A friend and I have just discovered two new markets in our community.
One is an African market and the other is Bosnian. What are the kinds
of things that we should be looking for in these markets. What are
good buys. Interesting things to try. Different ethnic markets are a
relatively new thing for my city and we've decided that we are going
to make this winter an 'international' one by choosing a different
market and a different cuisine each week. Help us out and give us
some tips.
Thanks

I've never seen a Bosnian market. I might look for cevapcici (pron.
sevapchichi) there, though I think these tasty little sausages are
Serbian. -aem

I don't know if they're also serbian, but I'm sure they're common in
Slovenia, the northernmost part of former Jugoslavia. Then people in south
and eastern Friuli Venezia Giulia have adopted them long ago.

seasonings that are new to you migt be nice, please keep reporting here as

KEWL! Not knowing much about either cuisine, I'm pretty sure the
Bosnian one will have what you need for Hungarian and other dishes of
the general area because food boarders are blurred around there.

I think the first thing I'd look for in the African grocery is
"groundnuts", just because I'm curious. I see African recipes calling
for ground nuts and from what I can figure out, they aren't peanuts
but peanuts are a suitable substitution. Secondly, check to see how
well they can supply what you'll need for North African cuisine...
Morocco and Egypt in particular. If you're on Facebook, you can join
the Moroccan cooking group to ask questions and get lots of
inspiration.

FWIW: there's a plug-in for Chrome that pops up whenever you reach a
web page written in another language. I'm finding it very handy for
translating recipes.

Real yams that are not sweet potatoes might be available at the African
one. It might be fun to try one of those giant roots.

They are huge. I wonder if they might sell pieces. Africa must vary
so much in tastes just like the US. We'll just have to look around.

I'd be sorely tempted to ask the owner of the store for some
recommendations and methods. Get to know the folks.

Do you indeed Well, when I used to visit Bosnia Herzogovina they did, but
I have to say, it was many years ago. I had a refugee staying with us for
a few years during the war . He was very fussy about some things but never
bacon and sausages But who knows, maybe he and his family and friends
were a one off

Pork. Most Muslims object to pork. Lots of sausage is made from pork.

We had a cook when we lived in Bangkok who was Muslim. My parents "won" a
roast suckling pig at the Marine Corps Ball. They put it on the kitchen
table and went to bed. When the cook came into the kitchen that morning and
saw the pig she shrieked! Not because she was Muslim, mind you. She just
wasn't expecting to see a pig on the table! LOL IIRC, my dad fed the meat
to the dog.

But that isn't the meat that can be used in sausage.

Here. Elsewhere sausages are mainly beef or lamb. Cevapcici is both.

Cevapcici
http://www.marga.org/food/int/bosnia/cevap.html

Ingredients

1 Tbs. butter
1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 lb ground lamb
1 lb ground beef
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1 Tbs. sweet Hungarian paprika
2 Tbs. onions, finely chopped.

Instructions

Heat the butter in a small frying pan and when it starts to foam add
the onions and garlic. Fry, stirring occasionally, until soft, around
6 to 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix the lamb, beef, egg and spices in a bowl. When ready,
add the onion and garlic mixture. Mix well. Shape into small
cylinders, approximately 1" x 2" and arrange in a plate. Cover with
plastic wrap, wax paper or a towel and refrigerate for one hour to one
day, to let the flavors settle and the mixture become firm.

Arrange the cevapcici on skewers about 1/4" apart from each other.
Grill or pan fry in medium heat until done to your preference. Serve
sprinkled with chopped onions and accompanied with pita bread.

How about sucuk (and various similar spellings and transliterations,
according to the language in question), sosis (this name is used across
the world, from Turkey to Indonesia), merguez, maqaniq, mumbar dolmasi,
khassip, qazi, etc? These are sausages made with meat other than pork
and they tend to be mighty popular in their respective (Muslim)
countries...

I am aware, but also know they are fairly rare.
