Elvis was my uncle and the biggest Balkanac that ever lived.

A few people have asked me about the photo of Elvis and Richard Nixon that I have on the blog, I'll get to Elvis first and Tricky Dick will have to wait for another time, my parents are big Elvis fans and there was absolute silence whenever there was an old elvis movie on tv, my mum had a framed photo of Elvis on the mantle piece where ever we lived in Australia next to the photos of all our relatives back home, now I thought nothing of this as I was convinced that Elvis was " Striko Elvis " or Uncle Elvis and why not there he was up with the rest of the family, dark and swarthy like the rest of us, overseas like the rest of the relatives, and also beacuse Elvis was the biggest BALKANAC !!! ( ie someone from the balkans ) that ever lived and here's the proof
1/ Elvis was a known connoisseur of all things pork especially bacon and as anyone knows nobody loves pork more than a balkanac (the Chinese a distant second )

2/ Elvis was a mommas boy, and no self respecting balkanac can live without constant smothering from his Majka and her food.

3/ Elvis's penchant for firearms, I once spent a good part of new years eve a while back in Croatia lying on the floor of my cousins apartment as gunfire rang out all around, only to join in later to let of a few rounds whilst drunk on slivovitz, and bambus ( red wine and coke, don't knock it till you have tried it )

Recipe coming soon ( maybe one elvis would be proud of )
