we're trying traditional Albanian food today
found a place on Tripadvisor that was recommended didn't really know what to order so we just asked
our server basically to give us just all the traditional Albanian food so i'm not actually
sure if this is the right restaurant that's on Tripadvisor but we'll try it we're
just gonna go with it it should be good look at these big beans they said big
beans on the menu and i thought you know i put them in a big bowl of beans this was the traditional casserole this was the traditional salad and this bread it looks so good do you want to try the
beans since you ordered the beans yeah please and then i don't know do you eat this with the I'd say with the bread with the bread those are sizzling it's still it's still very hot it's still so hot i've never seen a big bigger bean how is it i've never tasted that kind of
bean before it's very creamy creamy is it like a lima bean its like they overgrew it goodness yeah that's really good that's a good bean that's a big big bean so i'm going to try the traditional casserole it's cheese and peppers i'm sure there are other
ingredients as well but that's all that was on the ricotta cheese it reminds me of what you would
dip in like i don't know that's so good the bread my word no the cheese oh but what about the
bread though the bread's amazing too but kinda tastes like a taco the bread immediately reminded me of turkey i can't figure out what
reminds me but it's so good grilled vegetables and it looks like there's like
a balsamic glaze on it maybe its good it has a ton of balsamic on it which
you say i appreciate it but it's almost overpowering that it is a little bit
because it's the only thing that's less balsamic to taste the
grill of the veggies but its so good and what's hilarious is we just ordered
a whole bunch of stuff and we didn't know if we had enough food this isn't even the
main course we saw a whole big plate of meat but i could just eat all this you said you think
you figured out what the casserole tastes like it reminds me of like when you're
having a seven-layer dip or something at a party but
it's just a very American thing like it tastes like that on your palate but
it's gonna feel better than that in your stomach Layla's going to try the traditional salad i got olive feta cheese there's a tomato cucumber and lettuce and i'm
going to try it it's a big bite so how is it very good is it salad-y the olive and the feta really
goes to sweet cucumber and lettuce very very fresh yeah because so fresh it kind of
tastes like has like a melon taste one interesting thing about Albania that we've
noticed so far is that most the restaurants serve small plates as opposed to having one big meal you
order a couple of small plates family style which is pretty cool you can really easily get a lot of
variety and it's all still really cheap talking about plates the plates are too small to fit
all the yummy food just gonna add that typically i don't like my food to touch or i try at least
not too too much especially with different sauces but for this i don't care at all it's also
good it can mix all on my plates totally fine there's several different types of meat
in this platter and this is the small one chicken lamb sausage chicken wings what are you going to try i'll try some of this sausage i feel like ever since we've been to the
balkans the meat has been next level it's so well seasoned and so good what is this came
from the sky tastes like what i got mostly fat the season is good though one thing that i've noticed um
albania that's different than a few of the other places we've been is there's
a huge vegetarian and also vegan options it's nice because i don't always like
a ton of meat so it's nice to be able to eat a whole bunch of yummy beans
and salads and veggies and meat so they cooked the meat fresh like right behind our
table and then grilled it's all so so good like i said there's lamb and chicken wings and grilled
chicken and sausage the chicken wings are amazing some sort of rib piece i think
it was all so so good it's insane what i like meat the good thing about
the meat here is that you pretty much know it's fresh just the other day i saw
a guy putting two lambs in his trunk of his minivan so there's meat markets all
over the place butcher shops fish markets i'm going to attempt to give the chef a
message the food was amazing thank you so much we thought we were finished but
our waiter just brought us some fresh fruit like this really pretty fruit
salad and some cloves on the bottom oranges and some walnuts and a glaze it
looks like the fruit's so fresh let's go to england and get some
crumpets yeah and i can't remember what's happening we're eating food guys
