24 April: dinner at Artigiano, in Tiranë, Albania

the first dinner my friend and I had in Albania, at an Italian restaurant. if you haven't read my other posts about Albanian fare, it is very much Italian cuisine. hence, the risotto pictured here (r).

the dish on the left was an Albanian cornbread appetizer, and while I was not hungry enough to finish everything, the two pieces I did have were really yummy. the cornbread was thinner and crisper, and also less sweet, than like american cornbread, which is fair. it had a walnut spread on top, which was a nice texture but tbh a little flavourless. but it balanced the crispness of the cornbread crust imho. garnished on top of the spread were tomatoes and green peppers, the latter of which I admittedly picked off...

if I didn't have a main of risotto coming after the cornbread, I would have eaten all of it. but risotto is one of my favs and I didn't want to fill up on cornbread xD I sure could have though! definitely did not nEEd both dishes - the food was very satisfying and filling.

9/10, highly recommend the risotto, and recommend trying the traditional cornbread.

🔐, 🍓, and 🍇 for the get to know me asks :)

HI K!!!! It’s a super good surprise to see you in my ask box hehehe 💜

SO!! Anyways 👏🏻

🔐 — Something no one would guess about you.

That I’m 24 years old… Peoples always think that I’m 17/18, especially when I used to work at an Ice-Cream shop because it’s both a good and bad thing at the same time…

🍓 — Favorite food.

With favorite foods I go on periods, because they’re mostly Albanian foods and this time around it’s “Fërgës” super tasty guys, especially for peppers lovers like me sdjskdjskdjk

🍇 — A word your friends would use to describe you.

Selfless. This words got associated to me a lot since I turned 18 and some personal things happened to me, it started all from my mom actually, then went on with my brother, got passed to my best friend and slowly to everyone around us because of the whole situation. At some point it had gotten to a level that it didn’t seem anymore like a compliment at times but more like outsiders were pitying me so when I hear it now I get awkward… And sometimes uncomfortable too…

Thank you for playing this lil game with me K!! Hope and wish to hear more from you. We can talk anytime you want 🫶🏻💜

#kelin replies #answered #nohoneeeeeyy #ask game #get to know me #you guys i swear whenever peoples mistake me for 17/18 i’m like ‘i’m 24 tho?? ☹️’ because it makes me think that i look childish #how tf do i start look 24 as a 24s? is there a tutorial? somebody pass it to me? 💀 #i’ll never get tired of suggesting albanian food btw #there are many things WRONG with albanian as a country… but food music and muas are the best of it 🙏🏻

Ottomans: Colonize several different countries, are influenced by them as well as trying to impose their own culture on the people.

Modern day Turks when they see countries near them having similar dishes:

#turks act like the countries their ancestors colonized didn't already exist #they also act surprised that centuries of colonization have left their marks #the amount of turks i've had bullying me on instagram simply for being greek over the last couple of months! #and then albanians start joining in on the bullying greeks trend #and accuse us of stealing their culture #b*tch what 😂 #some will excuse it by saying ''it's not that we don't like greeks we just don't like how you stole from everyone!'' #because f our centuries old civilization am i right 😂 #turks came to greece not the other way around #and about the albanians #we know there were greeks who spoke both greek and albanian #back in the 19th century #i haven't heard anything about albania prior to that and certainly nothing about ancient albania #i had an uneducated b-word bullying me on insta #and one of the things she said was ''if greece didn't steal from albania then why are there so many albanians in greece?'' #because many have been migrating here since the 90s you dumb bimbo! #i am not reffering to every single person from these countries of course #you know the ones i am talking about #just eat the damn food #embrace the differences and the similarities between the cultures #read a history book #and don't be a dick #scorpion-flower #we were the kings and the queues #reaction #reaction post #greek #greece #greek posts #greek mythology

26 April: dinner at The Room, in Tirana, Albania

the poll on my travel blog post about Tirana has spoken: surprising source of comfort food! most of the food in Albania is Italian cuisine, which is good but I was happy to see a noodle-less dish too! Honestly, mashed potatoes, grilled chicken (with seasoning), and asparagus is one of my favorite combos for dinner.

