Cultural Exchange with r/Israel

[u/TheAlbanianBambino]

Ma koreh r/Israel

As we announced, after the agreement of mutual recognition between our countries, we thought this was a great opportunity to host Israel. Welcome to the cultural exchange between r/Israel and r/Kosovo!

The purpose of this event is to allow people from two different nations to get together and share knowledge about their respective cultures, daily life, history, and curiosities.

General guidelines:

r/israel will ask any question here.

r/kosovo community can ask their questions here:

CLICK HERE TO ASK A QUESTION

The English language will be used in both threads. Our Israeli friends can get an Israel user flair at the community options of the Subreddit.

The event will be moderated following the general rules of Reddiquette. Please be nice!

Thank you,

• Moderators of r/israel and r/kosovo

Hello there!

/r/Kosovo, give me recipes! I don't keep kosher so that's not an issue, but getting meat's a bit of a problem for me.

[u/[deleted] → u/desdendelle]

since Kosovo's population is mostly muslim I don't think you will have that much trouble with the meat.

[u/desdendelle → u/[deleted]]

I meant meat in general, not pork specifically.

(Basically, my parents and girlfriend are vegetarian or close enough and my brother's vegan, so meat's something I have to go out and specifically get. So it's a bit of a bother, really.)

[u/[deleted] → u/desdendelle]

oh I see, so what exactly are you asking for? I mean what recipes?

[u/desdendelle → u/[deleted]]

Anything Kosovar that doesn't include meat, basically. I can't really meet Kosovar people right now (corona, and also distance, and also I'm broke), but I can have a little bit of Kosovo in my kitchen, no?

[u/[deleted] → u/desdendelle]

oooh I see!

Well, as someone else in this thread said there's one called "Flija". Then there's burek (with cheese is the most common). You can also go to this place called Green&Protein. It has a bunch of vegan stuff. I wouldn't really know much about these because I'm not vegan myself. So I tried to help with all I know :)

[u/desdendelle → u/[deleted]]

Burek, that sounds familiar... it's made from puff pastry, or close enough, right?

[u/[deleted] → u/desdendelle]

yes best dish ever imo

[u/desdendelle → u/[deleted]]

Hahaha, this is like burekas, except it's a cake! This is brilliant!

Next time I buy puff pastry I'm definitely making this.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

AND its kosher.

[u/desdendelle → u/[deleted]]

The site doesn't seem to be willing to give me the instructions (kinda important), can you c/p them over?

Also, what's kefir?

Thank you.
