Burek debate: meat, cheese, potato, or all of the above (friendly rules)

6 replies · 272 views

Rules of engagement: this debate is friendly. We respect all burek and all burek makers. The only offense is pretending that a different filling is not real burek.

My statement: meat burek with a glass of yogurt is the foundation of civilisation. Cheese burek is a close second. Potato I accept, warmly. Pizza burek (it exists) I look at with polite suspicion.

Vote with your filling and one sentence. Bonus: the best bakery in your city that you've never told anyone about.

Sarajevo here. In the old town the pita is stretched until you can read a newspaper through it. Meat, cheese, spinach, potato, all legitimate. The only mistake is eating it cold.

We say burek with cheese and a bit of egg for breakfast. I'm not arguing, just eating.

Бурек са сиром и кисело млеко. Ништа даље не треба.

Split votes for blitva and a good piece of fish. But a burek at 6 am before a boat job, no complaints.

Here in Toronto I found one bakery that comes close. I won't say where because it'll get crowded. But the owner lets me argue about the filling and that's enough.

Sir, ma'am, all of you: with cheese. Done.
