It’s considered “the queen of spices” according to this article from All Recipes

I think it’s delicious. Do you like Cardamon?

Birds in the Tree and a Barrel

One of these birds is not like the others…

Birds roosting and squawking always reminds me of the 1963 Hitchcock movie The Birds

Makovnjaca /Poppy Seeds

Poppy seed cake/sweet bread. This delicious one photographed now is from Bread Club in Zagreb.

Here’s a Croatian recipe (in English) for Makovnjaca.

In 2011 I posted about Povitica. A loaf that reveals a swirl of poppy seed filling or walnuts when sliced and is found in many different countries. I can’t distinguish the two names except the one we ate with tea was moist and flavorful.

Do you like poppy seeds?

An Outdoor Oven at Kezele-Vino

Experience “Rural Tourism” and delicious food at Kezele-Vino “The Kezele family founded rural tourism based on the family tradition of preparing cauldrons and producing wine. On the property, visitors can enjoy wooden houses that are around 100 years old, where they can enjoy dishes from local cuisine and wine from their own cellar . The experience of a real farm is rounded off by a wonderful view of the vineyards, a stable with domestic animals and an ethnographic collection with wonderful antiquities.”
