Is Albanian Qumeshtor(http://www.agrecipes.com/recipe-for-qumeshtor-milk-pie/) closer to Galatopita(http://greekfood.about.com/od/cakes/r/Custard-Pie-Galatopita.htm) or Galaktoboureko(http://greekfood.about.com/od/phyllopastriesbaklava/r/Custard-Phyllo-Pie-Recipe-Galaktoboureko.htm)

I have no idea what any of those foods are, but I love that opera.

This is an alternative version of something that first time was played more like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsZSwCQGyiw


I guess the use of clarinet can suffice as "Balkan".

It's danced as Syrtos Roumelis(Central Greece) which seems quite a pan-Greek dance.Can't find much about it in the rest of Balkans,someone post it if it exists.

I don't know of their origin but from wikipedia seems that it's Easternish(as in West-Asian).

I hear about Balkan culture and want to understand its context.

I'm 300% Armenian brought by the Byzantines to guard the borders+Judenkatsanoi+Azeri islander.

Or maybe not a wannabe internet Pericles and I want to get in the end of things.

[Arbërori]

My God, qumeshtor is the best... Obviously Galatopita, I've never tried the second one, but the pics look the same? lol

Qumeshtor tastes kinda creme-bruleish, although in Macedonia we also call it Kajmaqin?

Balkan culture = Highly emotionally intelligent people gone of the bandwagon due to Turkish invasion, add hashtags #ancient #cultures #languages #unique #music #themostbeautifulwomen #thebestmothers #thebestfood #amazingspiritualconscience #truefamilyties #undyingrespect #loyalty blah blah blah... p.s. swearing is a regular part of our vocabulary.

I met a gorgeous Romanian girl last night, she just moved here & you could definitely feel that Balkan connection, through our conversation and everything... Something the rest of Europe will probably never have/understand.

We call it "курабийка". It also means "Woman who beats her man's dick" :laugh:

Why is it eaten only in Greece and Bulgaria, don't other Balkan women beat their men's dicks?

Maybe its originis are from ancient Greece, the cradle of homosexuality. Men with skirts...

Don't know if its eaten in other Balkan countries but doesn't seem so from wikipedia.

In Greece is used a slur,eg "that Kurabies"="that idiot".

Lel,there are some theories that it originates from Romans and I found interesting that it collerates with Sardinian outfits.

They are quite strong but tasty too. I think the origin of the word gurabia/kurabia must be in Albanian as gur/i means stone , so strong as stone .

[Hithaeglir]

Good question.I was always confused when i read in certain threads,the term "Balkan culture".

[Faklon]

Wikipedia gives Iran and Azerbaijan as the origin.

Maybe there is another better explanation but Albanian guri is quite interesting too.

I do not know what this word means in the above mentioned languages.

Balkan nations whos cultural and social development occured under Ottoman rule with little to no western influence are culturally Balkanic.

[Arianiti]

I think that Balkan culture means a mix of east and west culture, not necessarily only islamic/ottoman but also orthodox. Balkan is an ottoman word to begin with.

[Faklon]

Peninsula should be renamed to Haemians to avoid Turkish/Ottoman cultural influence or don't care for it at all?

[Styrian Mujo]

I think that Balkan culture means a mix of east and west culture, not necessarily only islamic/ottoman but also orthodox. Balkan is an ottoman word to begin with.
I think Balkan culture would have developed very diferently if it wasn't for the the Ottoman empire. Balkan Orthodox Christian culture also developed under Ottoman influence and I'm not even sure if Orthodoxy would have existed without Turks since the Byzanite empire was in decline and I think it would have been likely that Western European catholic kingdoms would have conquered the Balkans.

Balkan Orthodox Christian culture also developed unde Ottoman influence and I'm not even sure if Orthodoxy would have existed without Turks since the Byzanite empire was in decline and I think it would have been likely that Western European catholic kingdoms would have conquered the Balkans.

So the point is by who you would be conquered?

No matter how much you love Western Euros,all has been done now.

Christianity in all Europe developped from what it would be later called Orthodoxy.

[Arianiti]

I think Balkan culture would have developed very diferently if it wasn't for the the Ottoman empire. Balkan Orthodox Christian culture also developed under Ottoman influence and I'm not even sure if Orthodoxy would have existed without Turks since the Byzanite empire was in decline and I think it would have been likely that Western European catholic kingdoms would have conquered the Balkans.

The change started by establishing the Eastern Empire first, then with the settlement of barbaric groups in this region (mixture of different barbarian groups who later were named by a uniform name Slavs by Byzantine people), with the conquest/arrival of ottomans, who frankly speaking saw themselves as the continuation of Byzantine Empire. I think, therefore, that they have adopted more from the people here than vice-versa.

And as Faklon said, Christianity has its roots in this region before the Great Schism happened, and now everyone thinks that the Western part owns Christianity too.
