You might have realized by now that they do many things differently in the Balkans. This is also the case with the food, which is diverse, filling, and influenced by a number of different cuisines.
Recently, TikTok users have discovered that people in the Balkans have quite a unique assortment of food for breakfast and have started the “Balkan breakfast” trend. Forget about cereal, bagels, pancakes, and orange juices. In the Balkans, people like to start their day with cheese, cured meats, raw veggies, Ajvar, and a lot of bread.
The start of the “Balkan breakfast” trend is credited to user @.dayi_. Back in September, @.dayi_ shared a video showing him eating cheese, raw veggies like tomatoes and bell peppers, and bread.
After the clip went viral, getting close to seven million views, other TikTok users rushed to try it out. It also prompted people from the Balkans to share their own versions.
Serbian TikTok user @balkandad pointed out that a lot of people are forgetting to add a drinkable yogurt to their Balkan breakfast routine. He adds that the proper way of consuming Balkan breakfast is eating “little by little, the bite of this, the bite of that.”
