At this point i am 100% convinced that passport control in UK airports is deliberately awful. But what is the reason for it? Nowhere is that bad. Awful queues extremely long badly designed spaces very confined.
Why? Heathrow today is the worse of all so far.

Are you having a lovely quiet holiday coffee by the lake? Chilling? Why not get a bit of pointless leafblower action in front of you for hours...that will be not annoying. The smell of petrol as well.

It might sound strange as a concept to have a food history festival online! But this being our first time and all living in different places across the UK it made sense. Plus ppl can join from all over the world. And attendees can watch the talks they've missed later at their own leisure!

4/x It's the foods, the dishes, the recipes that bring us together! These have no borders, and similar recipes have been shared by the Balkan people for generations across our modern borders! Here's some delicious stuff!

Ajvar the delicious moreish spread of cooked roasted red peppers from North macedonia. Meat bourek. A pie to die for! Baked beans, the massive Prespa beans called giant beans in a traditional clay pot with red peppers and paprika! The street food of the bygone eras of the Balkans! Čevapčici (Kebačinja) basically finger thin meat patties, sort of long burgers served wirth bread ajvar and onion and whatever else you like to!

🧵 3/x
But aside from food the Balkans has natural beauty galore, and wild life and mountains and forests, bears and wolves and shepherds leading a pastoral life, practising transhumance. Cheeses, and meats, and lake fish, smoked pork feature heavily in the diet alongside pies!
Black and white photo of pastoral scene of the Vlach people most likely who went up and down the mountains and the valleys of the Balkans with their animals Black and white photo with people in horses and donkeys carrying equipment of the shepherds and nomadic people of the Balkans. The small Lake Prespa with the ruins of St Ahilleios Byzantine church and snow capped mountain tops. A winter scene from Lake Ohrid, an old old lake shared between Albania and North Macedonia.

🧵2/x:
Well the Balkans has more sweet enticing propositions than you'd think! See for example those two desserts, part of the culinary tradition, stretching back centuries!
Like these two below:
Bled Cream Cake
Rose Baklava
A small plate with a dessert called "bled cream cake" on it, short of mille-feuille in the centre. On the right slight out of focus another plate with the same dessert. Directly above a coffee cup. All on a table with a cloth. The cover of the book The Balkan Kitchen by Irina Janakievska. A from the top view of a plate with six pieces of rose baklava in a platter, with two glasses of something loking like milky tea on the right, and a little bowl of dried roses on the right bottom.

The next episode of the pod is released tomorrow and it's all about the region of the world we call Balkans & I'm from, too! I interviewed Irina Janakievska, writer of The Balkan Kitchen, she hails from N.Macedonia just across the border from where I'm from! Can't wait to share it! Read alt txt pls!
The cover of a old Yugoslav era cookbook, circa 1950s, that Irinas grandma had since 1956, and Irina rediscovered after her death. The page inside the cookbook where Irina's grandmother circled the recipe that she made two weeks after her birth dedicated to her newborn granddaughter: a chocolate cake i believe.
