So I looked this up and found a restaurant in Germany? The food looks amazing and I’m going to have to find recipes for half their menu.
So the way this discussion is going, it reminds me of an old cookbook that describes curry as “a gravy laden with spices and made with the milk of coconut.” While the description conveys the details well, I don’t think any sane person would say gravy and curry are the same category. The issue comes from the difference in cultural meanings and the way languages steal words. My classifications are based off the mid western American concepts of hotdog and there for would not work outside of a region familiar with it.
I guess the only good option to finally solvr this debate would be a latin taxonomy like we do for animals and plants.
I checked this and it looks alright. They sure got the ugly menu aesthetic right so it might be decent balkan grill.
About those recipes. I will have to check tomorrow it’s a bit late now. Also after thinking a bit I actually realised you can get most things you need for a good balkan barbeque just in the store here. You can get the bread, the ajvar, the kajmak, the meat and so on.
I will definitely find something to recomend and if not I’ll just tell you how to make sač. That’s more of an actual recipe than just the normal grill.
I don’t think any sane person would say gravy and curry are the same category.
Why? Culinary, curry and gravy are quite similar, and serve similar functions. Obviously they don’t taste all that similar, but I don’t think that really matters much when you consider the vast variety of flavors that curries come in.
And actually, now that I think of it, Japanese curries do share quite a few flavors with a Western meat-dripping-based gravy. In fact, I’m pretty sure the directions on the package curry cubes I get from the Asian grocer refer to the curry sauce as “gravy”. So yeah, actually, plenty of sane people put curry and gravy in the same category, for solid reasons.

Send me the name and place of the restaurant so I can check out how authentic their food is. Or I can send you some recipes.
Here’s the site but I’ll totally take any recipe you have to share!
