So I'm in Croatia and I had burek for the first time and it came with a little cup of... the menu called it "homemade sour milk" but it was more like... part sour cream, part runny yogurt? Anyway it was in this cute little mug cup thing on the plate. And I'm like, "Well it's on the plate so I guess it's like a sauce??? Like you don't want to pour it all at once and saturate the pastry, but you kind of... slosh as you go? I think???" so I did that and it was good! The acidity cut the butteriness of the pastry and gave a little saucy factor to the meat but then later I looked it up on wikipedia and you're supposed to... drink the yogurty stuff? Like it's kind of like that situation where sometimes people will just have a whole-ass pepper as part of their meal and chomp it every so often to give the next few bites of the meal the spicy factor?? Have I committed a crime? Am I going to go to jail????
