I have already talked about Dolac and what a great place it is to buy fresh produce. Couple of days ago, I was told that there are a lot more stores below the open market!?
I went there today and was surprised to see so many stands selling meat, pastries and fresh cheeses. Reminded me a lot of our experience with farmers' markets in Adelaide and Sydney.
As you know, I have been having problems finding lean ground beef. Well, I found a solution! Dolac has a lot of butcher shops, so I just picked out a nice red piece of beef (leg part - I was never good with sirloin/toploin/whateverloin names) and they ground it on the spot. Now I have a nice lean chunk of ground beef to make cevapi!!! Price comparison (1kg of nice lean leg of beef = CAD 13).
I also found a fresh fish market. Lots of cool types of fish. I was tempted to buy a weird looking fish to take a picture of it, but realized that I really don't like the smell of fish. It is way too strong for me.
I used my brand new 'Foreman' grill and it was a success! Chicken was little overcooked, but as this was my first time using this grill, I would rather have my chicken overcooked than undercooked. :-) Next time it is going to be perfect. The grill is super easy to use and clean, much easier than using the oven.
I am off to look for a car. No luck so far finding what I am looking for (used Opel Corsa).
