A Vegetarian in the Balkans

I feel healthier than I did back home because I'm eating so much fresh and vitamin-packed food, not because I'm super healthy, but because there's just so little processed food here.

How is the food prepared?:

The preparation depends on the dish. Almost everything, from meat, to eggs, to salad, is served with a salty white cheese similar to feta, cucumbers and tomatoes.

There are also a lot of quick spots to get bread and baked dishes. You won't go more than a block without seeing a bakery where fresh bread, croissants and pastries filled with cheese or meat are made dail for a super low cost. Today I bought a big loaf of fresh bread and a chocolate croissant for less than $1.00. Yum!

Is this food connected to the local environment? How?:

Yes! The food here is simple, fresh, affordable and filling. The climate allows for the growth of incredible produce, and the economy demands that food be affordable.
