EPIC ALBANIAN Food & Raki | Boboshticë, Albania

WE WENT ON AN EPIC TRADITIONAL ALBANIAN FOOD & RAKI HUNT in Boboshticë, Albania!!! We cannot even put into words how amazing this day was.. Albania and the people of Albania just continue to amaze us every day. We got dropped off at the centre of Boboshticë which is just a 10 minute drive outside of Korçë!! We walked around Boboshticë for an hour or so, before making our way to the amazing Vila Melko Restaurant which is just a 2 minute walk from the very centre of Boboshticë. THE FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE! We were invited into the kitchen of Vila Melko and had a first hand experience of how to make the famous LAKROR! Lakror is a traditional and common regional Albanian pie dish of Albania made with different fillings consisting of various vegetables or meat. Lakror is associated mainly with Korçë and its surrounding areas and considered a specialty by local Albanians. The pie is made in some other parts of southern Albania too! We also had Kokoretsi!!! Kokoreç is a dish of the Balkans, consisting of lamb or goat intestines wrapped around seasoned offal, including sweetbreads, hearts, lungs, or kidneys, and typically grilled; a variant consists of chopped innards cooked on a griddle. The intestines of suckling lambs are often preferred here in Albania. Monuments in Boboshticë : The village is home to the Church of Saint Demetrius and of Saint John the Forerunner. Both churches have been declared Cultural Monuments of Albania. The mural icons of Saint John's church have considerable resemblance with the ones from the Arbanasi village in Bulgaria, and many ones from a series of villages from North Macedonia, Greece and Bulgaria (Mesemvria, Kastoria, Veria, etc.). Until the 1960s two Orthodox monasteries were active next to Boboshticë; the Monastery of Saint Nicholas (Alb: Shën Kollit) on the east, and Monastery of the Dormition of the Theotokos (Alb: Shën Mërisë) on the south. The monasteries had dedicated guest rooms for hosting pilgrims from other areas of the Balkans during religious feasts and events. The St. Mary monastery had a Prilepska room for guests coming from Prilep area, and an Ohridska for guests coming from Ohrid area. Saint Nicholas was a stauropegic monastery, it was destroyed during the atheistic policies by the authorities of the Peoples Republic of Albania, but now has been restored. We highly recommend anyone watching to come to Albania ASAP!!
