... How do you compare the Serbian cuisine to American?

Carbohydrates (pastry), meat and fats. Not that different. Though I prefer the taste of Serbian food (childhood memories). However, I find the choice for healthy eating in American supermarkets and restaurants wider and better. Visually, on the streets, the lack of whales is refreshing, I must admit.

When I was last in Bosnia, my associates there took me to a Mexican restaurant. The chicken was ok, but the "salsa" was, literally, ketchup.

Afterward we went to a bar that featured a U2 cover band. Good times

You haven't really lived until you've eaten in an "Italian" restaurant in Iceland.

Almost...Bolognese with ketchup base to give it that Italian flavor.

Ketchup seems to be the base substitute for all manner of red sauce outside the states

When I was ten years old my friend Michael O'Malley invited me to his house for a Spaghetti dinner one Friday night. In a time when Friday's were no meat days. I sat at the O'Malley dinner table of eleven, including me. Now I was raised in an Italian-American home and was looking forward to Spaghetti. It was served plain. A horror. Then the Ketchup was passed around. A Bigger Horror. I was dumbfounded. I asked for some butter and grated cheese.

This was 1966 New Jersey.

I ate spaghetti with ketchup when I was a kid in The Bronx. I'm not Italian.

That's the first and last time that I paid $60 for a plate of spaghetti.

That's almost $100 Canadian. I presume that was the cheapest item on the menu.

I was there in '97 and a bottle of Budweiser tall boy (not my brand) was $12 American. The prices for food were crazy. Rotten Shark was very reasonable. : )

I was there as a guest with the USAF. I was then a part of the Government Services Art Program. I have been on a number of trips with USAF from '86-'99. I enjoyed those trips immensely.

There's nothing in the world like getting the trots when you're airborne in a fighter.

"James Carville warns of 'end of days' if Dems choose Bernie: 'I'm not interested in being in a cult!'"

Quote

“The only thing, the only thing between the United States and the abyss is the Democratic Party. That’s it. If we go the way of the British Labour Party, if we nominate Jeremy Corbyn, it’s going to be the end of days. ... So I am scared to death, I really am," said Carville...

.. Carville added that he considered himself a "liberal" rather than a centrist -- but Democrats went too far even for him.

"They’ve tacked off the damn radar screen," he said when asked if the party moved too far left.

Sanders surging in New Hampshire to 28%. Interesting how last time in 2016, the anti-Trump media consistently said how bad Trump was doing. After all, they argued, his 30% votes in the nomination elections meant that 70% of the people voted for and wanted someone else. So he was going to lose. Interesting how they forgot this analysis standard in today's analysis for the Democrats. Based on their Trump analysis, Sanders has 72% of the people against him. Of course, the anti-Trump "fake-news" press was just spinning the news back then. Or did they have a point?

In 2008, Rush Limbaugh called on his listeners to vote for Hillary Clinton.
The talk-radio host referred to his plan as “Operation Chaos,” and urged Republicans to vote for Hillary Clinton in order to keep her competitive against Barack Obama, who was gaining momentum in that year’s nomination battle. The idea was to wear down the eventual Democratic nominee… mentally, physically, and financially.

Allegedly, this year, the GOP asked their voters to prop Bernie Sanders.
