During the summer members of Rotary Club Sofia International visited the Leskovac Grill Festival in Serbia (Serbian: Роштиљијада, Roštiljijada, also translated as “barbecue week”). It is a yearly grilled-meat festival organized in Leskovac. The main boulevard of the city is closed for traffic for five days and is filled with grill-stands to create many temporary restaurants.
.
The organizers hold different competitions, for example for making the World’s Biggest Burger – the Pljeskavica. The choice between Pljeskavica (burger), Ćevapčići (ground meat sticks), Vešalica (grilled strips of pork loin), Mešano meso (mixed grill) and pigs and lambs on BBQ proved to be quite challenging, thus the members of the club opted to try out all of the dishes.
.
On the way back the group stopped in the beautiful city of Niš for a coffee and ice cream, before continuing back to Sofia.
.
The trip was very interesting and emotional. Thanks to our friend – the actor Yordan Danchev and because of his popularity crossing the border was easy, fun, and exciting.
