Welcome! You are better in English than I am any of the 3 languages I have studied (Latin, French, and Irish). I don't think I've met anyone from Macedonia on any of the internet boards I've been on. There was a woman from Mongolia on one board, but she hardly ever posted anything.

I don't think those countries are in the same neigbourhood exactly (Measuring with a piece of paper on my monitor on Google maps, it seems the distance from Macedonia to Mongolia roughly equals the distance from New York to Portugal!)

Yes yes yes Ajvar is like the best thing in the world xaxaxaxa and macedonian ajvar is the best xaxaxaxax .Well xaxaxa after a consultation with my mum noo we don't use garlic and chili flakes , and that is one way of making it, but there are a lot ofdiferent recepies too .

Thank you, I like making recipes from all different places. Macedonia looks absolutely beautiful from the photographs, too. When I try my hand at making ajvar, I will let you know the results.
