@alexcash205 sorry you may call it what you want in FYR Macedonia ali u Livnu BiH it is Burek ..!

Thanks James as the lawyers say 'There is no property in a witness' all users of this weird but loveable foodstuff have their own perspective on it - I am married to a Bosnian who made it for the family business for around 30 years and it sure is a staple in these parts.....! thanks for the viewing and the comment - we now live back in Bosnia and Burek making in this form still goes on.

[Brian395f]

thanks.. yes I think you are right - in shops mostly just Bosnia but in homes most of the six republics know how to make it and call it Burek when filled with meat. Thanks for the viewing

WOW My Husband is Ex-Yugoslavian too :D and we are living in Bracknell, where are you from exactly???

[Brian395f]

@kingdulos Pozdrav to you and your man - we lived in Wokingham from 2002 until 2007 in Jan 2008 (we used to live close to Wokingham Train Station). small world ha ha - we both moved permanently to Livno in Western Bosnia, Bisera is from that town originally - I am a lapsed christian she is a lapsed muslimanka both of us are more socialist in outlook so she has great memories of Bivsi Jugoslavia. if we are back over to visit we must call in to see you and hubby - my best regards Brian

@taybong show me in any yugoslav version of Serbo-Croat where the umlauted 'O' (meaning OE) is and I will eat my hat - sorry - you are talking about what you maybe call it elsewhere but in the six former republics of Yugoslavia it is BUREK (in Latino script or similar in Cyrillic script.

but thanks for the viewing. Pozdrav Brianina

@Brian395f али ипак је то ''наше'' Ниш ! :) али не изгледа овако :Р

[spiderleg234]

this is bosnian burek as well

[subzerocool85]

This thing is actually called ''Pita''. Something else is called ''Burek''. And that two can never be the same.

This is ''Burek'': watch?v=aKdmAjz22yc

i have been to thousands of food services to inspect, as a volunteer. the Greek (Hellas) use lamb and pork or beef ground with garlic and parsley. they braise it on a stick , and when the fat hits the fire it smells very good! mixing the proteins (milk, meat, eggs) with something else makes more of it to share. every one gets some extra nutrition! (very cheap that way.) - james mcashan for the US Government

I dont know how they call it elsewhere but and macedonia we just call it burek, and i always thought it was more of a bosnian than a yugoslav thing
