from leskovac). all that i knowe about that one is that they use meat from the pigs neck and it has to stay in the open for x hours. and theres nothing in the world that taste that good.

There are tons of these little places around Lawrence and Vic Park. First one that comes to mind (and probably the best) is Mak. It's so easy to make it yourself, though, you just roll up some beef and/or lamb with garlic and onion and toss it on the grill...
of course you can make it yourself, and you're right it isn't hard to make..my mom makes her own cevapi all the the time but there is noo way you can compare home made cevapi to what you'd get at one of our restaurants. These ppl have years of experience in making cevapi and i'm sure they don't follow just the basic recipe you'd get off the internet lol. You're gonna tell me you can make them as good. I'd like to see that. It's like me saying my vietnamese friend's homemade Pho is as good as the one I get at one of the Vietnamese restaurants...AS IF!!! LOOL

lol never knew you were a fan of pho :P But actually I prefer the taste of home made pho vs. restaurant pho cause they load it up with MSG. My mouth always gets really dry after I eat pho at a Vietnamese restaurant.

haha... no wonder i can't get my pho to taste like the restaurant one. where can i buy msg? :toothless
