This past week, Milica and I decided to taste some Eastern Europe. Last semester, we went to Balkan Restaurant. This semester, we visit two food markets here in Richmond: Aida European Food Market and 2M Mediterranean Market and Deli. I am happy to say that I used some Bosnian, and the store owners were very receptive and amused. The host at 2M fed us free hummus. It was delicious. And he bragged about his adopted Guatemalan son in elementary school, who is loved by all women, loves going to Bosnia, is sweet, straight A award winning student. It was one of the cutest promotions I've ever heard. A picture of the man is attached in the word document. marketPics.docx When they heard an Asian man speak their language with some decent pronunciation, it looked as if though they were doing all they could not to burst out laughing. Anyhow, the food was good and I thought the people were friendly. I am now familiarized myself with some Eastern European (and some Western European) food/dessert delicacies. I've attached a word document with some pictures.
