The Balkans is a peninsula in Southeast Europe. It’s easy to find – it’s located to the right of “the booth” (Italy), just across the Adriatic. It consists of the countries that back in the day formed the former Yugoslavia, plus a few more. As far as this blog is concerned, we will be talking about the food that encompasses the ex-Yugoslavia region. As I am from Sarajevo, and grew up there before moving to the US as a teenager, a lot of focus will be given to food from Bosnia and Herzegovina. (For the curious ones, Bosnia is smack in the middle of ex-Yu. Btw, I’ll be referring to it as Bosnia for short, so when you see Bosnia think Bosnia and Herzegovina, or B&H).
