Serbian Beef

**Vuk** · 10-06-2009, 01:25

When I was in Serbia this Spring, staying at Sarmatian's place in Serbia, and a relative of his in Beograd, I had a type of beef that was absolutely delicious. It was smoked and cut thin. I loved it, but cannot remember the name for the life of me.

Well, I still think Parmesan Prosciutto is the best non-cooked meat in the world

. Probably the best meat period. That stuff is unforgettable

Pršuta (Prosciutto)

The one you've eaten was made in the traditional way, on the mountain Zlatibor. You'll have a hard time finding that outside Serbia. Even in Serbia sometimes.

ahhh, thank you. Yeah, that was really good (better even than jerky :P). I was just curious as to whether I would be able to find something similar around here, but I doubt it. :P
So how is it going in Novi Sad?

You know what they say - Serbia is where it's at. At some point in their lives, all people must come to Serbia.

Well you can try Italian, but I'm not sure if they use beef. You'd have to check that.

Great, we're having a longer summer this year. Warm and sunny October. And after ******* around for a few years, I'm finally gonna graduate in a month or two.

What's up in Wisconsin? The cold, icy winds from Canada still blowing? :D

lol, nice. Grats on graduating. I am in my senior year as well, but I will have to stay in another semester to get my degree. :( The weather here is crappy as usual. :P Cold and rainy, and almost no summer at all. :P I miss the weather in Hungary and Serbia sooo much!

Italian version is pork, IIRC. And it is very thinly sliced. What of the Serbian version? The photos I have seen on Google suggest otherwise. Italian prosciutto is of exceedingly unique flavour, nothing resembling America beef jerky. If Vuk says your Serbian meat is like jerky, then there can be no comparisons between the Italian and Serbian versions, in the face of their completely different nature.
