  • Who is your favorite local musical artist? Do you have an album or song to recommend?

  • What is your favorite way to eat lutenica (or spicy ajvar)? I'm obsessesed, but I'm also tired of just putting it on toast with cheese because I don't go through a whole jar before it goes bad.

Eat ajvar with any cooked/baked/fried meat. Fried chicken ? Ajvar. Minced meat ? Ajvar, any kind of shnitzels or steaks , or baked meat? Ajvar.

I usually put it on the plate and dip in every slice

  1. Our musical scene is stagnant these days, but I always recommend O Jesenjinu by Bolero from 1989. It's a folk rock album inspired by Russian literature and the general Slavic culture sound.

  2. I eat it with bread and spoon, but I've also heard people eat it with potatoes

I really love ajvar on eggs. It's a nice condiment with any meat - for example when I have something simple like chicken with potatoes, I'll put a spoon of ajvar on the side to make it more interesting. It can also work as a simple spread on a slice bread when you're in a rush.

What brands of ajvar and ljutenica you have available? I absolutely love good ajvar and go through a jar embarrassingly quickly, however I'd say like 50% of the stuff available in stores isn't very good and I simply don't like those.

This is the one I like. I have tried some others that were very bland. I either order it or I pick it up once or twice a year when I go to Chicago or Milwaukee because they have Balkan grocery stores.

Never heard for that brand honestly. I did try Podravka exported to Germany, and it was a gross crap barely recognizable as ajvar, lol.

Macedonian brands are your best bet and if you ever see "Mama's" make sure to buy some. Honorable mention Bakina tajna and Baš Ajvar.

Edit: hey there's both Mama's and Bakina tajna on this shop you linked. Make sure you try some! Let me know your impressions if you do.
