Lutenica is for the true warriors

Breakfast for Champions...

    Ljutenica, Lyutenitsa or Lutenica (Bulgarian: лютеница, Serbian: љутеница, Macedonian: лутеница), (ljuto, lyuto or luto meaning spicy) is a national relish of Bulgaria, the Republic of Macedonia and Serbia.Ljutenica may be slightly hotter (spicier) than the other popular relish Ajvar (Bulgarian tradition Lyutenitsa is less hot than Ajvar). In recent years, industrial production of lutenica, as well as ajvar, has flourished. A large scale production of both relishes under recipes and procedures very similar to the way these products are made at home has popularized them outside the Balkans. In addition, it has to be noted that different regions and countries have substantially different interpretations of these relishes.

   Lutenica is not only delicious it is used by native Bulgarian Indians to paint themselves.It is an ancient tradition to paint yourself with lutenica before every alcohol involved battle in the mountain...

[Thanks Heaven For The Lutenica. For everything else there is Mastercard...]