the mash was creamy and delicious, perfect texture imho. chicken was perfectly grilled and expertly seasoned - it didn't taste like ohemgee spices, but it certainly had flavour. the asparagus was soft and tender, though i did wish for more than two sticks of it. the bread roll??? warm and fluffy. I am so glad that European gluten doesn't bother my tummy because I have been lOving eating bread outside of the states.

and tomatoes get their own little paragraph. I think Mediterranean tomatoes taste different than American tomatoes. idk what it is about it, but the tomatoes I've had in Spain, Italy, and now Albania I just couldn't get enough of. I'm pretty indifferent about American tomatoes, and British ones are hit or miss for me. if you aren't a huge fan of tomatoes but visit a country in the Mediterranean region and order a dish that comes with them, give them a try.

9/10, def recommend if you're in Tirana. whole dinner pairs well with an orange fanta btw.

My heart breaks for the Palestinians in Gaza, I still find it so hard to believe that people see the Israelans as the victims while they post videos of themselves mocking the Palestinians who don’t have clean water, electricity, food and ect. They are making “grwm war edition” where they bake bread to Israel soldiers. Also don’t believe that the Jews from Israel are mocking the people from Gaza?

And I have more videos of them calling the people from Gaza “human animals” where they are saying that their soldiers say that they want to kill the Gaza children and more. As an Albanian this bothers me a lot because I have friends from Palestine and you don’t need to be a Muslim or Palestinian to be support Palestine, you just need to be human.

Here are some sites where you can donate to:

Please help them you are their only hope and chance!!

I've read your pinned post and wanted to say something, as a white girl but also a South European: the "homestead" term is historically bounded to white supremacy, yes, but only in those countries of the Western world that actively participated in colonialism and built their economic fortune on slavery. I'm a contemporary history graduate and I can assure you NOT ALL OF WESTERN WHITE COUNTRIES WERE INVOLVED IN COLONIALISM. Go ask a Hungarian, a Moldovian, an Albanian if their grandparents were white suprematists because they owned a homestead and they will laugh. Also, some European peoples were themselves victims of colonialism. So please please please when you all talk about specific historic issues consider learning how to divide nowadays political discourse from actual historic work. "Fancy" political discourse has most of the time nothing to do with serious historic researches (at least, in European universities; I cannot speak for the level of academia in the US...).

I am also a history graduate student at a european university, but thank you for this ask anyway. I don't disagree with your general point-- that colonialism is not a strictly racial divide with white people being the colonizing party and all non white people the colonized. Like that's definitely true. When speaking about the term homestead, i am discussing it as a white supremacist dogwhistle, not saying that anyone who grows their own food is a racist. i would expect that the words agrarian subsistence farmers in hungary, moldova and albania used to describe their homes and their lifestyles would not be "homestead" because it is, an english word.

Consider also that this is a tumblr aesthetic blog and not a historical research conference, where the focus of discussion is, in fact the "fancy" (whatever that means in this context) political discourse which pervades the space and has pervaded it historically.

I'm sure as a student of contemporary history you would understand the historical connections between colonialism, white supremacy, and "blood and soil" rhetoric which used the visuals and languages of pastoralism. this is what i am referring to when i say that homestead is used as a dogwhistle.

also, the idea that a country or a people being subjects of colonialism means they cannot also, at the same or another time, be the perpetrators (or beneficiaries) of it is laughable. i would say that yes, EVERY western white country was involved in colonialism, to varying degrees, at the same time that some are/were subjects of it.

my apologies if this response was disorganized; but i found your assertion that political discourse (which i take from context here to be discussions of the current effects and manifestations of colonialism) not only is but should be largely divorced from serious historical study to be misguided at best. In fact I find it difficult to think of an example wherein the discussions are unrelated.

#i am unsure how you are defining 'real serious historical work' #such that is precludes discussion of the major political economic and philosophical underpinnings of the last four centuries #rosa mail #cw discussion of racism #im not an expert on post colonial theory or anything but... ?? #anyway if ive ever ignored ur ask its because when i answer one i immediately get eight more lol
