Hide Your Prsut & Paski Sir
Yes people, I'm going to Croatia.
In exactly one week, the boy and I will be jetting off to (hopefully) sunny, warm and lovely Split. We'll stay there a few days, head down the coast to Hvar, hopefully hop to a few other islands and then end up in Dubrovnik.
Have any of you been to Croatia before? I'd love restaurant recommendations as well as thoughts on places to go and things to do. I'm a huge archaeology geek so ruins are always appreciated! And being true New Yorkers, we're not renting a car (too scary) so we have to be able to get to things by ferry, bus or bike.
While I'm gone, I'm going to try and post some fun little tidbits, but, if I can't get that set up, I promise I'll come back with all sorts of traditional Croatian recipes, deconstructed and ready to cook up in the kitchen.
Hvala vamti!!
By the way, prsut is Croatian prosciutto, and paski sir is a goat's milk cheese from a little island called Pag.

Get out!!! Gee, I wish I could give you a big Elaine Bennis (Seinfeld) shove. That’s great. I’ve never been there, but I’ve heard wonderful things. You will come back with fabulous pictures, because you’re great with a camera, girl!

i looked into this for a trip to croatia that i unfortunately ended up not being able to take about six years ago. i remember reading, i forget where, that the pizza is actually really good, i guess because of its proximity to italy. i would imagine seafood would also be reliably yummy on the coast.

Ann, that’s so cool! I can hardly wait to see your pictures (of food and otherwise). My family makes strukli - dumplings that appear in many different forms in Croatian culture. Sometimes they’re sweet, sometimes not. I imagine you’ll run across them!
