Đuvec is a great stew that can be the saviour at your next dinner party when one of the guests is horror of horrors a VEGETARIAN Arrrggghhhh !!!!!! as anyone who has hung around us balkan types or been to the region can testify is that we love our meat, and that's all types Pork ( all hail the magic meat ) lamb ( spit roasted ), goat , duck, goose, and just recently they have revived in Croatia an ancient breed of Istrian Oxen called Boscarin which is going to give wagyu a good run for its money, which is not very hard as how much average grade wagyu is out there, I passed a Subway recently and it was advertising a new Wagyu 6 inch sub ....so finding vegetarian options can be a bit tough, my wife who makes her own muesli mixes, lasted about a week on our honeymoon in Croatia with the local breakfast of cold cuts of smoked meats, cheese and pastries washed down with espresso and slivovitz, so I did what any good husband would do I found her some muesli in get this a Chemist!!! when I asked the pharmacist who bought the stuff she replied " Oh you know invalids, people with digestive problems, anybody who can't eat a proper breakfast " I on the other hand relished an opportunity to have cake for breakfast and not be stared at.
